litical activities for the year 1912 by
completing the series of conferences
today he planned soon after election,
with leaders of the democratic party.
The president elect had a long talk
with Oscar w. Underwood, leader OF
the house, discussing principally plans
for tariff revision, but nothing definite
came from either man after the con
ference to indicate what particular
schedules would be taken up. Gov
ernor Wilson said he merely had asked
and obtained from Mr. Underwood
what he sought from William Jennings
Bryan and Speaker Clark with whom
he previously had conferred-his views
about the personnel of the administra
tion and legislative policies No con-
clusions on these questions were
reached, according to the president
elect
Mr.. Wilson was asked if a date was
decided upon for the extra session.
I'VE took that up only casually,
was the reply. Mr.. Underwood
thought as We all think, that the ear
lier it is done, the better"
The governor said he might decide
soon on just what date the extra ses,
sion should begin; he would not make
the announcement until after he hat
been inaugurated.
After the conference, Mr.. Underwood
! was asked whether there would be any
| factional troubles in the house ant
whether in view of Mr. Bryan's oppo.
sition to him early last year, any dis
sension was expected.
There won't be any trouble" h
said. you remember the woole,
| schedule when there was only one vot
against Newell, that perhaps Nigh
represent what factional difference
there are. The friends of Mr.. Bryan
l should say. are very likely to be tn
friends of President Wilson"
Mr.. Underwood said he expecte'
the tariff to be thoroughly consid
cred from top to bottom
Every schedule will be taken u
| separately" he added. 'Then we ca
put in an enacting clause at the top Q
each schedule and put that throug
separately, or we can put the Who'll
| thing through the form of one bill
That will be a matter of choice, how

In an editorial in the Commoner
w. J. Bryan says:
"The democratic party is going
to have another struggle in both
senate and house over committee

ened with the blight of seniority;
that is, it will be asked to put the
ambitions and interests of individ-
uals above the welfare of the party.
The progressive democrats will
now be in the majority in the SEN
ate caucus. viii they allow a re-
dictionary minority to man the ship?
Will they allow length of service
to outweigh sympathy with the

aim to keep the currency question the

he had already discussed with Chair

providing for four regional reserve
banks instead OF twelve as in the
