CONGRESS MAY BE !
TASK FOR WILSON
National Legislators Hard to
Manage.
WORSE THAN STATE BODY.

cleveiand's Administration 10 Example.
Majority In Each House Was Against
That. President-New Executive May
Have to Depend on Progressives Of
Other Side to Aid Him.
BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.
Washington. March 5.-[Special.1-
President Wilson may not realize that
a national congress is much more diff
ficult to manage than state legisla-
ture. but such is the fact. The new
president may not realize that party
discipline does not sit well on Demo
crafts, but he need only look back to
the last Democratic administration to
find that Grover Cleveland found that
q majority of his party in each house
were inclined to be against him.
OF course conditions now are much
different. The president represents
progressive spirit which prevails
throughout the country and which
most members of both houses belong
ing to his party profess to follow.
Consequently there may not be any
rupture. and the policies of the pres1-
dent may receive Endorsement.
May Rely on Prosressives.
Just us President Cleveland relied
upon Republicans to pass his silver re-
peal bill. President Wilson may rely
on Republicans Of progressive tenden-
cies to sustain most of his progressive
policies. There may be little break
here and there.
For instance. I do not expect to see
the men from the wheat producing
states of the northwest falling over
themselves in favor Of the proposed
reduction of duty on agricultural prod
ucts. but the tariff is but small mat
ter among the very many which Pres
ident Wilson will try to have enacted
during the early years of his admins
tration.
Learning Their Way.
For a week before the last congress
ended the new senators and new men,
bers of the house came to Washington
to learn their way. not only about the
corridors and byways Of the capitol.
but more particularly about the ways
Of doing things in congress. These
new members wait " We useful AZ 'no

Georgia Economists.
Congressman Roddenbery and Con-
gresham Tribble, both of Georgia,
made records during the closing hours
of congress as economiSts-that is.
they fought appropriation bills which
were passed. In the senate HOke
Smith took hand in the economy
game and seemed to do pretty effec-
tive work. more particularly in pruning
the public building bill. And. even so.
