There is ANYTHING but harmony in
the United states Senate as the diyi-
sion among The Republicans seems
daily 10 become more marked. 1t will
be remembered that the progressives
protested against the manner in which
10 emphasize their protest war was
declared p O Senator Gallinger who
had been selected for the position Of
President pro TEN. AT the present
time the House of Representatives is
waiting upon the Senate, and it can
hardly be affirmed that the latter
body has succeeded in getting down
to business, even though several
weeks have elapsed since the recon.
yening of congress. The Republicans
seem to be farther apart than ever,
and it is plainly apparent that no
unity Of action can be secured among
the membership Of the party in the
Senate. All the bills are still prac-
tjcally untouched, and no one can
safely predict that a single matter
constituting the big legislation that is
TO come later, will command the uni
fed Republican vote. The Democrats
are a little closer together but never
the less there are marked divisions
in the membership of that party in
the Senate. 1t begins to look as
though the country must spend the
entire summer listening to Senators
of the different creeds tell Of their
woes. The only important piece Of
legislation that seems to have been
cleared is that providing for the cleo
ton Of United States Senators by di-
rect vote Of the people, and the prob
abilities are that Senator Borah's res
olution will pass. Canadian recipro-
ity has already been bitterly assailed
by a number of Senators who are
| waiting 10 renew their objections on
the floor. Protests of the strongest
kind are being urged against the
measure before the Committee, and
the strongest power in opposition
comes from the farmers. Before this
measure went to the Senate, Mr.. Cum
Minis OF iowa. outlined his position in
a speech made in New York, in which
he said that he would attempt to
amend the measure. The progress
sives in the House were among the
strongest factors in opposition to the
bill. and their course indicates quite
clearly that the treaty IN its present
form will be vigorously assailed by
the same branch of the Republican
PARTY in the Senate. There are even
those who are predicting that the
treaty will fail in the upper Chamber,
bur the larger number of people state
that II will pass in some form. The
Democratic majority in the House
have their so-called farmers free
list" bill and il is expected that adj
tariff legislation including
free wool is vet 10 come. Such
as these will meet certain
death in the senate. Statehood for
New Mexico and Arizona is bound to
bring out a bitter fight and there is
certain to be a battle lor supremacy
among the elements OF Doth partieS'
having positive views regarding the
merits OF the provisions In the ATT
IONA Constitution, in reference 10 the
