BULL MOOSE Faction
TO have NO SECRETS
Representatives, Led by Victor Muir.
dock, viii Hold Caucus
Open to Public.
CLOSED MEETINGS ARE SCORED

Announcement was made yesterday
that the Bull Moose conference to be
held here on April 9 will be open to the
press and the public. The decision OF
the Bull Moose to hold an open meet
ing was reached at conference In
which Representatives Murdoch of Kan
sas. Falconer OF Washington, and Hine-
baugh of Illinois participated. All
agreed that the political caucus behind
closed doors was bad In principle, and
that the innovation of an open confer
ence should be introduced by the Pro-
gressives.
Representative Falconer. who is a re-
cruit in the House, made this state
ment:
been to close the doors when either of
the old parties met for purposes Of or
ganization. The Progressives are,
think. unanimous in the belief that there
is nothing I'm the details of the organi-
zatiOn for effective legislative work that
calls for the closed door caucus. The
public Is interested in matters of or
ganization in Congress and is entitled
to know everything Of the methods OF
procedure in such organizations. The
one thing which more than any other
CAUSES tne general pubic 10 become
critical of men engaged in public serv-
ice is the disposition of those men to
exclude the public from their delibera-
tions In organization. and in cOnsidera-
tion of public questions. The Progress
sive party is willing to have all pub
licity possible given not only to the or
ganization work in the different States.
but to the details OF the organiza-
tion and legislative work here In
Washington during the sessions of Con-
gress. We have taken our stand on
questions OF vital interest to the public,
and we feel that in carrying out the
programme of the Progressive party we
can get much help and many vital sug-
gestions from the public
Representative Murdock said: II IN
dorse the idea of an open conference.
The new movement has nothing to con-
ceal. II has no advantage to gain by
secrecy. Everything shall be open and
aboveboard. The foundation stone
upon which the whole superstructure
OF special privilege, corruption. and
class government has been reared in this
country has been the secret caucus
Every politician knows this to be true
just as he knows that at the bottom
OF the whole system has been a con-
niving secrecy completely out of accord
with the genius OF a republican form
OF government. II is a wonder that
popular patience has endured the In
fanny so long. II is doomed"

FISCAL REFORM
ATNEXT SESSION
1t Seems Probable Now that
Currency Question May
Be Considered.
PRESIDENT FAV0RS IT
Underwood Wants Only Tariff Bill
Framed at Extra Session Be-
ginning April !.

There is now a probability that the
special session of Congress. which Presi-
dent Wilson has called for April Z. Will
be called upon to enact legislation look
ing to currency reform. Developments
yesterday established that it Is by no
means certain that the session will ter
inmate with the signing Of tariff re-
form bill by the President.
or course, the primary purpose Tor
which the special session was called is
TO revise the tariff. That was the first
Issue upon which the Democratic cam
paign was made and 1t is the first pledge
which President Wilson and the Demo-
cratic leaders of the Congress will recog-
nize as demanding fulfllment.
Throughout the campaign President
Wilson emphasized the importance of re-
forms in the currency system, and placed
their Importance as only second to that
Of tariff revision. He adheres to the be-
lief that the demand for this reform Is
so pressing that he will not be justified
In allowing it to go over any longer than
the successful revision OF the tariff re-
quires.
The President hopes that 1t may be
possible for currency legislation to BE-
passed at the special session without
In any way hindering the progress of the
tariff bill. He Is determined, however.
that no wires shall be crossed by having
Congress try to concentrate on too many
things at once: but he is equally deter.
mined that the second problem shall be
dealt with as soon as possible. The
President believes that the way is open
for Congress to take up currency legis-
lation should 1t find it practicable to do
$50 at the session this summer. He made
this possible when he drew the procla-
mation for the session without specify
| ing any reason for the call more definite
than that extraordinary circumstances
required IL.
| Chairman Carter Glass. Of the House
Committee on banking and Currency,
which will draft the currency reform
measure when the House IL ready TO con
slider il. has steadily urged upon the
| President the view that the need for
currency reform was SO immediate that
! It should be disposed of at the extra
! session Majority Leader Underwood has
: been equally consistent In urging the
opposite view that tariff alone should be
taken up.
| Recent developments which indicate
harmony betwe cen the House and Senate
on the tariff bill. drafted by the Ways
and Means Committee. have encouraged
