Lodge Points to Precedents

Senator Lodge in supporting the Pres ident's position and in attempting to jus tify his course, points out preeedents for the unusual number of appointments fin the last days of the administration, in the last appointments made by President Cleveland, most of which, he declares, were confirmed by a republican Senate. MT. Cleveland also permitted republican postmasters and other important office holders to remain in office until their commissions expired and 1t is based upon this precedent. with the belief that Presi- dent Wilson will follow it, that many democrats believe President Taft is mak- ing many appointments and in some cases re-appointments where the con- missions of the appointees have not ex- pired and have some time yet to ru1T
 There are quite a number of the pow erfu leaders in Congress who are in favor of the President Wilson calling the extra session of Congress early in March instead of waiting till April Q as he has indicated, and it is said that these in- huences will be brought into operation to induce him to do so
 The ways and means committee will have the tariff schedules prepared before March f. It is felt that business will be less interrupted if the task of cutting down the duty rates is quickly finished and the matter of adjustment to new conditions can be more speedily brought about.
 While MT Underwood favors hearing before the ways and means committee he is not disposed to let them run toe long, as business interests have already had ample opportunity to present theii views and much more time devoted to hearings will be wasted. In all proba- bility these hearings will be concluded in about three weeks after they begin An effort will be made to hear all per sons interested in certain schedules or the same day.

cratic colleagues that they can and VIII retalate after March 1. with the ap- pointees of President Wilson, if the dem- ocrats make war on raft's appointments now. So it looks like there might be a very pretty little row in the Senate over patronage. beginning in the closing days of the present administration and lasting indefinitely The republican majority in the Senate is small. but the democratic majority in the next Senate will be some what less. and if either side is disposed to give trouble 1t certainly has the pow CT to do so.
 It is charged that President Taft is sending appointments of postmasters to the Senate now whose commissions do not expire for several months as well as various sundry appointments to other coveted places. and this coupled with his now famous order issued last October when it was apparent, declares the dem- ocrats, that there was not a chance for his reelection, placing 36oo0 fourth-class postmasters in the civil service, has aroused the ire of the democrats in the Senate, and some of them are very frank in their expressions of hostility to such a programme

Bankhead Opposes Taft's Action

Senator Bankhead declares tsat there will not be a single republican confirmed if he can prevent it." and the senator rom Alabama is not alone in his oppc- stion. Senator Bankhead said he would vigorously oppose the confirmation of James B. Sloan" a recess appointee of President Taft's for United States dis. trict attorney for the southern district of Alabama, and he feels confident of success in his fight against Sloan.
 Senator Banllhead Is also ready to wage war on the Presidents order plac- ing the fourth-class postoffiees in the civil service. T think this order was in bad taste" said the senator. T believe that these offices should be given to democrats as a just reward to their faithfulness through all these years to the party. If we are denied the custo- mary offices that always go with vic tory at the polls there is no way for many -faithf,al- -denaaarats in the rank and rrfv-vy,-- ,--,,r.r,.v.,sr,v .as, the party has at last come into power"
 Senator Bankhead is the ranking dem ocrat on the important committee of postoffices and postroads and he occu- pies d powerful position of vantage in his fight against the Presidents appoint ments.
 Senator Johnston declares that he is opposed to all the recess appointments of the President" This statement from Senator Johnston, who is usually most conservative in his expressions, is taken as an indication that he will support Senator Bankhead in his open opposition to the confirmation of many of these appointments.

The government, through
Prince Disca1ea, replied that the
foreign office had ordered their
consul at Boston to see that Ettor
and Giovannitti had good coun-
sci and fair trial.
But this has not satisfied the
people. Enormous posters have
been scattered through the land,
calling on the people as a whole
to join in the general strike.
