First Victory.

Thus the first strategic victory OF the
new lineup was won by the progressive
Democratic junta.
It is the present intention OF the pro-
Eressive Democrats of both houses, in
the event Of an extra session, to pass
the Canadian reciprocity bill in it's
present form as the very first act of
the general tariff revision program.
What course will be pursued by Demo-
cats who follow Mr.. Bailey is not yet
apparent.
The important fact is that the pro-
gressive Democrats in the Senate at
last have got together. and have formed
an organization which will place them
in control of their side of the Senate
in the SiNty-second Congress.

Republicans Help Out.

This Willingness to play the traitor to
the Democratic program as expressed in
the lower house alarmed the progressive
Democrats in the Senate. They saw
that II was necessary to postpone vote
on reciprocity until the next Congress.
But they could not afford to hlibuster
against the reciprocity bill. which they
favor.
At this stage Of tho game the Repub-
iCans helped them out by making the
tariff board bill the unfinished business
and placing IT ahead of the appropria-
tiOn bills in the Senate.
When that was done II was only nee
essary for the progressive Democrats in
the Senate 10 make their -flibuster
against the tariff board measure.
To make it clear that the responsible
ity for this filibuster must be charged
up to the Republicans. the Democrats.
or most of them, voted for Senator
Bankhead's motion to take up the post
office appropriation bill This motion
was defeated by the solid opposition
Of the Republicans-standpa and
progresSiveS alike.

second Congress. provided the Renuh-
hcan supporters Of that proposition in
the Senate will stand firm.
This sudden turning of chaos into
order among the Senate Democrats was
brought about by the Lorimer vote and
the reciproClIs bill.
The LOrimer vote showed clearly the
line Of demarcatIon between the Demo-
Gratis headed by Bailey and the pro-
Sressive Democrats hitherto without
organization
IT is significant that the Democrats
who voted for Lorimer are, in the main,
the same Democrats who were willing
TO defeat reciprocity and thus avoid an
extra session by putting il up to Presf-
dent Taft that the Senate had met his
request for vote on that proposition.
