PUBLICAN SENATORS:
No nSan has received more sincere
and earnest congratulations on his
recent speech on tic race problem
in the Senate OF lie United States
than las tie ltoa, R%enlan'in Ei''y
Tiiimah, Of South SAp6iil1a.
He did just What he said he was
going TO 90 in tat.t $ eecii, w lie
surprised his lrienGs and disappointed
his enemies; not ot.iJ BY his nGder-
alton, DtI " the deptii and states
manlike u]tleIances he delivered Oh
that occasion. ii Wits a speech wolthl
of any Statesman OF the present day,
d tie democratic party viii 40 Mcll
to make IL one OF the first and ioFe-
most campaign documents that 1T
sends ont to tile thoughtful readers
of tile country. Mr.. Tiilman BIAS
grown wonderfully in the past two
wears in the estimation Of his col
leagues or the Senate. His greatest
strength, however, lies in the knew
ledge by everybody who knows him,
of his absolute and answering hon
esty.
The extra session of the Senate
called by the President for the pur-
pose Of ratifying the Cuban and Pam
anna canal treaties has just got down
to work. 1t promises to be a much
longer session than the republicans
intended that it should be, or rather
wanted it to be. They hoped and be.
lieved that the democrats would
tamely submit to everything they
proposed and that the session would
not be over two weeks duration.
President 'Teddy'' wanted 1T that
way for he wants to go bear-huntlng
again. this time in the wilds of the
West and has set Friday, the 9th OF
March, as the day he wants to start.
The chances are they have all reck-
oned without their host, for 1T is now
believed to be the policy of the demo-
Gratis to fight the Cuban treaty to a
standstill. 1t is said, by. those who
ought to know, that not less thar
thirty democratic Senators will make
extended speeches on the Cuban reel
procity treaty. If they do, it is a
safe bet tnat they will not get away
from here for more than a month,
and perhaps two months. and that
they will have to amend both treaties
according to democratic dictation OF
they will get neither of them through.
The democrats have their fighting
clothes on now, and you are going te
see some republican fur fly.
Some people pretend to attach con-
siderable Significance to the fact that
on the reorganization of the Senate
which occurred on the assembling OF
OF this extra session, that the demo.
Gratis elected Senator German, OF
Maryland, to the position Just vacated
by Senator Jones, of Arkansas, the
Craftsmanship of the democratic eau.
Gus, which position carries with II
the leadership OF the minority on tho
floor OF The Senate. Some say that it
is a surrender Of the new element Of
the democratic party to the reorgan,
izer element or old line gold wing oil
the party. Some say that it is q dis
tinct boom for the democratic nomin-
alton for the presidency. Itisneither.
The young element CT the party Still
controls the steering committee OF
the Senate, which maps out the pro.
gram Of democratic procedure and
policy to be pursued. This element
will work in harmony with Mr.. Cor.
mar and his friends, but will not be-
dictated to by him Or his gold bus
friends. His election was q courtes,
extended to him as the man who hae
previously held the position will
signal ability q q compliment Il
and recognition Of that ability. Il
is essentially an organizer and u
adroittactltion. HE'S supposed t0b
the only man on the democratic sid
who can hold down the oleaginon
ana smooth gentleman from Rhod
Island, Senator Aldrich, the republ
can leader on the Senate floor.
Everybody is having fun with til
