enCe Win the president today. Mr.. Glass
Ia badly overworked and his physician
and friends have compelled him to agree
to take q vacation when the tariff bill 10
passed.
President Makes Prediction.
In answer to questions today. the Presi-
dent said tho democrats Of the Senate
were for currency reform and for that
reason he had little hesitation In pre-
dieting such legislation. The President s
Information Is that Senator Hitchcock Of
Nebraska is the only democrat who is
likely to make trouble for the bill in the
final analysis, and efforts to change the
viewpoint Of the Nebraska senator will be
made. As for Senators O'Gorman and
Reed. the President and his democratic
allies In the Senate feel that they will
not be classed as insurrectionists and will
fall In line when they have made the
f1ghts they have in mind.
Senator Hitchcock is in a position
politically to fight the White House
II he so desires. although his friends
say that his opposition to the present
currency program is without personal
coloring. Nebraska gave her electoral
vote to Wilson in the last election. but
admittedly with the support OF many
thousands of republicans. Senator
Hitchcock is in the Senate from repub-
ican as well as democratic support.
prove his present independence. Mr..
Hitchcock has never expected to OBJ
tain much of the federal patronage in
his state and cares little for it He has
taken 1T for granted that Secretary
Bryan would make the recommenda-
tions that would be accepted as to
Nebraska appointments.
Wants No Hold-outs.
The President would. 1t is known. be
sorry to see even one hold-out in the
democratic ranks In the Senate on q
measure that had been approved by the
administration and democratic leaders. 1t
Is known also that the President Is i'm
mense1y pleased with the harmonious CO.
operation that exists between himself
and the democratic leaders and party In
Senate and House. When he entered
Office the predictions were numerous that
he would break with his party In Con-
gress in a short time. but the break
hasn't come, and the President feels the
confidence derived from successful CO.
operation between the legislative and
executive branches of the government.
He expects a continuation Of this har-
monious association on the currency and
in the future on important problems that
confront the party and the country.
On the subject of cotton futures In the
tariff bill the President Is willing that
sion regarding it as rather extraneous
to tariff law. He is committed. how
ever, to the passage of a law that Will
remove the cotton growers of the country
from the mercy of spectators.
"Color" Question Not Solved.
The President is holding back the set
Element Of number Of perplexing ques-
lions until the currency law has been
passed. Among these is whether recog
milton is to be given In federal appoint
ments to the colored race Influential
leaders Of that race are clamoring to
know the policy of the President as to
recognition by appointment to federal
Office.
The importantly for decision of
the question is growing. Representa-
tive George of New York, who has
many high,elass colorsd . men IN his
today on the subject The President
1t is understood, has been told that
Senator Vardaman and several other
southern senators will strongly OPP
named for Office. Having been quite
busy, the President has not bothered
to sound the Senate as to it's attitude,
but 1t Is quite probable. 1t was said
today. that a report will be made to
him in the near future as to what may
be expected to happen In the Senate
to nominations Of colored men. What
ever the report is the President Will
probably not place any more such
nominations before the Senate until
the currency program is carried out.
The Senate having rejected a colored
man for register of the Treasury, does
not necessarily mean that this attitude
will persist in all future nominations,
ject any question into the present situa-
ton that might bear upon the passage
of a currency bill or upon the amicaDie
understanding now existing between
White House and Congress

dent Wilson today about reports that the
