to have an advantage in position and
strength, and are anxious TO force an
early caucus. They would have the

order to make sure of maintaining
what they believe is a present supe-
rfority in numbers. On the other
hand. the anti-Martin crowd Is anx-
ious to postpone tha caucus till Sat

Senator Martins opponents say that
II Martin is now elected leader, II
will be death blow to all change of
revision in the lumber tarifY down
ward; that the Bailey view of the
tariff Will be endorsed IN the most
formal way possible, and that Bailey
is the originator and sponsor for the
theory that free raw materials is not
