When the caucus met about fifty SEN
ators were present, all of the progressiVes
being on hand except Senator Crawford.
Senator Cumming put the Issue squarely
without preliminaries.
He urged the appointment of La Fol-
lette 10 the interstate commerce COM
mittee because OF his fitness and
seniority" and the naming of Bristow TO
the committee on finance because OF his
capacity for hard work and deep inter-
est in the subject
Senator Gallnser replied that the com
mttecS already were filled and II was
inexpedient to enlarge them, He added
That the progreSSdveS had been shown
all due consideration and given all the
committee assignments to which they
We're entitled.
Senator Cummius asked for separate
| vote on the two propositions. The mo-
ton TO place La Toilette interstate
commerce was VOICED down, 33 to IL.
| too. was lost, 81 to l.. Senator Curtis
deScrting the regular camp for q mo-
ment and voting with the .progressives
out or compliment to his colleague.
Progressives May Fight.
| Mr., Cummins Immediately gave notice
| that he reserved the right to carry the
| question OF reconstderatton of the votes
to the floor OF the senate. Mr.. La Fol,
! lette went further. He said he proposed
| to decide for himself whether he would
| take into the open senate not only the
question of the votes. but also the broad
or question OF tho committee appoint
ments.
Immediately after the adjournment OF
! the caucus, the progressive group held a
ture action. Although they were in scs-
sion nearly two hours no decision was
reached and the entire matter went over
until tomorrow morning, when another
conference Will be held.
| II was reported the progressives are
not in accord as ha the extent TO which
| they should go as group in showing
| their resentment. OF what they term the
| high handed methods Of the regulars in
making the conIolittee assignments.
| Most Of them expressed satisfaction
| with their assignments and appeared to
believe they had been dealt with lib
! orally.
All seemed TO feel. however, that there
! had been studied effort TO minimize
| their representation on the two impor-
tant committees OF interstate commerce
and finance. which deal with the ques-
| tions which the progressive group has
| Its liveliest interest.

| Of the principal senate committees were
