conservatives assert that their ranks are
unbroken and they will elect Martin
whether Bryan likes il or not. Conse-
ouentIy a stormy session Is expected.
The insurgent forces on the Democratic
side are dominated by Senators Stone and
Culberson, with several other active mem
bers. The selection Of Senator Martin Is
only one of their points OF difference with
t. conservative element over which Sena-

differences. not so widespread but quite as
ineradicable. with respect to the Lorimer
case. the Arizona constitution and several
other questions likely 10 come up for con-
sideraton.
