time getting over.

in the neck with a pair of office

SENATOR'S ARE
PREPARED FOR
WARM BATTLE
Political Row to Break
Loose with Senator
Stone Featured.

The hottest kind OF q political row
will break loose today in the Senate.
Democrats. and Republicans led by
Senators Stone. Of Missouri, and PEN
rose. Of Pennsylvania, are expected to
open all the stored-up wrath OF the
War Congress, and spill 1t.
Senator Stone announced that he
would begin firing his batteries today.
He will make Penrose the main sub
ject Of his attack. But he will go
cunning for even bigger game-Theo-
dore Roosevelt.
For some time the administration
forces have felt the force of the Re-
publican attack. and Senator Stone,
at least. for one has decided that now
Is the appointed time to fight the is
sue out. His announcement on the
noor today was. however, wholly un-
expected.
Politics In War.
Il want to address myself" he said
Ito the Senate on the general subject
OF politics in the war and other ques-
tons related more or less to the reso-
lutions of Investigations which have
been showered upon the Senate"
But 1t must not be taken at that
Mr.. Stone Is going to talk about the
effort on the part of many Republicans
and certain Democrats to form a Con-
gressional Committee on the conduct
Of the war. Oh. no.
He said later in the day. There's
too much politics being injected into
the war. too much effort to thrust in
issues for the purpose of pure partisan
benefit. Penrose, Wilcox, and Roose-
velt have all made suggestions will
allude to-"
The Senator smiled one Of his enig-
matical smiles.
II think" he said drawlingly. "it
will be very interesting"
Wants Penrose There.
When he made his announcement
he called for the presence of Mr..
Penrose thus:
Il expect in the course of my re-
marks to make some pointed. but
need hardly say not offensive re-
marks in which the Senator from
Pennsylvania will be personally in
terested. As he Is not here today, I
should like to give notice Of my pur-
pose with the hope that he may honor
me with his presence tomorrow"
Senator Penrose is one OF the ablest
and most humorous debaters in the
Senate, and the tilt between himself
and Senator Stone will attract to the
gallery even those newspaper men
who ordinarily do not appear until
mid-afternoon.
