Stand as a Unit
 Or be Dumped
IRREGULAR" REPUBLICAN SENA-
 TORS CALLED TOGETHER.
NEW MOVEMENT STARTED
To Settle the Question Whether "In- surgents" Shall Dominate the Sem ate and Down the Administration.

Washington, May 4.-By the forma- tion today of an organization which it's leaders claim represents a clear ma jority of the entire senate, and is made up wholly of republicans of the "regu- lar'' wing, a. start was made with iu- tent to settle the question whether the senate shall remain conservative, be- come radical or be thrown into chaos so far as concerns any coherent policy in regard to the administrators legis- lative programme.
 Surrender Means Failure of Taft
 Policies.
 Senator A1drich called the regular republican senators together and con- possible political effect of their ap- parent defeat by the 'insurgent" re- pufblicans and democrats in the fight over the traffic agreement section of the administration railroad bill. He asked his associates whether they were ready to submit to domination by such a combination. Any such surrender, he warned them. meant the failure of the Taft policies and the downfall of conservation control. not only in con- gress. but in the republican party gen. orally. Someone reminded Senator Aldrich that senators then and there points. He replied that they must agree to stand together and let de- tails be secondary, otherwise congress would adjourn without a. single item of
  Stand Against Every Insureent Propo-
 sition.
 The entire line of this conference was belligerent as toward the 'insur- gents" This was the dominant note: Let us get together and stand a unit against every insurgent propOSi- ton. If the insurgents propose any thing good, we'll take it over boldly and put it through as our own; if they propose anything bad, we'll stamp it out''
 President Keeps Fully Advised.
 It was said without reservation that President Taft had been kept fully advised of the situation and was en- tfrely in sympathy with the plan and virtually pledged to it. It was said for the conferees that while the measures which would be resorted to were hero fc, they were necessary in defense of the administration and the integrity of the republican party and as means to effective legislation whatever
 To Senator Aldrich was given the leadership of the new movement.
