DEMOCRATS HUNT
CAMPAIGN POWDER
Senators Expected to Watch
All Bills Before Their
Committees.

Senate Democrats will be expected
% pay closer attention to committee
business after this. At a meeting OF
ne Democratic steering committee yes
ter'lay,a It was the consensus of opinion
that Senator Culberson. minority leader.
should notify all Democratic Senators
that hereafter II would be advisable
for them 10 give q e closest attention
TO aH matters coming before their re-
spective committees. They are expected
TO give every dill which their commit
tees consider close scrutiny and TO be
loaded" with information about It
ia order that when any question arises
on the floor they may be prepared TO
answer it,
This means that from now on Senate
Democrats viii De expected 10 object
vigorously 10 every piece of proposed
legisla ton in which there is opportunity
to make political capital. IL IS neces-
sary for the Democrats TO have more
campaign material. Quite a dearth o
it has existed up to this time. and the
session is growing OLD and the end ap-
proaches.
The matter was brought up by SEN

on the floor OF the Senate me other day,
IN which he found IL imross ible TO get
Information he wanted from the Demo-
cratic members of the Senate Commit

the course of the debate on the Frye
resolution in regard 10 shipment of ma

of Government manufacture Of cement
was under discussion, when Senator
Tulman said:
There are Democratic members on
the Interoceanic Canal Committee.
What do they know2 What are they
on the committee for2'
The Democratic members OF the com
mittee apparently knew little about ihe
matter, and this led Senator Tillman 20
bring before the steering committee the
i'ubJect OF closer attention TO bills that
are pending before committees.
The steering committee decided on
committee assignments for the new
Senator from South Carolina, Frank b.
Gary. He was given the committee
places held by Senator Latiner. with
the exception Of agriculture and forestry
Senator Gore was assigned &c agricul-
ture and forestry, and Senate Gary
was given senator Cores place on

fact from the housetops and the column
tops. And they have been boiling ever
since. The whole State IS torn up with
the revolt. The bosses had a short
laugh; now they are in trouble.
Ohio, doubtful in recent years At best
where local issues were concerned, Is
doubtful again as to the State ticket
VIII it keep firm nationally, with Taft
a nominee for President? That's what
the politicians are asking and it is to
them a very serious question.
Secretary Taft can't get the negro
vote of lis own State. That much is
conceded against him. He is weak with
the labor vote. because as a Federal
judge he locked men VI for violating
inJunctions. He can't well spare the re-
formers, and the refoTmers are very
Disguised.
It's too early to tell the outcome, but
The politicians are watching every re-
port from Ohio with the most profound
concern II Ohio should get right ugly
II might check the Taft movement.
And that explains why the politicians
regard the Ohio revolt as the most inn
portant development OF the week.
Taft Enters Denial.

bureau, Secretary Taft yesterday de-
MED that any night had been authorized
N Illinois to secure delegates from the
Cannon fold, IL was stated that the
Secretary Is emphatic in MS determine

in his letter to Chairman Herbert Par

The dispatch from Chicago TO the ef-

pended and open warfare declared
