few months ago when revolt
threatened the leadership Of Senator
Culberson. Senator Culberson's resig-
nation was in the hands Of the caucus
and the name Of his successor had
been agreed on practically before the
doors were closed for the caucus
When the honor was first offered TO
Senator Money he sidestepped. and
then a canvass was made 70 find an
other leader OF the minority Various
names we're suggested. including that
OF Senator Bailey. Of Texas UT. Bailey
believes that leaders are born and not
elected. and he spoke up promptly and
said that he would not have the leader
ship under any circumstances. Il Is
certain that he could not have been
elected without opposition. AMI IL is
doubtful whether he could have been
elected under any circumstances
Senator Culberson's leadership has
not been approved generally by his
party colleagues Some OF them
thought he was not sum'lehI! az
gressive during the tariff bill consid-
Grafton in the senate last summer. and
still others objected TO the manner In
which ne had distributed party favors
as the caucus chairman. So strong
was the feeling against him at one
time in the tarif legislation that the
question Of calling a conference with
view to dlsposing Of him and elect
ing Senator Shively was considered
seriously.
This threatened storm abated. how
ever. and the senator from Texas had
the privilege OF giving his colleagues
a surprise at the beginning Of the SEES
sion by announcing his voluntary re
linauishment Of the leadership. The
reason he assigned was i'll health. and
his colleagues who are aware ne is
not well are ready to accept this as
sufficient explanation.
