ANGRY AT PRESIDENT
SECRET SERTTCE AFFAIR.
Democrats Talk of Offering Resolu-
ton of CenSure.
from The Tribune Bureau. }

Washington, Dec. 9--The indignation at the
Presidents remarks regarding the curtallneht
of the usefulness OF the Secret Service shows
no signs Of abatement, some supposed II
would, and It is now proposed by the Democrats
TO introduce q resolution OF censure IN one OF
the other chamber. The Democrats believe that
in view of the resentment felt by certain pron1-
nent Republicans they can so word resolution
as 10 command certain amount Of Republican
support Many Republicans are considerably
upset by the prospect Of having TO face the
issue They understand that TO vote for the
resolution will. despite the fact that the Presi-
dents term has almost expired. seriously men
ace their own standing in their states ana
districts. On the other hand, to vote against II
would prove a bitter humiliation to men who IN
cloak and committee rooms have attacked the
President.
It is not yet settled whether the resolution
shall be introduced in the Senate or IN the
House. Some Democratic Senators insist that
the Presidents 'sIur on Congress shall not go
unrebuked. but they are not entirely prepared
to accept the responsibility and are standing
back hoping the House will strike the first blow.
II Is reported that the Secret Service opera
tives did shadow many Republicans, including
some who are high up in the councils OF the
House organization. It IS also reported that
al least one prominent Democratic Senator and
several Republicans were tracked ny the
"sIeuths" One report has it that the President
has in his possession a composite report enron
fclng the times and circumstances o. every
visit Of any prominent member Of Congress
10 a gambling house or other questionable re
sort. OF course the more sober minded mem
bers Of Congress do not place any credence IN
this report but its circulation by men ordinarily
conservative indicates the extent of the excite
nent and anxiety.
One prominent Republican insists that the
Secret Service men shadOwed him in Washing
ton and other cities. and that one operative
spent the period Of the campaign in his district
seeking 10 defeat him for Congress. He has
no evidence to prove his assertion except the
allegation Of q woman stenOgrapher who says
she won the confidence of the Secret Service
man and then betrayed him 70 the man he was
designated TO watch. Nevertheless, the mem
her Of Congress is firmly convinced Of the truth
Of his allegations.
Some of the older Senators predicted yester-
day that the entire movement TO rebuke the
President would die abornin." but to-day they
admit that there are more indications Of action
than they believed. and they are disturbed over
the prospect.
