by, Prudential Life.

+ Incidents and epochs in the history OF
the Prudential Life Insurance Company
were touched on last night at the an
nual dinner given by the company to
the Washington staff, at the New Eb-
bitt. Among the most Interesting OF
these was the fact that once the death
OF an aged woman in New .ersey, who
was desperately iii. would have ruined
the company. Another interesting fact
was that In the last year the compare
son Of the wages received in New York
shows that an insurance agent makes
$3.50 a week, which is more than Sc
above the average wages of employees of
any other business.

Der Of letters from officials of the
company congratulating the local stan
on its work for the past year, and
Urging that they renew their efforts for
the coming year. Addresses were made

concerned the age Of miracles is past.

SENATE DEMOCRATS
! WILL HAVE CONTROL
BY SMALL MARGIN
With Forty-eight Elected, Have
No Fear Of Losing Upper
Hand Through DeadIocks.

Senate Democrats feel they are nov
out Of the woods on the question of
control Of the Senate after March 1
|IThe margin of control. In any event
will be so close as to be unsatisfactory
and to keep the Democratic leaders In
perpetual hot water. Still, Democratic
organization of the Senate Il assured,
and this Ii Of prime importance.
The Democrats have forty-eight Sem
ators and the Republicans and Pro-
gressive party men forty-two. as the
result Of recent elections. Six are yet
to be chosen. One each Is to be elected
in Delaware, New Hampshire, West
Virginia and wyoming, and two In III
nois.
Delaware will elect a Democrat and
the Democrats are hopeful of getting
one Senator from Illinois. This would
bring the Democrats up to fifty out Of
a total OF ninety-six.
Deadloeks Are Tight.
Deadlocks in New Hampshire and
West virginia are so tight that II Is not
certain they can be broken. A deadlock
in any one State viii reduce the total
In the Senate to ninety-five and forty
eight Is a majority of that number So
the effect OF a deadlock will be to help
the Democrats. Besides. In case of a
tie. Vice President Marshall would
throw in his vote with the Democrats
and thus tip the scales their way.
One effect of the closeness of the
Senate situation will be to compel Dem
ocratic Senators to attend the sessions
of the Senate. Otherwise. the Republi-
cans may put one over" on them.
Twenty New Faces.
The Senate is certain Of at least
twenty new faces and there will prob
ably be more than that. Senator War
rem will probably be returned from
Wyoming.
The new men include John F. Sha-
froth of Colorado. JAMES II. Brady of
Idaho, W. ". Thompson Of Kansas,
Ollie NJ James of Kentucky, Joseph E.

WILSON'S POLICIES
CAUSE UNEAS|NESS
AMONG DEMOCRATS
Senators Lie Awake at Nights
in Attempts to Foretell What
New Executive Will Do.

Some of the Senate Democrats who
have gone of late, on pilgrimages to
Trenton, have been telling their col
leagues just what sort Of treatment the
new President is going to mete out to
the various brands of Democrats in
Congress whom he win encounter daily
| after March 4.
The question much discussed Is
whether Mr.. Wilson will hobnob and
affiliate with the progressive Democrats
and hold the conservatives aloof. pick
his advisers among the conservatives
In House and Senate, or treat all alike.
Tie President-elect has already let IL
be known he will picR his Cabinet from
amonh the progressive Democrats and
that wants the men about him on
who he will rely for counsel to be
progressive Democrats. But his re-
marks did not apply to his relations to
Democrats in Congress and that is what
is making the statesmen who want to
stand well at the White House lie
awake nights.
To Wipe Slate.
1t is asserted by some of the Sena-
tors that M4. Wilson plans to wipe the
slate March 4 and start on an even
basis with all the Democrats in Con-
gress. That is, he will start on the
presumption that the Democrats in Con-
gress are going to stand by the policies
which he advocates. Until he finds
members are fighting those policies, he
will not label them and card index
them.
But when he advocates what he es-
teens % BE- progressive legislation, de-
mandd b. the country. and iinds that
certain Democratic reactonarfes get IN
its way and seek to block IT, then ne
Will dedDitely stamp such opponents OF
his policies as reactionar1es.
Just how much trouble those gentle
men will thereafter experience at his
hands depends on Just how strong
character as President Mr.. Wilson will
prove to be.
Tariff May Show.
1t is said. moreover, that Mr.. Wilson
expects 1t will be clearly developed in
the tariff session. In the consideration
of tariff and such other questions as
come up then, about how the lines are
lying in Congress, especially among the
Democrats.
For weeks and months. Democrats
who are deep-graven as reactionaries.
have been insisting they would be loyal
to the new Administration and get in
behind any progressive legislation he
might propose.
1t Is understood Mr.. Wilson will adopt
the attitude of the gentleman from Mis-
souri, as to this, and insist on being
shown, but at the same time that he is
willing to give every Democrat in Con-
gress a chance TO prove that he means
the things to which he processes.
