senate judiciary Committee VIII
Take II Tomorrow.

WASH NGToN, May l5.--The senate
Judiciary Committee will take a vote on
Wednesday on the question Of reporting
the nomination of Louis ID. Brandcis to
he a member OF the Supreme Court. 1t
Is understood that the nomination prob
ably will be reported without recommen-
dation. Then will follow a fight on the
floor of the Senate
At the committee meeting to-day Il
was agreed that "A fair exchange Of
views on the case should follow, but that
tho statements should he held secret and
that Senators should pledge themselves
not to talk outside. As a result the
impression got abroad that something
unusual had happened,
This whetted the curiosity until in
selr-defence members of the committee
had to explain that the unusual rcti-
cence was due to the "gentleran's agrec-
ment" not to talk about the meeting or
what individual Senators had said ON
the merits of the Brandcis case
Some of the committee are opposed To
n report without recommendation, say
ing it looks like an effort to cvade the
issue. hut II seemed probable to-day that
the committee would not make any

TARIFF rs IN BALANCE
COlOncl's Backcrs Point to I'M
portance Of Ending Fights
in Close States.

One Of the arguments which the Pro-
gressive leaders are preparing 10 use at
Chicago IN their efforts TO induce the
Republicans to nominate Col. Roosevelt
for the Presidency is that without him
ae their standard bearer the Republicans
Will be unable TO gain such control Of the
United States senate as will insure a
law and the enactment OF a measure that
will accord with the doctrine of rrotec-
tIon for home Industries
There are thlrty-three Senators whose
terms will expire on March 2. 1917.
and whose successors will be elected next
November. OF these eighteen are Demo-
Gratis and fifteen are Republicans. The
Democrats have now majority of six
teen In the Senate. the division being
5s TO 20. The problem before the Re-
publ!cans is. therefore. 10 retain all Of
these fifteen seats which they now hold
and to gain at least eight of those now
held by Democrats.
Point 20 Way to Control.
This would insure control OF the
Senate only by the vote OF the Vice
President, and the Progressives stand
ready TO show the Republicans not only
that this is not enough. because. for In
stance Senator la Toilette voted FOR the
present tariff bill. but also that more
than safe majority can be secured II
the I.orer person = at the head OF the
general ticket.
The eighteen Democrats whose terms
are about To- expire are A-iurst OF Ar
.ona, Bryan OF Florida. Chiffon OF West
virginia, cu.bcrson of Texas. iiitChCc y.
OF Nebraska. Johnson of Maine. Kern
Of Indiana, TdgEart OF Indiana. Lea Of
Tennessee. Lee of Maryland MARITIME -
NeW Jersey Myers OF Montana. O'C;or-
man of N.w York. plttman of Nevada
Pomerene of OHIO. Reed OF Missouri.
swanson of virginia and Williams Of
Mississippi
1t IL conceded by the Proeressves
who are expressing such anxiety FOR
the Republican majority In the Senate
. that the Successors of four Of these
senator's Will most certainly be Demo-
ctats. the :our being Bryan OF Florida
Calherson Of Texas. swanson OF Vir-
snia and Wlliams OF Mississippi They
figure also that Lea OF Tennessee and
