Mr.. Payne asserts that It is admitted
by every intelligent man that the pros

high water mark during the last year OF
the Taft administration. In view Of the
official statement Of the Treasury De

porous condition of the Treasury during
the last year"
The statement is inspired by the pres

H0KE SMITH LATEST
COUP D'ETAT VICTIM
Georgia Senator Eliminated
from the Race for Banking
and Currency Chairman.
CHANCES IN OWENS FAVOR
Even Democrats Fear His Sc
lection Because of His Record
South Fighting the
Neill Appointment.
from The Tribune Bureau.

Washington. March 1l-After the coup
a etat OF the Democratic caucus IN de-
feating Senator Bacon as President pro
tcmpore Of the Senate. the undoing OF the
Georgia delegation in the upper house
was practically completed to-day by the
elimination of Senator lioke Smith as a
candidate for the Craftsmanship OF the
now Committee on Banking and Currency.
The action Of the Committee on Commit
tees is not final. and there Is still pos
sibility that the new committee may no'
be created. but. to all appearances. the
aspirations of the junior Senator from
Georgia have been TO no purpose. and the
Craftsmanship lies between Senator Stone
and Senator owen. with the chances
favoring the latter.
The elimination OF Senator Smith is an
other indication OF the turmoil that Is
brewing within the ranks of the Demo
Gratis of the Senate. The defeat Of Sena-
tor Bacon Tor President pro tempore still
rankles He insists that he has been
shot from ambush" Senator Smith re-
ceived his rebuff more philosophically

which now prevails in the Senate.
The prospect that tie chairmanship OF

heusiOn. even by several Democrats and
his selection Is recognized AZ indicating
that the clement Of fitness has PLAYED no
part in the deliberations OF the Commit
tee on committees. Mr. owen has taken
Il place in the front rank Of the radicals.
