Martin Wanted a More
Progressive.

Washington, April 7 7.Senator Mar
tin OF Virginia. at the Democratic cau-
Gus today, was elected IS permanent
caucus chairman and minority leader
by q OFT OF 81 votes, 10 going to
Shiyely or Indiana. who was elected
vice chairman. Senator Chiffon OF
West Virginia, was elected secretary,
the last two named places having
been filled by acclamation.
Senator owen declined reelection
as secretary.
The expected long contest did not
develop. Prior TO the session the
Progressive Democrats as the follow
ers Of William Jennings Hfyan pre-
fcsrcd to be Designated as progress
sivc, met in the Office of Senator
Owen 10 canvas the situation. /.
II was decided the progressives
should vote for Senator Newlands OF
Nevada, as Senator'S Culberson OF
Texas and Stone of Missouri both de-
clined to become candidates.
The plan ives changed in the cau-
Gus, however. when II ives learned
that MI. Shivoly who was. the vice
/ chairman under the leadership OF
Senator Money in tho last congress,
would not object to leeeiving Q
complimentary vote Of those WHO
wDfld no vote for Mr.. Martin,
Several Of the progressiyes cnn-
ccded that Senator Martin could not
roe feseatea. Faiiure to unset his
candidacy was due partly to his Law
Ing heen brought out as the candidate
of the Bryan following, led BY By sseF'a-
tor stone, to prevent The election or
either Senator Bacon or Baile7.
Mr.. Martin was notified BY Senator
Clarke CT Arkansas and Senator
snivoly by Senator Kern, the running
mate Of Mr.. Eryan in the last cam
| paign.
Senator Stone seconded the Shi1s'y
nomination.
The fact ttat the battle had been
fought in advance Of the caucus en-
abled the Democrats TO keep in the
sack ground all OF the Bryan and
antt.Dryan sentiment manifested dur
! ing the preliminary skirmishes
The friends of Senator Martin de-
cided that inasmuch as they had the
votes to elect their candidate It
would be folly to bring the question
into the caucus.
The appointment by Chairman Mar
tin of steering committee which viii
also serve as committee on commit
tees, was authorized by the caucrs.
| The statement issued by Senator
Owens speaking for senators who
voted against ,dr. Martin, says:
'Those who supported Senator
shlvely did so because they are milf
tant progressive Democrats deter
mined to enforce the politics of the
national progressive Democracy and
they feared the country might feel
Senator Martin would not be re-
garded as progressive as the country
had right to expect for the Demo-
cratic leadership.
There are at least % or 20 milf
tant progressive Democratic senators
who are going 10 do things and trust
and believe that even those Demo-
cratic senators who have not been re-
garded as in complete sympathy with
the national platform will be found
actively progressive so there shall be
in the senate party united in spirit
and common purpose to control the
special interests Of this country and

unusually good catches. in the outheld.
First it was Milan, then Gessler, and
Milan again who have distinguished
themselves.
"Pin rose on that man Milan" re-
marked fan to-day, He is one of the
best felders in the game. McAleer GER
tainly got his moneys worth when he
signed him."
z. Walker and Milan each made triples,
all of which indicated that the Nationals
have their eye on the sphere.
McAIeer was peesimistic before the
games started. But after it was all over
he wore a smile that meant that conf
dence had been restored under his trou-
bled sky-piece.
The four runs which the Nationals put
over in the fourth inning proved to be
enough to win the game.
Milan went all the way to third on
SLOW grounoer.
