DEMOCRATS LOSE
GRIP ON SENATE
BY ELISHA HANSON.l

'.t l. - ! Eihoitfh IlHA>ooN'l
Washington, d. c., Feb. lS.---The
death of Senator Augustus Bacon Of
Georgia. emphasized the difficulty of
the administration in working with a
small democratic majority in the SEN
ate. Temporarily at least, the demo,
Gratis have only bare majority OF six
votes in the senate, and change OF
three votes would make a tie, while
change of four votes would be
enough to defeat an administration
measure.
The loss of Senator Bacon as a men,
Der of the foreign relations committee
has caused even greater danger to
the fultillment of the administrators
foreign policy. 1t cannot be said that
the situation is acute, but it is serious
enough to cause some uneasiness in
administration circles.
AS the opening Of the sixty-third
congress the democrats had f1fty-one
senators against fortyfour republicans
and one progressive. Two democrats
have died since the session began,
Senator Johnston of Alabama, and
Senator Bacon. The democrats how
ever have had one accession to their
ranks in Blair Lee, of Maryland, who
succeeded Senator Jackson, a republi-
can. Their present nominal strength
is fifty against forty-three republicans
and one progressive, but their actual
strength Is only forty-nine, because
| Senator Culberson of Texas is ill, and
has not been present for several
months, and the reports of his condi-
ton do not favor his being present at
| the present session at all.
| This leaves the democrats with a
working majority OF only Ave, rs the
combined strength Of the republicans
and progressive is forty-four, and a
change of three votes would be suf-
| fcient to give the republicans ma
jority. which even the vote of the vice
president could not break. Therefore,
if the administration should attempt
| to repeal the free tolls for American
ships provision in the Panama act, and
three democrats should vote against it,
which Is more than mere probability
the administration would be baked,
and the whole foreign policy of the adj
ministration might easily be put in
serious jeopardy.
The situation from an administration
standpoint Is even more serious with
reference to the foreign relations com.
mittee. Senator Stone Of Missouri is
the next in line for chairman of that
committee. and he is pronounced ad'
vocate Of Intervention in Mexico. Sen
ator Bacon has been upholding the
presidents hand in his Mexican policy
and has managed to keep the matter
SO we'll in hand that there has been
very little breaking. loose on the floor
of the senate But, the chairman OF
that committee has great influence
even if he is in the minority, as 1t
is believed Senator Stone and the In
terventionists are, and unless he fol
lows the course laid down by Senator
Bacon and sits on every attempt to get
the Mexican question UP in the senate
for open debate. President Wilson may
be seriously hampered in his efforts tc
maintain watching and waiting
policy towards Mexico.
