Bryan's Bossism Irksome.
washington, April 6-Whether IL
senators constituting the Democrat
lc party in the senate shall support
a conservative or progressive policy
during the present session of con.
gress, formed the subject of an earn.
est and animated conference partict
pated in yesterday by about Is Demo.
cratic senators. The meeting was
held in the committee rooms of Sen.
ator Stone of Missouri.
The gathering grew out of the Wis
it of William J. Bryan and was due
to the prospect that Senator Martin
OF Virginia would be elected chair.
man of the Democratic senatorial
caucus.
The Nebraska leader is understood
to have conseled his intimate sena
torial friends to select some other
senator more inclined toward the
Bryan policies.
Mr.. Bryan offered no personal OBJ
lection to Mr.. Martin, but pleaded
that the party should take advantage
OF its present opportunity. He
thought this could be done only
through an aggressive policy, tt
which, in Mr.. Bryan's opinion, Mr.
Martins membership would not BIZ
conducive.
AS many of the Democratic sena
tors had pledged their votes to theil
Virginia colleague, the suggestion
was embarrassing, and conservative
senators expressed resentment at ths
interposition. The conference occu
pied four hours. The only definite
conclusion reached was to ask tina
the Democratic senatorial caucus
scheduled for today, be postponed
until Friday. There will be no ses
sion of the senate Friday, thus al
fording further opportunity for ex
changing views.
The scope of yesterdays discus
sion expanded from caucus leader
ship to legislative program. All th'
senators present expressed them
selves as favorable to the course o
action formulated by the house o
Democratic caucus last Saturday.
This program embraces the apprt
val of the constitutions adopted b
New Mexico and Arizona, includin
the recall provision of the latter; tn
acceptance of the Canadian recipro,
ity agreement and the election {
senators by direct vote, and the r,
apportionment of the house of rel
resentatives.
