Republican Factions at Odds and

Are the Foundation of All the
Trouble.
Party Caucuses Are Scheduled
for This Afternoon.

/
| take place on the senate floor tomor-
row. Republican factions are at odds
| over the demands made by the insur-
/ gents and rejected by the majority of
the committee on committees and the
Democrats, likewise are dissatisfied
with the assignments said to have been
| given them by the minority steering
| committee.
The split in the Republican ranks
which threatens Republican supremacy
in the senate assumed grave proper
tions today when the regular Republic
cans fatty refused to meet three de-
| mandS Of the progreSSiveS. These de-
mands were that Senator LaFollette
be given a place on the committee on
| interstate commerce, Bristow on for
eign relations and Cummins on finance.
Coupled with these demands was the
| one that Mr.. Bourne be appointed to
| the appropriation committee. The COM
mittee of the committees session was
| brief and reported to have been some
| what acrimonious. Senator Gallinger,
| chairman of the committee, presented
| a completed list of appointments to
committees. When it was discovered
| by Mr.. LaFOllette that one of the four
final progressive claims had been al
| lowed he Immediately announced his
complete disapproval of the tentative
| list.
Il reserve the right to object further
| he said, because we consider we have
been treated unfairly and unjustly.''''
On a vote to adopt the Gallinger list
| the committee divided z to 4, the four
progressives voting solidly. The eau
| Gus which meets at o'clock probably
will support the regulars in their selec-
tions and the fight then will be ca~-
ried into the open.
