PROGRESSIVE TO VOTE
THH0USE REPUBLICANS
Representative SchaIl Makes Condi-
ton, However, Of Program of
Constructive Legislation.

Representative Thomas D. Schall, re-
sive ticket in Minnesota. has an
nounced he will vote with the repub-
licans in the next House If they con-
troll 1t, on condition the republicans
adopt constructive program of pro-
gressive legislation. The announce
ment is of great interest just now be-
cause of the coming republican caucus
and the fact that Mr.. Schall is one of
the half dozen members who are
looked on as holding the balance of
power in the next House.
Mr.. Schall also declared that if a
committee were appointed by the next
republican conference to canvass the
sentiment of House republicans and
make a report, he would be willing to
serve upon it, If it looked toward a
progressive program of legislation.
Such committee was proposed in the
last republican conference by Repre-
sentative Sydney Anderson of Mime
sofa, and 1t is believed that plan will
be adopted in the next conference. Mr..
Schalrs name has been mentioned as
a probable member of the committee.
serve, upon such committee" said
Mr.. Schall. IF it looks toward the
adoption of a constructive program of
progressive legislation by which the
republican party will abide and will
work for. I am a republican and want
to see the republican party in power.
But 1 want that party to be progress
sive I was elected by progressives in
Minnesota and l want to keep faith
with the people who elected me-"
Mr.. Schall said further that If the
republican party was not to be pro-
erraaciva a would rather ha inda-
pendent; that he did not propose to be
bound by caucus action that would
put him into a position where he
would be expected to support a legis-
lative program not in accordance with
his views.

There are about a dozen stars in this

NOT SURE OF FINISHING
LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM
Too Little Time at Present Session
for Presidents Measures, Dem
ocratic Senators Fear.

Democratic senators still were doubt
full today whether railroad legislation
and other administration measures
against which considerable opposition
has developed can be passed before ad-
5ournment. now only five weeks off, de-
spite the decision to hold longer Senate
sessions, from IL am. to 10 pm. daily,
beginning Thursday.
Tentative Program.
AS soon as the Indian appropriation
bill. now pending in the Seate, is dis
posed of the railroad bills may be
taken up, unless it is decided to await
House action on Representative Adam
sons new railroad bill. The corrupt
practices or mineral lands leasing
measures might be called up in that
case. and general sentiment toward
them determined.
Determination Of some republican
senators to force debate on President
Wilson's peace address also threatened
TO disarrange further the legislative
program.
President Wilson, 1t was said, is pre-
pared to insist on passage of railroad
legislation along the lines of his rec
concentrations.
