MORGAN is AN EXAMPLE

elections of the coming year are likely
to result in a number of changes in
the upper house in favor of the presi-
dent. The cases which were then cited
all involved northern or far western
states; it was assumed that democrats
from the south could all be accepted
as opponents OF the president for po-
litical reasons.
Yet there has just come TO light a
most interesting evidence hat even in
the south there is a rising tide of sup
port for the administration Alabama
is represented by the TWO Oldest sem
ators, PCtIus, aged 81, and Morgan,
aged 81. Morgan has had thirty years
OF continuous service, and his colleague
is a veteran of many years.
Senator Morgan is probably as con-
Sistent and untiring an opponent as
the administration has. He is against
canal policies and against the railroad
rate regulation proposal, strongly in
siSting that this policy would bring
commercial disquiet and troubles, and
that the common law provides all the
relief the community needs against the
railroads.. 1t has been assumed all
over the country that Morgan, espe-
cially, was firm in his seat for so long
as he might live.
Morgan Has Lost Grip.

To Help San DOMINICAN Treaty.
1t Is this general sentiment of friend
illness that the administration relies
upon to secure some southern votes for
the San Domingo treaty. The last few
days have developed an illustration of
the system Of putting on the White
House screws to bring people into line
for policies. Southern senators have
been invited to the White House to dis
cuss the DOMINICAN treaty, and SCUM
ern represen: atives have been labored
with in the effort to get some of them
to desert the combination of reDubli-
cans, Insurgents and democrats on he
statehood question. 1t is this final an
