THE REPUBLICAN CONGRESS.

Republicans in Congress, 1t appears,
are never, but always to bc. harmonious
Possessed of a comfortable majority IN the
House and a narrow one IN the Senate,
they can hardly escape agreement at one
end OF the Capitol or the other, whether
ordinary political reasoning holds or not,
vet they feel none too sure OF II without
an effort The central difficulty concerns
a programme. But would real leadership
not provide programme? II there were
a trusted Senator q Representative, he
might give the cue, and, right or wrong,
it would be followed. But there rs no
such outstanding person. Nor Is the
leadership IN commission, so TO speak.
There are only would-be leaders, each
one rather aceentuatlng the differences
than minimizing them
The best hope for getting together lies
IN the stern neccessItles OF the situation.
II not in extra session. certainly ID the
regular session the Republicans will have
10 choose between accepting q chart from
= Democratic President as they have been
compelled to do as a minority party since
1912, or produce and shape their course
BY one OF their own u hat has not
hitherto been effected by advice from their
elder statesmen and counsels among
themselves may be forced by the approach
Of this dilemma. The most likely item

amended? 1t Is easy 10 say yes but then
come the awkward details II is III their
arranging OF these that we may get an
inkling Of how well the Republican will
be able to rise to their admittedly great

Anti-Saloon League mandate says ma
jority Of the Republican members of the
House are dry" and that, therefore, a
dry member must be chosen for Speak
or. in order that the plans OF the League
for drastic prohibition legislation at the
coming session may not be blocked by
inimcal committee appointments. The
House committees are named by the
Sneaker. and the Anti-Saloon League
wants a temperance committee composed
of members who will facilitate all dry"
measures, not obstruct them.
This imperative mandate of the Anti
Saloon League impGrts new phase to the
situation II is understood that the me m

selected by the New Dispensation Tor
