 Causes No Little Speculation Among Republican Status of Insurgents" During Sh ort Session

Washington, Nov. 27.-When con- sress meets week from tomorrow it will have just three months in which to perform whatever may be the de- mands of a republican administration.

 Confronted with a situation full of confusion. the success or failure of the approaching short session of the Stx- ty-drst congress is believed to rest with the character of the executive message to be sent to the legislative bodies, according to republican party leaders who are now in the city Many of the regular republicans who were defeated in the recent elections are not expected to accept with the best Uf grace the blows so harshly admin istered and this fact will cut out for the president a task far more difficult and complex than any that have been presented to an executive within a Bcore of years.
 What the President Realizes.
 Realizing that he will be criticised 3f he fails to demand of congress fur ther revision of the tarlff-especiall of the wool and woolen schedule, and fully cognizsnt of the fact that the prospects would be all against the suc- cess of such a programme, if submit ted, the president it is said, has not made up his mind definitely what his course will be. The chances are that he will not insist upon action during the approaching session, but that he will offer to the democratic house and the republican senate a year hence programme for t1rin revision which will be bolstered up with facts and figures gathered in the meantime by the tariff board.
 Personally the president has made it clear to his callers that he does not purpose to withdraw any part of his programme, although compelled to al-

"The women's clubs of this country, so striking a feature in our national life, are organized for work. It may be for education. or propagandas. or charity, or philanthro- py.

ter his plans somewhat, just because the democrats are about to come into control of the house of epresentatives. The short time that remains of re- publican nlajorities in both branches vi tne national legislature is used by the president as an argument for pressing forward. Many of his callers concede the point he makes, but be- ing more familiar than he with fili bustering methods, they are not so sanguine as to the feasibility of the administration's ambitions.
 Billion Dollars in Appropriations.
 Within the short session which be- gins next week fourteen regular ap- propriation bills, carrying an aggre- be passed. Otherwise, there would be necessity for an extra session next spring.
 The Democratic Position.
 Leaving the appropriation bills out of consideration, the democrats are disposed to take the broad position that legislation of 8 general character should be postponed until they come into the degree of power that has been conferred upon them. CSntending that the last election was an expression of the popular will, they urge that it should be needed. to the extent of per- hitting the democracy to take the in- itiative in whatever new action is to be considered.
 Noticeable Change in Attitude Toward
 Insurgents.
 Many members are speculating as to the status of ''insurgent" republicans during the short session. There is a noticeable change in the attitude of the staIwarts towards this faction of the party. Generally there seems to be a tendency toward accepting the result at the polls as an expression of sentiment in the direction of progress sive action, although some of the de- feated members of the old guard com bat this idea and attribute the ovet- turn of the republican house to a 'landslide'' with the variety of mean ings attached to that expression.
