II the ehairmanship Of the Ways and
Means Committee.
Mr.. Wilson's friends look upon MT
Underwood as the intellectual giant OF
the House, they believe him to be
great organizer and they took TO him az
the one man who can hold the Demo-
opa&s together when Mr.. Wilson starts
N TO revise ss,e tariff and to carry out
other parts Of his programme.
Some of the Democratic leaders make
no secret Of the fact that they expect
all kinds Of trouble IN the lower house
of Congress when the tariff is taken
np, and for this reason Mr.. Under
woods retention as floor leader Us
looked upon as necessary for the sue
cess Of the new administration.
Although the news dispatches from
Princeton report that Mr.. Wilson re-
fuses TO break his silence so far as 4
special session Is concerned, there is a
feeling among his close friends that he
has no alternative but TO call Congress
together just as soon as ne can.
As one of them expressed it, The
people want action. When they elected
Mr., Wilson as President they believed
they were going to get action, and 1t
will be up to the new President 70 give
II 20 them"
Most of the President elects friends
profess the belief that there is not the
slightest doubt that special session
win be called. They point out Mr. VII
sons published announcement that he
Is going to read and hear what promi-
nent Democrats have to say about a
special session, and they assert that
when he does finally sift the various
views be WIN find that the men in whom
he has the most confidence not alone
favor, but actually insist on a special
session OF Congress at once to tackle
the tariff.

RULE RUINED SOCIALISTS
Party Weakens in Milwaukee
After Controlling City.

Milwaukee, Nov. l0.-Soctalism has
reached climax In Milwaukee and is
now dropping backward, II is thought by
political observers. who base their opin-
ion on the defeat Of Victor l.. Berger.
the lone Socialist membsr OF Congress,
and OF every Socialist officeholder in Mil
waukse County
The Socialist vote last Tuesday showed
n great falling on over the spring olec-
ton figures, and although there was a
gain in the state Milwaukee Socialists
actually lost ground In the state the
Socialist vote win total about 10000, run
ming sven with that for Roosevelt. Four
years ago IL was only half that nsure.
and the gain Ia the more significant be-
cause the total vote of the state this
year shows a falling on Of more than
100. 900 over the complete figures OF 1908.
In Milwaukee, however, the red flag
movement appears 20 be waning, and II
can be said 10 have accomplished only
one thing.-the slinina ton here OF psrti-
san politics in municipal affairs The
Socialists were beaten In the city cleo
ton last spring by a fusion Of Demo
when county officers were elected, the
same fusion accomplished the same re.
suits.
Apparently all that was needed to
cripple Socialism in Milwaukee was the
opportunity to control the administra-
ton. with that control the Socialists
failed 80 emphaucally In their projects
OF municipal ownership of utilities and
other vague promises OF great things 70
be accomplished that their tenure OF OF
Ace was only a single term.
Berger was defeated by more than 900
votes. This was In the face OF the fact
that a rsdistrictlng OF his Congress dis
trict took from him the country pre-
cincts OF Waukesha County. where go
cialists are unknown. and gave him In
stead two city wards, the strongest 30
cislist precincts In the city. The loss In
the total Socialist vote over the spring
election was $50 votes. uaquestion-
ably many OF the $4,000, votes cast for
the Socialists were. By old party voters
who were dissatisfied with the candi-
dates nerned under the fusion plan.

II take it for granted that Congress VIII
