-FOUR POLITICAL ROWS

UNITED Press Leased Wire Ser-vice.1
WASHINGTON, March 17.-So
many internal tempests have been
stirred up for the sixty sixth congress
in advance Of its meeting that 1t ap-
peared today as though the first days
OF the session would need the service
OF the peace conference.
These political rows" are agitating
both the solons here and. those who
are to come:
IA contest between Representa-
tive Mann, Illinois. and Representa-
tive Longworth, for control OF the re-
publican organization.
"a contest between Champ ClaTT,
former speaker (backed of course by
"a large number Of democrats) and an
anti Clark faction determined to beat
the next house.
"A contest between senate pro-
gressive republicans and 'regulars"
for control OF the organisation Of that
body.
"A contest against Boies Penrose
as chairman Of the senate finance
committee, being conducted by pro-
gressives.
Representative Mann today, reply
ing to charges that the next house as
organized by Mann's forces will be
thoroughly reactionary, said:
Mick Longworth thinks it is wicked
that other congressman do not take
him at his own valuation. He want
ed to be speaker, but no one else was
for him.
'What gets under my hide IS for a
man Ike Longworth to call me re-
dictionary. I accomplished much by
working while Longworth was attend
ign pleasant social functions. He
ought to do as am doing, take defeat
without whimpering. By hard work
he might develop into good legis-
lator.'
Anti-Mann forces said today they
have an organization of sixty which
win insure against Mann's leadership
without ceasing.
IN the fight against Clark, Repre-
sentative Lever, South Carolina, has
now joined openly. Clark Is being at
tackled on the ground he has not sup
ported the Wilson administration
staunchly enough
The Penrose fight and the fight on
ancient rules in the senate led by
progresstves are quiet, but plans will
soon be made for opening active hos
tflities.

fences have been capitalized by the
government press bureau and the

t.ieir usual custom, believe or dis
a,elieve these stories according to the
faction with which they are in sym.
Iathy.
Regardless of any claims which
may be made by any agency, Ger
many is rapidly becoming converted
to soviedsm as the result Of radical
propagation. AS result, this year
vast majority OF Germans were
strongly opposed to the soviets on
the grounds that such organizations
signified bolshevism- This idea is
changing, especially since the radi-
Gals have advocated equal represen-
tation OF employers in all soviets re-
gardless of their numerical infert-
ority. It is now proposed that the
bundesrtat upper legislative house)
be abolished and new soviet con-
gress established In its place, repre-
senting all working groups This
would provide representation for the
people according to their social
status, while the reichstag would rep
resent them according to localities.
Supporters of such an organization
are growing rapidly. The govern
ment may provide for It in the con-
stitution, hoping thus to avoid the
April revolution, but there Is a pos
sibility that the radfcals-conhdent
they have the upper hand-wfll de-
n1and even more, although their pro-
gram for governmental changes has
not been made public. It is known,
however, that the radicals believe it
is necessary for the workers to exer-
cite direct control over all indus
tries. They fear otherwise that many
Industries will remain idle, since the
capitalists are not eager to reopen
their factories in view OF their I'M
pending Specialization.
