CONTEST ON FOR DEMOCRATIC
LEApERshIP IN UPPER
HOUSE.
cULeERsoN, OF TEXAS,
FAvoRlrE FOR POSITION
eaiisy's Following Of Democratic
standpattsrs smalI-Ssnator Owen
Succeeds in Defining Issue Which
Threatens to Disrupt His Party
Peoples Rule or Machine Rule.
Especial Correspondence

Washington, March 9.-Progressive
democrats in the senate are determi ned
to control the senate caucus which Will
choose a new leader to succeed Sen
ator Money. Of Mississippi
After Senator Bailey withdrew his
resignation and claimed an inferenual
.vindicat,on" by his statement that he
had the assurance Of the "ablest and
most conspicuous democrats" in the
body tina, they agreed with him in OPP
position TO the initiative. referendum
and recall. it was rumored that the
Texan would so so far as to ask for the
titular leadership of the party.
This caused a dozen informal con-
ferences among the progressives. both
OF the old member and such new SEN
ators as are in the city.
Culberson of Texas. Stone OF Mis-
souri,. and Clarke of Arkansas are mem
toned as probable candidates for the
leadership. Certainly Culberson will be
the favorite If he will consent again
70 stand for the place, which he was
forced to resign on account OF i'll health.
His health is now much improved and
he may be persuaded again to take the
position.
Bailey Following Small.
Bailey will have probably eleven or
twelve votes according to the progress
sives If he sees tina, he can not mus
ter more than that, the progressives
believe he will endeaver to form a
com bination to elect Bacon Of Georgia.
or some other man friendly TO him.
The progressives prefer not to make
public statements until they have
agreed among themselves upon their
plan OF action
They do say. however. that the Lori
mer vote and the Bailey-Owen contro-
versy over the Arizona constitution
practically show the line OF cleavage
between the progressives and the tories
among senate democrats. This same
division was Indicated by the sigma
lures to the telegram to Governor
Colquitt asking him to decline to ae-
cept Ba!ley's resignation. OF course,
the whole situation will be changed II
it is found that Baaley's resignation
was actually effective. but many sem
ators are not inclined TO hold this view.
Owen Gains HE Point.
Senator Owen OF Oklahoma, who
brought on the Bailey sensation by his
ilibuster in behalf Of Arizona, thinks
that he has succeeded in getting the
principle Of direct legislation before the
country as an issue. Senator Owen
said today:
How can you pass thorough-going
corrupt practices act in any state
where the legislators are elected by a
system Of corrupt practices. except by
the exercise of direct legislation, or the
initiative and referendum? VIII ma
chine Legislators pass an act to destroy
the incubating machine that hatched
them?
This is why all machine politicians
and all Of the corrupt agents Of the
special interests try to howl down the
initiative and referendum as 'vagaries'
and as 'populistic.' Some splendid hon.

impress upon the packers the fact that
growers are willing to ship freely when
