No Party Split Likely

So far as the president is concerned
he would be willing to have congress
in session during the summer months.
He has indicated his entire readiness
to remain in. Washington next summer
il congress will undertake at that time
the consideration of tariff measure,
but congress thus far has shown no
disposition to accede to the proposition
of a hot weather session.
While no decision of definite char
acter has been reached as to the time
of the extraordinary session, 1t is rea-
sonable to believe that If one should
be called to meet next autumn it prob
ably will be in october.
1t was added that there is not the
least prospect of differences so radical
arising between the president and the
Republican leaders in congress over
the tariff question as to cause split
in the party.
While the president is deeply in
earnest in his desire for tariff REVISION
he regards the question as one of ex-
pediency, inasmuch as no principle Is
at stake.
On another question, however, that oil
legislation relating to interstate freight
rates of railroads, his mind is quite
made up. He will fight for that legls-
lation, and fight hard. He hopes 10
secure from congress some dehnlte
action regarding that legislation at the
present session, but if he does not ne
will bring the subject again before con-
gress at the proposed extraordinary
session and will urge with all his power
the capitalization into law OF the
recommendations he has already made
to congress on that question. The
freight rate question he does not regard
as one of expediency. He holds that
it is a subject in which great moral
principle is involved, and one very near
to all the people of the country. He
regards it, in fact, as the paramount
issue at this time.
Some concern was given at the con-
ference to the subject of appropriations
to be authorized at the present session
of congress. The president cordially
approved of the disposition of congress
to hold the appropriations down to the
lowest possible limit, but he urged
very strongly that the naval appropria-
tions should not be materially dis
turbed, saying that the best guarantee
of peace for this country lies in a
strong and homogeneous navy, and that
the naval program as mapped out
should be carried into effect without
the dropping of a single vessel. The
president maintained that congress
should authorize the construction not
merely of one or two cruisers, but OF
fighting ships, battleships, and he ex-
pressed the hope that an agreement
with him in this regard might be
reached in congress.
Whether there will be an extra session
for revision of the tariff is a question:
in the expressed opinion of a number
of the senate leaders, that must be de-
termined by the president and the
house. In other words several senators
contend steadfastly that the RESPONSE
bllty OF tariff revision agitation must
be borne by the house, while the senate

islator tonight. "he will owe his posi-
ton to Abe Ruef and Herrn, who is
at the head Of the so-called organiza-
ton"
The fact that Oxnard did not figure in
the senatorial balloting today is viewed
with considerable speculation. One re-
port has It that he could find no votes
and another is that the Organization"
thought best for him to keep out of the
fight. This, If correct, dispenses with
the idea that hands off, was the case
In the Flint camp.
The scenes in the hotel lobbies and
on the streets last night and early
this morning were interesting as well
as exciting. Abe Ruef held the center
of the stage at all times. When bal
loting commenced for the senatorship
shortly before noon Ruef was on
deck and saw to it that no change was
made in the program.
Two hours after Ruef reached Sac
ramento he boasted publicly that he
had the balance of power Tomorrow s
developments will determine whether
he was correct. An attempt was made
tonight by the Flint managers to call
q general caucus, but the idea was
fnlly abndoned until tomorrow morn
ing 1t is said that more than hfty
legislators signed the call for cau-

Extra Session In Spring

The president added that his own
view was that the special session
should take place at the earliest date
at which the committees of the two
houses could come to an agreement as
to "a ballot. If they took this view,
he said, he would hold himself ready
to call the extraordinary session at
whatever time the members of the two
committees, especially the house COM
mittee on ways and means, should in
form him they would be ready with
their report.
If congress should act on the tariff
on the question in accordance with the
presidents desire it was made perfect
ly plain today that the extraordinary
session would be called to assemble
the coming spring. 1t has been point
ed out, however, by the tariff experts
of the house and of the senate that it
will require many weeks to prepare
a measure for submission to the house.
The president realizes that there is
practical objection to an early spring
session of congress, as the members
of the committee have not the time
now necessary to devote to the prepara-
ton of tariff bill.

oxnard WithhoIds His Name

There are signs of weakness among
the Fisk enthusiasts, but Senator
Wolfe, who placed Fiske's name before
the upper house, says that he believes
the candidate of his choice will receive
as many votes in joint h lot tomorrow
as he did today.
One of the biggest surprises of the
day was the letter sent by Henry r..
Oxnard to his friends announcing the
fact that he would not urge the pre-
sentation of his name on the first day
of the balloting. He had carefully
concealed all information as to who
would make his nominating speeches,
but it was not suspected that his name
would not even be mentioned as a cam
didate in either house.
The assembly chamber and the hotel
lobbies are buzzing with excitement
tonight, despite the fact that the call
for the Flint caucus has been set
for an early hour tomorrow.
AS result of the caucus this morn
ing Flint claims twenty votes, as fol-
lows.
Senators Bauer Bunkers, French,
Haskins, Keane, Markey and Nelson;
Assemblymen Anthony, Atkinson,
Beckett, Boyle, Cullen, Hartman, Luz

Fail to Hold a Caucus

The strenuous effort made by the
supporters of Frank Flint to hold
caucus in the assembly chamber of the
capitol tonight was unsuccessful and an
adjournment was taken until tomorrow
morning at o'clock.
The managers of the candidate who
led in the days voting commenced the
circulation of a caucus call late this
afternoon and when s o'clock came, it
was claimed that the list contained
fifty-two names.
"Of the fifty-two names signed to the
Flint caucus CALI said Leo Young
worth, county surveyor of Los Angeles
county, one of the leading managers
in Flints camp, "were the signatures
of six men who voted today for candi-
dates other than Flint. Owing to the
fact that q correct list of the addresses
of the members of the legislature has
not yet been compiled, eight or ten
names of men who voted today for
Flint could not be secured for the call.
1t was therefore decided to postpone
further effort to hold a caucus until
9 o'clock tomorrow morning"

Flint Confident of Victory

There was great jubilation tonight in
Flint's headquarters. Flint said:
There is not one chance in thou
sand of beating me now. In my opinion,
when the first joint ballot is taken to-
morrow afternoon 1 will be elected with
votes to spare"
The supporters of George A. Knight
rallied around him tonight and agreed
to stand by him.
my friends have agreed to support
me to the last, and 1 am by no means
a beaten candidate" declared Knight.
THE failure of the Flint caucus to-
night shows that my opponent has not
the strength that has been credited to
him. There is no telling what the
developments of tomorrow morning
will bring forth and 1 am hopeful that
they will be favorable to me-"
There was no sign of encouragement
in Senator Bard's. camp, although it
was admitted by some of his managers
that 1t looked as though the battle had
been won by Flint.
