The Democratic party and the admin
istration OF President Wilson has sustained
very serious blow in the detection OF
nine Democratic Senators who have bolt
ed the party caucus and allied themselves
with the standpat Republican Senators.
The measure known as the shipping bill,
which provides that the government shall
purchase such foreign merchant vessels
as it may be able 10 secure and operate
them in transporting our merchandise TO
foreign ports, has been before the Senate
some weeks. Under present conditions,
OF course, no ships flying the German
flag can sail the seas, as they would in
evitaby be captured by the English YES
sells under the British flag are almost IN
as great danger from the terrible German
SubmanneS-hence the scarcity OF mer-
chant vessels. The United States has
tremendous supplies OF grain and cotton
and other goods, besides vast quantities
OF manufactured articles, for which there
is European demand, but they remain
piled up on our whaTveS because Of lack
ofshipping facilities. To meet this emer-
gency, President Wilson and his advisers
formulated the shipping bill. Although
there was some difference OF opinion con-
corning the measure, the Democratic
Senators in caucus made It party affair.
The standpat Republicans opposed Il to
man, although several ProgTessiyes Ia
vored ii. In order to prevent the passage
Of the bill the Republicans inaugurated
fihouster, but this was being overcome
when suddenly nine Democrats made a
secret alliance with the Republicans and
deserted their party al the critical moment.
Their desertion was like bolt OF light
ming from clear sky, and the admins
tration and the loyal Democrats were ia
ken off their feet. The bill is still before
the Senate, but its passage is now very
uncertain. The deserving Democrats are
Bankhead, of Alabama; Camden, Ken
lucky; Clarke. Arkansas; Hard wick,
Georgia; Bryan, Florida; Hitchcock, Ne
braska; O'Gorman, New York; Smith,
Georgia; and Vardaman, Mississippi.
The opposition TO the measure comes
principally from the Stripping Trust OF
this country, which is reaping golden
harvest and naturally desires no opposi-
tion. This trust has put up its rates TO
unprecedented figures, having advanced
them as much as 300 per cent in some
cases.
