PARTIES ARE DIVIDED
LEADERS HAVE LITTLE HOPE OF
RESTORING MORE THAN SUR
FACE HARMONY AT PRESENT.
Storms Ahead in Extra Session Of
Congress, There Being Virtually
Four Parties, Each With Large
Representation, Working Very
Much at Odds.

Westinghouse is daily becoming
manifest that congress is facing a
stormy session, and there can be no
forecast Of the probabilities.
The fact that both of the great DO
htical parties are divided is no
longer denied, and the leaders appear
to have lit lie hope of restoring more
than surface harmony.
There are virtually four parties,
each with large representation.
working at odds, in the present ses-
sion. The Republican minority of the
house is divided between regulars and
insurgents, as was evidenced by the
vote on the speakership contest.
The breach between these two fac
tons is even wider in the Republican
majority Of the senate.
A sharp line has been drawn be-
tween the conservative Democrats of
the senate, who are opposed to any
attempt at dictation by William ].
Bryan, and the progressive Demo
Gratis including practically all the new
members and several veterans like
Senator Stone of Missouri, who are
Bryan adherents. The house Demo
cratic majority seems to have es-
capped a break, but the leaders fear
the party contest in the senate may
at any time spread to the other
branch. The situation has interfered
with the selection of committees and
the beginning Of legislative work.
Possibly there never has been a
congress where SO much uncertainty
existed and where the uneasiness has
been SO equally distributed between
the two major political parties. OF
course this is due in part to the fact
that in the present congress the Dem
ocrats are in power in the house and
the Republicans are in control of the
senate.
The real cause of the anxiety is be-
lieved to be the proximity of the
party conventions which will select
the standard bearers for 1912, and the
knowledge that slip by either in the
extraordinary session of the regular
session may determine the result of
the next national campaign.

among congressman of the letter
written by President Taft to Represen-

ing Democratic leaders in the house
that he had no intention of proroguing
congress Immediately after the pas

ITCHED so COULD NOT SLEEP

Il suffered from the early part of
December until nearly the beginning
of March with severe skin eruptions
on my face and scalp. At first l
treated it as a trivial matter. But
after having used CASTLE soap, medi-
Gated washrags, cold cream, vanish
ing cream, etc, found no relief what
ever. After that l diagnosed my case
as eczema, because of its dry, scaly
appearance. The itching and burning
of my scalp became so intense that l
thought l should go mad, having not
slept regularly for months past, only
at intervals, waking up now and then
because of the burning and itching of
my skin. Having read different tes-
timontals of cures by the Cuticura
Remedies, decided to purchase a box
of Cuticura Ointment and a cake of
Cuticura Soap. After using them for
a few days 1 recognized a marked
change in my condition. l bought
about two boxes of Cuticura Ointment
and five cakes of Cuticura Soap in all.
and after a few days l was entirely
free from the itching and burning.
My eczema was entirely cured, all
due to using Cuticura Soap and Oint.

be without cake of Cuticura Soap on
