Senator Thomas Charges
Congressional Union With
Trying to Elect Hughes
to the Presidency

Washington. August 21.-The Con-
gressional Union for Woman Suffrage
was charged with being interested
chiefly in restoring the republican
party to power by Senator Thomas of
Colorado, chairman of the woman suf-
frage committee, today on the floor of
the Senate.
The Colorado senator. who favors a
federal suffrage amendment, declared
that the union was engaged in raising
funds for the Hughes campaign and
had been instrumental in inducing the
nominee to declare in favor of the
amendment in opposition to the repub-
lican platform. Mr.. Hughes, he added.
had seized upon suffrage as an issue be-
cause the republican party had given
him no issue for his campaign.
Senator Borah. republican of Idaho.
who is opposed to the federal amend
ment. declared that Mr.. Hughes action
would not strengthen the republican

National Guard to Remain
On Border Until Danger is
Over, Says Secretary Baker

Washington August N.-The National
Guard will be retained on the Mexican
border until it can be withdrawn with
out again endangering American lives
and property. Secretary Baker SO de-
clared the administrations policy today
in answering letters from many parts
OF the cot.ntiy complaining that state
troops were being held in service after
the emergency for which they were
called out apparently had passed.
In general, the compliments, whose
names were withheld, alleged that bor-
der service was entailing financial loss
on militiamen and hardships on their
families.
By its presence on the border the Sec
rotary wrote to one, the guard is win
ming bloodless victories daily" He de-
clared that Americans residing along the
international line We're enjoying a peace
and security they could not know with
out the military force to protect them.
The department appreciates, Mr.. Baker
said in another letter, the fact that a
call for military service upon militia
organizations must inevitably present
cases of hardships.'

DEMOCRATS REVOLT
AND Immigration
BILL is TAKEN Up
Party Caucus Is Defied by
Ten Senators Who Vote
Solidly With Republic
ans on Measure

Washington, August 21.-An unexpected
democratic revolt in the Senate today
resulted in the immigration bill being
taken UP in defiance of the democratic
to displace the revenue bill as unfinished
business, an action which might indefi-
nitely prolong the session of Congress.
Ten democratic senators voted with the
solid republican minority to take UP the
immigration bill upon motion by Sena-
tor Smith of South Carolina, chairman
of the immigration committee. They
were Ashurst, Beckham. Chamberlain,
Culberson, Hardwick. Lane, Myers. Over
man. Smith, of South Carolina. and
Vardaman.
Debate began on the measure immed-
lately and proceeded until 2 o'clock wnen
the revenue bill automatically came be-
fore the Senate. Senator Smith then
moved to displace the revenue bill. pro-
vol1ing an all afternoon discussion which
will be resumed when the. Senate meets
tomorrow.
WILL DEFEAT LIMIT MOTION
Administration leaders said tonight that
they had enough votes to defeat the
Smith motion. Even sohe Of the revolt
ing democrat have declared their inten-
ton of voting against it. Should it pre-
vail the resulting fight over the literacy
test provision would upset all adjourn

GREAT QUESTION
Democratic Senators Who
Placed Stick in Cogs of

Are Undecided
by HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, August H.-(Special.) Ut
is mystery tonight as to whether OIL
not the ten democratic senators who
joined with republicans this morning and
by temporarily substituting the immigra.
ton bill for the revenue bill, played
havoc with the administrative programme
have been brought to see the error OF
their way
AS soon as the belligerents succeeded
in displacing the revenue bill conserva-
tive administration leaders pleaded with
them to abandon their project, and plead
ed with success.
Late in the afternoon, however Sena-
tor Stone considered the spokesman of
the administration, delivered a caustic
lecture to the nine democrats in question
with the result that there is again dis
content in camp.
The nine democrats known to be re-
sentful of the Stone "chastisement," con
ferred tonight without authorizing a
statement as to their plans. In the
situation. there is unfeigned interest be-
cause of the probability of success at
tending the effort of the nine senators
if they persist in their effort. Their sue
cess would disarrange completely the
the administrative programme and in
definitely postpone adjournment of Con-
gress.
Senators Bankhead and Underwood
voted against the successful effort to dis
place the revenue BILL
