vote in the senate on the popular cleo

Several conferences are figured on
including caucus Of Democrats in
the house Wednesday night to consid.
or extension of the legislative pro.
gram, and a meeting of Republican
senators to revise the list of senate
employees. House investigating com.
mittees will continue their work.

ment, which Senator Smoot and some
others predict as early as July
~, while Democratic Leader Under.
wood says: IF the extra session con.
tfnued until late summer or autumn
a more comprehensive scheme of tar
i'll revision will be proceeded with by
the house."
Early action on the reciprocity bill,
hoped for by the president, seems un.
likely unless the Root amendment,
which has been objected to as fatal
to the agreement, is defeated.
Amendment TO be Opposed.
Mr.. Underwood and other Democrats
who oppose the Root amendment now
propose to exert all the influence they
can to prevent favorable action on the
amendment so that it will be unneces-
sary for the bill to be re-referred to
the lower branch of congress.
Word from the senate finance COM
mittee that it has practically wound
up its business for the extra session
has reached the house. Democratic
representatives are about convinced
that the senate committee will not
pass upon any of their tariff legisla-
tive bills, the free list and wool bills
and one yet to come, probably a re-
vised cotton schedule, upon which a
house subcommittee of the ways and
means is now working.
Because of the attitude Of the sen.
ate finance committee toward the
house tariff bills, Senator Stone
backed by other Democrats, has
served notice that after waiting rea.
sonable time for the committee to act
motions would be made to have it dis.
charged from bills referred to it, such
as the free list bill and the wool bill
This would force discussion on these
measures to the front and disposition
OF them in that way might be made
but not without prolonged discussion.
In the senate the bill providing fol
the popular election of United States
senators by amendment to the con
stitution will be voted on, June IL hav
ing been agreed upon some time age
as the date to complete the work or
that measure. Indications point
strongly to it's passage by the neces
sary two-thirds majority. At the last
session a similar measure almost sc
cured the necessary two-thirds.
With a view of insuring the widest
publicity Of all the expenditures o.
candidates for congress, the senate
committee on privileges and election.
next week will complete amendment
to the house bill on this subject, which
will vastly broaden the proposed laws
It is proposed to make the law ap
plicable to primary as well as regular
elections
