May Mean Saylng-That the con-
domination which Gov. Hughes has
visited upon the administration for
creating useless commissions to make
places for deserving Democrats" may
be productive of good even before
March 4th, is Indicated by the report
from Washington that certain of the
Democratic leaders have initiated a
movement to cut the salaries of all
members of special commissions to
$1,000. Certain of the Democratic
leaders predict the reduction of the
salaries of the members of the Inter-
state Commerce and the Federal Trade
commissions, the Federal Reserve
Board, the Farm Loans Board and the
prospective tariff commission to 81
500, in conformity with the pay OF
members of the proposed Shipping
Commission. Republicans are very
sceptical. however, that any such step
will be taken unless President Wilson

Wilson Losing Grip-As seen from
afar, President Wilson appears to be
losing, to some extent at least, the
grip he has had on Congress. With
the vast patronage at his disposal and
Secretary McAdoo's reputation for
never failing to get even with a politi-
clan who opposes either the President
or himself, Mr.. Wilson has been able
to dictate absolutely to Congress
heretofore. But as if they foresaw his
defeat in November, certain Demo-
cratic Senator'S are now leading a
revolt. President Wilson, after veto
Ing the immigration bill. forbade its
reconsideration as he considered IL
politically inexpedient to agitate the
subject further on the eve of the Pres
idential election. Accordingly the
Democratic caucus of the Senate met
and voted to lay the bill aside until
after the election. Now, however, ten
Democrats have bolted the caucus and
voted to take up and repass the bill
The loyal Democratic Senators are
still trying to carry out Mr.. Wilson's
orders and may prove successful, as
they have authority to make generous
promises of patronage to those who

House. and to make dire threats of
executive wrath to those who remain
