publican insurgents win the fight,
they say that upon the "Allies' will
devolve the responsibility of legisla-
ton.
The particular obstruction in the
pathway of agreement between the
regulars and the insurgents is the
proposed elimination of the speaker.
The regulars say the speaker,
having committed no wrong, shout
not be discredited. Some friends of
the speaker contend that if the
house over-rules him tomorrow he
would "welcome" relief from the
committee. The speaker himself is
silent AMI no statement has been
forthcoming from his Office as to his
point ct view
Champ Clark Satisfied.
Representative Champ Clark, lead
er. of the minority and his chief
lieutenant, Representative Under
wood of Alabama, were satisfied
with the situation at adjournment
although with their solid party, they
had voted against it.
Concerning tie conferences of the
republican regulars and insurgents
which were held today and will con-
tinue tomorrow morning Mr.. Clark
said: .'s','f ..,'Tr'- ~. ..~..,,sz H.
s'They may agree upon something
that we democrats can also stand.
for, but I don't believe it. If they
get together on something that we
don't believe in, we will fight it and
you can depend on that"
Upon Mr.. Clark has fallen the
great burden of the battle for the
past two days from the democratic
side and he showed the effects of
the long strain, When the motion
to adjourn was put and carried, he
arose slowly from his seat on the
democratic side and made his way
YEARLY out of the chamber, appar-
emily glad that:respite had come. =:
Representative Underwood was
more specific as to what attitude the
democrats might be expected to take
when the house convenes tomorrow.
No one tonight would venture to pre-
dict. Thev@republican leaders are
sparing no effort to get every regu-
lar, republican absentee on the
ground for the final test vote If it
comes. Although; practically all of
those who are impaired have arrived
it was apparent that the leaders were
not sure of their strength If the is
sue had come to a vote today.
The insurgents confidently claim
that when the final vote is taken on
the Norris resolution that their total
vote will be SO, which combined with
/ the full democratic vote would be
more than safe majonity of the
house.. The democratic leaders so
far have held their forces strictly in
hand and on every vote; poiled their
full strength.
Tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock
the regulars +, and insurgent leaders
will meet in the ways and means
committee. ~. So Z: 81
washington, Mar ST. Tomorrow
morning at 9 O'Clock the regulars
and insurgent Leaders will meet in
! the. room Of the ways and means
i committee of the house to discuss a
possible compromise: Both sides ad-
mitted tonight after "a journment
of the house that no: tangible basis
of compromise had been suggested.
| They said that only vague general
tiles had been discussed in the con-
ferences today and nothing preached
by either side that gave promise of
being ground for getting together.
Cannon In the WAY.
It was said today that the atti-
, tude of Speaker Cannon himself is
the greatest stumbling block in the
way of compromise. The speaker
declines to be eliminated from the
rules committee. ",%. r.
