PROCRESSIvES
NOW CONTROL
The Democratic Senate.

Ever since the election OF
Woodrow Wilson, a contest has
been going on among the Demo
Gratis in the Senate for the control
of ITS policies. The progressive
Deinocrates whose number will be
increased by those to be chosen
from various states this month
have now gained control of the
Democratic caucus.
Hereafter instead Of assigning
the Democratic members to the va
rious Senate committees by the
chairman of the caucus they wilt
te chosen by "COmmittee on
Committees" go that lone man
power" will no longer prevail, but
the same method as was adopted
by the Democratic House Will be
the rule. The progressives have
had the mnfaIte,ing support OF
President elect Wilson and this
has enabled them to triumph over
the leadership Of the Conserve
tlyes. Senator HOke Smith, OF
Ga TbOs. p (}ore, the blind Sem
ator from Okla, Luke Leu, OF
Tenn aud Senator Stone OF Miss
ouri. and Senator POmerene OF
Ohio have been active partlcl-
pants in this fight fnr wrestling
the Senate from the hands OF the
non progressives.
