reckless drivers should have their IL
censes taken away from them. But am
also against the farmer who believes he

Senator James p. Clarke Of Arkansas
was today chosen as the democratic can
didate for president pro tine. of the
Senate by the democratic caucus Of
senators. AS the democrats have a ma
jority in the Senate, his selection today
amounts to an election to Office.
His election came as a surprise to
many. 1t was believed that Senator
Bacon OF Georgia would receive the
support Of his democratic colleagues
for president pro tenn.
The vote, however, was twenty seven
for Clarke and fourteen for Bacon.
Senator Clarke was nominated by Sem
ator O'Gorman of New York. and Sem
ator Bacon was nominated by Senator
Hoke Smith OF Georgia.
The fact that Senator Bacon, as rank
ing democratic member of the commit
tee is slated to become chairman of the
powerful foreign relations committee
of the Senate, is believed to have mill
tated against him.

The candidates for the. Office of secre.
tary Of the Senate are Joseph r. Wilson
brother Of President Wilson; James NJ
Baker Of South Carolina. Robert M
Gates. newspaper correspondent, and Johr
w. Keller, former commissioner Of char.
tiles OF New York city, who has the back
ing Of Senator OGorman. Mr.. Keller, Il
Is said, may be switched to the race foi
sergeant-at-arms.
Among the candidates for sergeant-at.
arms are former Sergeant-at-Arms OF the
Senate Richard Bright. John l. Martin
Of Missouri, sergeant-at-arnns OF the demo.
cratic national committee; Lee Crandal
Of Colorado and Char.es r. Higgins OF
Stone and Reed OF Missouri
For several hours yesterday the demo-
Gratis argued behind closed doors over
the minor problems connected with their
control Of the smaller branch Of Con-
gress. The routing OF republicans from
their commodious committee rooms, the
change of employees connected with the
Senate and the selection of new Senate
officers had more important part In
the days discussion than the broader
questions of committee assignments and
legislative policies.
All questions of Senate patronage were
referred to q special committee, consist
ing of Senators Overman, Shively, john
son, Hitchcock and Williams.
1t is anticipated that the democratic
plans for naming committees will not be
completed for some time. The active
leaders OF the progressiyaAsorccs are in
sistent that the places on the important
committees shall be distributed evenly
among all democrats, and the work Of
organization is to be pursued slowly.
