Republicans Foment Trouble

Dozens OF stories are circulated weekly
over division in the ranks of the demo-
Gratis. All during the short session be-
ginning last December there was not
week passed but what all kinds of rumors
of splits and disagreements among the
leaders We're rife. While the tariff bill
was being framed the republican news
papers were filled every day with absolute
inside information that the committee and
Underwood were at outs and that the
chairman of the ways and means was be-
ingconsistently sat upon by the radical
members of the committee. and in spite
of all this with whatever differences there
were, If any, settled behind the closed
doors of the ways and means committee
room the tariff bill finally emerged
therefrom backed unanimously by the
ways and means committee all disagree
ments at an end and all united In sup
port of a common cause. If the COM
mittee session had been open with the
papers publishing daily the differences,
and with partisans taking sides, there
never could have been any unanimlty of
action in the framing of tariff bill,
What holds good with the ways and

Ing upon the bill itself With an open
caucus individuality would get encour-

this way the party could never get to-

Open Meetings Would Simp-

Use of Republicans
WILSON AND BRYAN
WANTED THEM OPEN
Members Who Favor Open Caucuses
Are Usually Those Who Have
No Hope of Having Their
Views Adopted
BY C. E. STEWART

Washington April 12,--(-Special.)-T
democrats OF the House failed to go or
record as agreeing with President Will
son on the question of open caucuses. The
President believes In an open caucus. The
majority of the members of the House dc
not.
Chairman of the caucus, Representative
A. Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvania,
brought on a lively and an animated dis
ousson when he made the proposition that
the party conform to the views of the
President and conduct their caucus In the
open. Representative Underwood immedi-
ately objected. In the debate that fol-
lowed and the result OF the vote, Mr.. I'm
derwoods leadership was again clearly es-
tablishsd.
In theory the open caucus might be the
thing. Those who favor it bring forward
the argument that they are opposed TO
star chamber" proceedings, and they
are willing to let the whole world hear
what they have TO say. They are usually
the fellows that fail to get what they
want in the caucus, and have pet griev-
ance of some character. This, of course.
cannot be said of the President or secre-
teIy of state Bryan, who both favor the
open caucus probably for reasons of their
own, but it can be said of many gentlemen
in the House of Representatives.
Republican Aid Society
In practice, however, the open caucus
would have many drawbacks AS J.
Thomas Hehn expressed it, it would not
be democratic caucus at all, but ii could
be more properly called the Republican
Aid society," In the caucus on the tariff
bill, for instance. the democrats can
among themselves fight out their differ
ences, and are not placing club into the
hands of their political opponents to beat
them over the head with. Only for the
fact that the President and Secretary Of
State Bryan beth are known to favor an
open caucus would the question have been
considered at all, or when it was consid-
cred have received as many votes as it
did Even then it was defeated about two
TO one.
The present democratic caucus may
last several days The tariff, which Han
cock declared to be local issue, is to be
reduced to party measure. To do so
will oblge several democratic members TO
maize some sacrifices, and in many cases
it is going to require extreme measures to
get them into that frame of mind, and
there will be heated argument and at
times open rebellion. To have an open
caucus all these things would as matter
of course be eagerly seized upon and
greatly exaggerated by the republicans
and the republican press.
