Martin Named Leader

Washington, March 6.-Sena'
tor Martin, of Virginia, will b.
the Democratic leader of the
United States Senate during the
second administration of Presi.
dent Wilson. This action was
taken at 4 caucus meeting this
morning. Senator Martin was
also elected chairman of the
caucus.
Senator Salisbury, of Della
ware, will succeed himself as
president pro tenn of the Senate
and Senator James Hamilton
Lewis, of Illinois, was reelected
Democratic whip.
There was no opposition to
Senator Martin. During the last
four years the policies of Wood
row Wilson have had no more
consistent or vigorous supporter
than the senior Senator from
Virginia.
Four years ago there was bit.
ter opposition to Martin on the
part of the progressive or radi-
cal Democrats, many of whom
got their cue from William Jen.
nings Bryan. The outcome of
1t was that Martin lost out to
Senator Kern after a hard CON.
test.
BY some persons, the come
back" of Senator Martin will be
regarded as a partial victory for
the conservative or Old Guard
wing of the party.
