Leaning Toward a Caucus

House leaders have about become recon-
ciled TO the thought OF a currency eau
Gus. At first IL was said that there would
be no caucus, as currency should be
treated in a "non-partisan' manner
is apparent, however that a unanimous
report from the Democrats OF the Bank
ing and Currency Committee is impos-
sible, and in fact there is doubt that
the administration bill can be reported at
all from the full committee.

majority OF a mere committee, and the
bin will have 10 be thrown into the eau

pected motion 70 send the bill 70 caucus
forthwith was made with the approval
OF the White House. Mr.. Wingo. who had
been training with the insurgents In the

with the President and proposed 10 end
the discussion. although a half dozen
amendments were pending. The Wingo
motion was tabled and so the Presidents
initial attempt 10 expedite matters
failed.

From The Tribune Bureau

Washington, July T.-Unless apprecisole
headway is made on the currency bill
when the Democrats OF the House Bank
ing and Currency Committee resume their
conferences tomorrow afternoon, the
prospects are that the measure Will be
thrown into the party caucus at the In
sistence Of the President. The bill was
referred TO the House committee month
ago yesterday, and IL has since been the
subject of constant wrangling
The President is in a dilemma to-day
regarding the currency situation, which
would receive more attention from him

Wilson insists that the bill be thrown
into the caucus without further discus

longer the contentious Democrats Will
manhandle the administration bill.

SHORT ONE REPRESENTATlV

In what way the MAYOR OF Fair

many others OF this camp hope to
fill the vacancy In the Terri oriai
Legislature is puzzlins On Satur-
day they sent a long telegram 10
Governor Clark requesting that h"
make some provision whereby the
place might be filled before the
coming session
We may be wrong but il seems 10
us that in the home rule bill which
was passed by congress there is a
provision whereby vacancies in the
legislature may be filled. Cover.
nor Clark is not ear. and neither
he nor any other individual can
change an act of congress. There
was provision made for just such
an emergency and that provision can
be used right here in the present
case. True we may be short a rep
resentative in the first session of
the legislature, but there is another
session coming at which time wo
can be fully represented.
This district may suffer, although
we think that the members from tho
other divisions are broad minded
enough to give us justice. but even
if we do suffer it is no ones fault
