TOO ARBITRARY.
Fails to Please Some in Selecting
Certain Members of Steering
Committee Without Advice.
DUBOIS AND BAILEY KICKING

Washington, March 10-Although
unanimously selected as Democratic
leader of the senate. Arthur +. COR
man is said to have already started !
a feeling of discomfort among his fol
lowers. The result OF what some OF
the members consider MS
arbitrary action in selecting !
members of the Democratic cau-
Gus may be the organization OF stub
born and unyielding opposition from
ouite one-half of his side of the cham
Der on every political move of i'm
pOrtance he makes.
Al the recent caucus Senator Da,
b0is. of Idaho. and Senator Bailey OF
Texas. the recognized leaders Of the
now element of Democratic senators,
gave Mr.. German plainly to under
stand that he must reckon upon them
and the following before committing
the party to any proposition. In splf-
tied speeches they contended for
strict observance of the precedent es-
tabiished by the party caucus two
years ago. for the members OF the
steering committee to be selected By
the caucus of the whole and not nam
ed by the chairman.
Mr.. German minated broadley his
acquiscence in this proposition and
when the caucus adjourned ii Vas CEN
orally understood hat at q subsequent
meeting The new steering committee
Was 10 be selected in accordance with
the Dabois=Bailev plan. But in less
than an hour after adjournment Nj.
German announced the nine members
The expressed desire ef tie new ele-
ant was thai ths three neH members
tc re added should be Mr.. Patterson
ii 5o,orado Mr. Fester Of Louisiana,
and Mr. Taliaferro Of Florida.
As Nh Dubois was already a mem
Der of the committee it was agreed
the addition Of these three from his ell
ement would place them on
even terms with the old Ell
cment represented in the persons OF
CGckrill of Missouri. Mr. Martin of Nir
einia, Mr. Bacon OF Georgia. and Mr.
Mooney of Mississippi, with Mr.. Cor
man. as umpire.
Instead Of choosing the three sena
jc1s acceptable to the new element
Mr.. German selected Nj. blackburn
of Kentucky. Mr. Tillman OF Soutl
Carolina and Mr.. Bailey of Texas,
This gives the new element only tW'
representatives of the committee, Bail
