DEMOCRATS BID FOR
PROGRESS|VES' HELP
National Committee Seeks to
Make Alliance to Break
Illinois Deadlock.

The Democratic national committee ID
anxious to perpetuate the Progressive
party. This Is the admission Of a prom
inent committeeman today. 1t is evil
denced in the committee resolution to
use preparatory methods In settling the
Senatorial deadlock in Illinois. rather
than by summary action on the part of
the committee.
An alliance will be sought with the
Progressives, or enough Of the Pro-
gressive legislators. SO that the dead
lock over the election Of James Hamil-
ton Lewis and Charles Boeschenstein as
Senators may be broken. One hundred
and two votes are necessary. II the
Progressives can be lined up to cast a
few votes for these men the Democrats
will win.
Tfa national committeeman admitted
that the committee fears an alliance be-
tween the Republican and Progressive
parties. He says II would wipe out the
Progressive party and decrease chances
for Democratic success in the next elec-
tons.
After Big Fight.
The resolution In its final form passed
the national committee meeting only
after a strong fight.
Some of the committee were for
reading out OF the party" any Demo-
Boeschenstein In Illinois and Henry +.
Hollis in New Hampshire. Some
wanted also to send Tom Taggart and
other committeeman into Illinois in a
drastic campaign.
Chairman McCombs objected to such
summary methods. Finally the COM
mittee adopted a resolution. empower
ing Mr.. McCombs to take such meas
ures ''as he deemed advisable to brin.;
about the election of Democrats TO the
Illinois and New Hampshire senates.
Committeeman Boeschenstein, who is
candidate for the Illinois Senate. felt
that the actual intrusion OF the na-
.ional committeeman into the State
would precipitate row that woul
kill chances OF Democratic success IL.
believes that now the party will succeed
in electirg both himself and Mr.. Lewis
DR.. Coughlin of Massachusetts was on :
CT the strongest insurgents. He wanted
summary action. but yielded to the az
members.
Choose Vice Chairman.
Looking toward the possible retire
ment Of Chairman McCombs. IL Is
thought, the committee took action
which would permit the automatic Sc
lection of Vice Chairman Homer Cum
mings of Stanford. Conn.,. as chairman
in case of Mr.. McCombs' retirement or
death.
Secretary Davies. Assistant secretary
w. w. Wick. and Publicity Agent T. J..
Pence received votes OF thanks for their
parts in the recent campaign.
Chairman McCombs soon will ap-
point a committee to devise ways and
means for conducting the campaign
work for the next Congressional cam
paiKn. The committee plans to con-
tinue active efforts In combat against
the reorganization work now on in
the Progressive and Republican par
ties.

cepted an offer from the American Ex-

General relieves him. He has asked

Mr. Thomson is the one man in the

PICK PROGRESSNES
FOR POSTS OF HONOR
House Democrats Choose Only
Two Conservatives on I'm
portant Committee.

OF the utmost significance with re
spect to the organization of the Senate
and the course of legislation in this
Congress was the complexion of the
Democratic Committee on Committees
ss announced today by Senator Kern
Democratic leader.
The committee, which was submitted
to the Senate Democratic caucus and
ratified, is made up of seven progressive
Democrats and only two of the conser-
vative band. The committee. in addi-
ton to Senator Kern, who is chairman,
l. composed of Senators Martin OF Eir-
ginia, Clarke of Arkansas, Chamberlain
OF Oregon. Owen of Oklahoma. OGor-
man of New York, Smith of Georgia.
Lea of Tennessee and Thomas of Col
crado.
With the exception of Senators Mar
tin and Clarke. these men are affiliated
with the progressive Democratic wing
in the Senate. That this committee will
see that the committees are dominated
by the Bryan and Wilson elements IN
the party is hardly open to doubt. The
caucus ratified the selections for the
Committee on Committees.
Must Be Progressive.
Signs still point to choice of some pro-
gressive Democratic instead of Senator
Simmons for finance committee chair
man. Inasmuch as the low tariff men
have control of the aWys and Means
Committee in the House, as the result
of yesterdays House Democratic eau
GUS il looks as IL low tariff legislation
would have a strong chance OF enact
ment.
The Democratic caucus met at IL
o'clock and held long session. Choice
of officials Of the Senate went over un-
I'll tomorrow. One of the questions be-
fore the caucus was what proportion
of Democrats and of Republicans wouid
be on the committees.
In contrast to the action of the Demo-
Gratis in making UP their committee so
that the progressive Democrats con-
trolled, the Republicans made up a
committee completely controlled by the
old guard.
Eleven Members.
This consists of eleven members, as
follows: Senator Lodge. chairman, and
Senators Warren, Nelson, Penrose,
Smoot, La Toilette. Brandegee. Smith
of Michigan. Crawford. Jones, and FAN.
Senator's La Foollette and Crawford
are the only progressive Republicans In
the lot
The Republican Committee on Com
mittees met this morning in Senator
Lodges room, and began consideration
of the makeup of the Republican side
Of the committees. A committee con-
sisting of Senator'S Nelson and smoot
was name dto wait on the Democratic
caucus and consult about the proper
ton Of Democrats and Republicans on
the committees and other matters
1t Is the intention to make up all the
Senate committees and be organized for
business at the outset OF the special
session.

which the number of justices in the

creased. The court is now made up OF
eight justices and a chief justice
II is believed by a number OF Demo-
Gratis that II the number of Justices was
increased the work of the court could
be done more quickly. and bills to that
effect will be introduced into the Sem
