WASHINGTON, D. c., March 8.
Senator Borah will bring up his
resolution in favor of election of
senators by the people as soon as
the extra session of the senate
comes together. The Borah reso-
luton was killed by four votes.
There is a net gain in the new
senate of eight progressive mem
bers. Thus, when the roll is CALL
ed again there will have to be a
lively scramble if the resolution
is again to be defeated.
l note that there is no reply as
yet to the open letter addressed
by Senator LaFollette to President
Taft asking him when he expects
to pass upon the fraudulent Cum
ningham coal claims.
Two nice places have been pre-
pared for those valued and honor
Fble lame ducks, James A. Tawn-
~ and Tom Carter. There is to
be an international commission to
adjust something or other be-
tween the United States and Can
ida, when any adjusting needs to
be done, and Messrs. Tawney and
carter are to do the adjusting.
Mr.. Taft has the thing nicely ar
'anged, and one of the incidents
IS the fact that the commission
fixes its own salary and deter
mines the amount and the salaries
of its own help. Now could any
thing nicer be prepared for lame
ducks? Sincerely,
RATH.
