WASHINGTON. March 27.-The
fight over the Panama tolls question
has bred a spirit of factionalism in
the Democratic party which has
filled the leaders with alarm.
The prophesy was made tonight
that II Woodrow Wilson ignores the
one term principle in the Baltimore
platform he will have a hard fight
on his hands for denomination. on
the other hand administration spokes-
men declare that il the Democrats
win the next house Champ Clark, Of
Missouri. is likely TO forfeit the
speakership as penalty for showing
his teeth to the administration over
the tolls question. They believe the
administration forces will bend their
energies from this time on TO defeat
Mr. Clark. Anger showed in the
leaders of the forces OF the anti-tols
ranks.
For a year or two the Democrats
have given a splendid exhibition of
solidarity. AT times some have
shown restlessness. but on all such
occasions they have been held IN
check by the influence of Leader In
derwoed and Mr.. CLARK.
On the tolls question Underwood
and Clark were today followed off
