As the result of their surprise this

leaders favorable to senator Fall, who
are not members Of either house. arc

answer. Il don't Know They were
forced to a showdown today, which
they did not want to come just at this
time.
None Of them know what they are
going to do. 4 few OF the FaIl leaders
know what they are going 10 try 70
do. but the rank and file are still
ignorant Of their plans.
The republicans Of both houses
have been summoned to caucus to-
morrow night at O'Clock In the SUE

Ipccted that then medicine VIII be

reported to have said.
"There's thirty three Of MS togeth-

What the lcadcr said is not on rec

The democrats are saving little. but
are saving wood. 1t Is understood they
are planning to produce their candl-
date at the psychological moment
The Fall faction seems somewhat ex-
ercised over the fact that there is no
one actually In the field for the honor
except Senator Fall. SO far as they can
ascertain. This appears to have them
a little worried The democrats think
that when they get ready to name a
man they will name one who VIII IN
questionably he elected. and they de-
clare positively that they are going
to enter a candidate IN the race.
The assertion that the democratic
party Is to have d candidate comes
from a source. the authority OF which
cannot be questioned. but there is no
bnt whether the candidate will be a
democrat or compromise man from
one OF the other two parties. Most Of
the democrats would vote fof nearly
anyone who could produce fourteen
votes against Fall and Il they have
candidate actually from their own
party they will he enthusiastic IN his
behalf
Regarding this afternoons skirm-
ish between the Fall and antl-Fall
forces. It seems that the Fall adher-
ents were forced into battle while they
were yet undecided whether 10 adj |

has been predicted several times. NJ
Senator Fan has not enough votes

he has-to secure his election. II is
argued that il IL bad policy for him |
to take any stand that win cause d. +
