REPUBLICANS IN A ROW
Progressives Oppose Penrose and
Warren as Leaders.

Washington, May Io.-Senate Pro-
gressives united today to defeat Sen
ator Penrose as chairman of the Sen
ate finance committee, and Senator
Warren, Wyoming, as chairman OF
the appropriations committee, and
overturn the time-honored seniority
rule"
After a two-hour conference, eight
Progressive Republican senators
named Senator Borah and Senator
Hiram Johnson to notify Senator
Lodge, Republican leader, that Pro-
gressves ARE not satisfied with the
proposed chairman of the finance
and appropriations committee, are
not willing to support him and do
not recognize the seniority rule as
binding against what we believe to
be the best interest of the party and
the country
cision.
Against Warren, who formerly
headed the appropriations commit
tee, they urge that he has not dis
played sufficient economy with the
public funds.
Republicans have majority Of
two in the next Senate. If the Pro-
gressives remain united, they pointed
out tonight. they will hold the bal
ance OF power. Democrats will have
their own candidates for the two
chairmanships and are counted on, as
a matter of course, to vote against
Penrose and Warren.
Progressives discussed the posi-
bility Of regular" Republicans
checkmating them by inducing
enough Democrats to absent them
selves from the Senate to counter
balance the weight OF Progressive
votes. They took no action on this
phase of the question.
They also discussed whether they
should stand on Senator Shoots re-
ported candidacy for President pro-
tempore of the Senate. Smoot, how
ever, has stated he is not candidate,
Senator Borah said. and definite &C
tiop was taken. Shoots friends have
been very active in his behalf and he
is generally regarded as the leading
Republican aspirant. Some Pro-
gressives have stated individually
they would vote for Senators
Thomas or Pomerene. the Demo-
cratic candidates rather than for
Smoot.

They Don't Fit.

Many of the returned soldiers have
already found that that best suit OF
clothes that they left behind when
they went to war don't fit near so
well as it did before. 1t seems to
bag in unexpected places and is too
tight across the shoulders and breast.
In fact, 1t don't feel just right any
where. They have Strengthened up
and acquired additional breadth OF
chest since they left home, and while
in the service they have formed a
habit of being just bit more par
ticular in the fit of their clothes.

GOVERNMENT TRUCKS
On WAY TO NEVADA

Several hundred thousand dollars
worth of automobile trucks. nearly
all OF them brand new, are rolling by
rail toward Nevada, having been Sc
lected by the Nevada department OF
highways from the immense a,lot-
recently made Il this state by the
war department under the act of
congress, says the Reno Gazette.
They cost the state nothing except
freight charges. and will all be used
In high way construction. Included
in the immense shipment are twenty
automobiles.
The trucks and cars included in
the selection just made cover less
than half the allotment made TO this
state. but IL is impossible for Ne
vada TO accept her entire share, the
directors of the highway department
say, as she could never possibly use
all OF them in highway work, to
which their use is strictly limited by
the government. Within a few weeks
the state will accept another allot-
ment Of heavy trucks and tractors,
but the next selection will not he SO
large.

MINT DIRECTOR RAY BAKER
GIVES HIS VIEWS On SILVER

Ray Baker. director of the United
States mints. arrived in Rene on
his way to San Francisco. While in
Reno he gave out the following
statement 10 the Gazette regarding
the future of silver and the Carson
mint
That the price OF silver will not
go below one dollar per ounce with
In the next seven years, and probably
for some time after that. is some of
the good news brought to Nevada
this morning by Ray T. Baker, direc~
tor OF the United States mint, who is
here en- route TO San Francisco for
the annual accounting of the mint
AT that place.
In accordance with the terms of
the Pittman silver bill" said Baker
today, Il have melted 100000, 900
silver dollars. and OF this amount.
200 900 600 ounces have been ship
ped abroad. mostly TO India, having
been purchased by England for the
Indian account in the war with Ger
many.
Up to the present time | have not
purchased a single ounce Of silver
to replace the silver that has been
melted and shipped abroad.
The Pittman silver bill provides
that $4,000. 900 ounces Of silver
shall be melted for shipment abroad
and other purposes. and that 1t shall
be replaced by silver purchased from
American producers at a price not
less than n dollar an ounce. To
replace this silver, should I purchase
every ounce produced in the United
States, would require at least five
years. But IL would be utterly i'm
possible for the government to pur-
chase all the silver produced in the
United States. Fer this reason 1t will
require a somewhat longer period of
time than five years. My estimate
is that the price of silver will be
stabilized at one dollar an ounce for
AZ least sever years
This of curse. is based on the
assumption thai congress does not
repeal the pittman silver bill. And
my judgment, based on personal OBJ
%servations at Washington and my re-
latious with leaders in congress, is
that such a contingency is not at all
likely TO arise.
Baker said that he has instructed
the minis TO take silver July 1 at the
prevailing market price. less the
fraction, which now s ranging about
$1.09 and s1.10 an ounce.
Coinage in the various minis last
year. the mint director says, was
