appointments did not develop, 1t is
expected to come at the next session
of the Senate, tomorrow.
When the routine morning business
had been|disposed of. Senator Calling
er, as chairman of the caucus, pre-
sented the resolution carrying the list
of designations for committees on the
Republican side. He asked its adop-
ton.
Senator Cummins, one of the insur-
gents, objected to immediate consid-
GRAFTON and asked that the matter go
over until the next session and under
the rules 1t was necessary to defer
action. -
1nsurgent Protest Expected.
|. 1t is expected that when the Senate
meets tomorrow, the insurgents will
protest vigorously over the refusal of
the regulars to allow Senator La Fol-
lette a place on the Interstate Com
merce Committee. over the refusal to
allow Cummins or Bristow on Foreign
Relations.
The progressive Republicans held a
long conference this morning. Senator
La Toilette wants to fight to a finish
on the floor. Others of the progress
sives are less pugnacious and are salts
ned with what the regulars have al
lowed them.
Other conferences will be held before
the session tomorrow, but there is lit
tie doubt that Senator La Toilette will
make strong objection and that Senator
Cummins also will do so.
In the row over the Senate commit
tees, ore of the peculiar facts about
the situation is that the regulars have
been extremely tenacious about the For
eign Relations Committee
They have heen slow to allow the
progressive Republicans places on that
committee. A good deal of mystery as
to the reason for this has been mani
Tested.
"Dollar Diplomacy" Fear.
1t appears that the organization lead
ers in the Senate are fearful that II
the progressives should get the balance
Of power on the committee there would
be war on the so-called dollar diplo-
macy of the state Department.
Particularly. they have been fearful
lest ratification Of the Hondurian loan
treaty, in which ]. Pierpont Morgan G.
Co. are interested. should be balked.
1t develops that one Of the progress
sives Of the Senate was told he could
nave pIdCS On Ine fOTelRn RELATIONS
Committee, but Immediately attempts
were made to tie him UP to the sup
port of certain Of the plans favored by
the State Department in pursuance of
dollar diplomacy."-
Thereupop, the progressive spurned
the place and in effect told the Senator
who was seeking TO bind him, to 90 to
a warmer climate.
1t is declared in Senate circles that
the Republican leaders in the Senate
