SENATORS OPPOSED
To PARTY CAUCUS
THOSE FIGHTING CONFIRMATION
OF THOMAS ID. JONES MIGHT
NOT ATTEND.

Washington on, July 20.--Any effort on
the part of administration leaders to
force a party caucus in the senate on
the nomination of Thomas u. Jones,
Of Chicago will meet with strong OPP
position on the part of democratic
senators who are opposing the con-
firlnation of MIR. Jones.
Senator Reed. of Missouri, one of
the democrats who has come out
strongly AGAINST MIR. Jones because
he is a director of the harvester
trust" said yesterday that he would
not go into such a caucus.
The considerat ton of this nominal
ton is not a party matter, properly"
said Senator Reed, and no attempt
should be made to make Il so. ! do

rebel against my party, for am not"
Ia The meantime the administration
is continuing its canvass of the senate
in support of Mr.. Jones. Telephone
wires between the White House and
the capitol and between the offices Of
cabinet officers and senators are being
kept hot much of the time.
While it is fumored that one or two
Of the democrats who have been OPP
posing Mr.. Jones confirmation have
been brought back to the reservation,
not much progress has been made by
the administration workers.
The appointment Of AIR. Jones is
held by some of the senators to have
been the worst move the president
could have made, from political
standpoint The intense feeling
against the harvester trust" through
out the agricultural States makes it
almost impossible for senators from
those localities to vote fer a director
of that corporation who has been
named one of the defendants in suit
brought against the trust by the
United States.

deaVprlng to enact laws STRENGTHENING

quest OF the president, and Vet he has
