A question has been raised as to
whether the Republicans will be able
to organize the senate, and this solely
on the suppositon that Senator La
Toilette of Wisconsin might not act
with the Republicans. If La Toilette
refused to vote for the program which
the Republicans decide upon In the way
Of officers and committee assignments
IT would result in tie vote, as the
senate will be constituted after the
fourth of March. In that event the
Democratic organization would con-
tinue indefinitely. While Il great many
political writer's have INDUCED in spec
ulations as TO what Senator La Toilette
will do, no one seems to have taken
the trouble to interview the Wisconsin
senator on the subject. And as long
as he does not speak he can remain
the senatorial mystery.

There was no reason for the senate
or house being without quorum aft.
er the election, save the dissemination
of members to attend. OF course the
leaders could have brought quorum
of either senate or house together If
they had been so disposed, but the
leaders really believed congress was
entitled to n vacation of some kind,
and consequently they took no meas
ures to compel members to be present.
The lack Of a quorum prevented the
transaction of lot of business, such
as the passing of many bills upon the
calendar which are deemed important.
Much of this legislation will have to
be rushed through with scant consid-
Grafton during the short session Of
congress.
