however, that considerable percent

heads OF ia senior officers and other
promotions in the staff corps have
been attempted. The consensus OF
opinion in the navy Is that this action
will not stand legal fire.
The Naval Affairs Committee will
take up the nomination early this
week, IT is believed. That 1t cannot
be hurried through the Senate is now
certain.
Very few Democrats can be found
who will defend the action OF THE
President.
Reply to Criticism.
The reply to the criticism OF the
nomination is that other Presidents
have promoted their favorites and the
cases of Wood and Pershing are most
frequently cited. While it is not hard
to distinguish very clearly between
the present. case and those OF General
Wood and General Pershing they may
aff6rd the Administration Democrats
an opportunity to justify by precedent
the Presidents action.
The Republicans will oppose the
OF Grayson almost to a
man, and several Democrats are ex-
pected to vote against 1t.
To Go Through Ultimately.
Because the nomination has come
in so near the end or Congress, it will
be comparatively easy, it was said to-
day, to prevent confirmation at this
session. but it is generally expected
that the President will Immediately
repeat the nomination and ultimately
will get 1t through the Senate.
