ment was made today of two impor-
tant conferences which President-e elect
Wilson will have tomorrow. Senator
Hoke Smith, of Georgia, and Senator
Gore, of Oklahoma, progressive Demo-
Gratis, will be here to talk over men
and politics" with the governor.
Both senators have been conspicu-
ously active in the movement to reor-
game the method of committee assign
ments in the senate and the fight to
break down the seniority rule has been
chiefly led by them in person.
Both were personal advisors of Mr..
Wilson from early in the pre-c convention
campaign, and from them he probably
will get opinions on possible cabinet
material as we'll as legislative poll
cies.
The fact that Senators Smith and
Gore have been invited to discuss the
situation with the president ELECT gem
orally is accepted to mean that he Is
willing TO hear, extensively, at least
whether he'finally commends or no, the
proposed reorganization plan of the SEN
ate, regardless of the ancient doctrine
of seniority of service.

Mr.. Bryan. after a recent talk with

paper a scathing attack on the seniority
system in congress, and Senator's Smith
and Gore have ardently championed the

1t is an open secret that Mr.. Bryan
is bitterly hostile to Senator Martin, Of
Virginia. as senate leader and to Sena-
tor Simmons, of North Carolina, who,
under the seniority rule unquestiona-
bly, would become chairman Of the great
committee on finance in the new con-
gress.
If the senate. therefore, is reorgan-
lied without regard to seniority of
service, both Martin and Simmons will
have to take back seats. The infer
ence is that Senators Smith and Gore
are backing Mr. Bryan in this, and that
they will say as much to President
