Congress Dies Fighting Hard
At Both Ends Amid Cheers
And Jeers of Riual Parties

Senator McCumber, Republican, of
North Dakota. "and the rest trying
to rig up political lightning rods
for themselves. we have come to the
| close of a session not remark
able in efficiency or achievement"
Senator Ashurst, Democrat, of
Arizona, said much has been done
for big directors and gougers. but
II is a pity to see Congress close
with such a poor record of service in
the, interest of the common people
| of this nation"
| President Wilson, however, de-
! clares he has no reason to hope that
the continuance of Congress in ses-
sion would result in constructive
some of the legislation enacted "in
! despair of anything better"
This statement was made in reply
to a protest from the heads of
seventeen railroad labor organiza-
tions against the adjournment OF
Congress without passing "a single
remedial measure" to check the
profiteering evil or to punish the
evildoers.
| Besides the legislation which Con
gress left unenacted. three measures
that were passed met defeat later
at the White House through the
exercise by President Wilson of the
pocket veto"
These measures were: The resolu.
ton repeating wartime legislation
the waterpower bill and the Under.
wood pulp-wood embargo resolu.
tion.
Five Major Bills Left.
Five major measures were left
in suspense by Congress. including
the national budget bill. The other.
are: The kenyon-Kendrick packin,
Legislation, the cold storage bill
the bonus bill and revision of ia,
laws.
The death of the budget bill wa
a serious blow to members of boil
parties in both Houses. For decade
a national budget system has bee,
urged by business men, and b,
members of Congress. but never be
fore has 1t been possible to max,
headway because of the opposition
of chairmen of House committee
who would lose their appropriatini
powers.

said the better. according to man,
who voted for it in the House. Thi
principle is carried into practice. a

/ see no reason to change at this
late stage of the preconve ntion

pressed in these dispatches that the
convention will never accept Sena-
tor johnson. He has thrown down
the gauntlet on the league Of ma
tions issue, declaring that nothing
but a fiat declaration again any
league will satisfy him, but the
trend of sentiment here is toward
a declaration which will satisfy
what is believed to be the public de-
mand for some sort of an interna-
tioonal agreement without accept
ing the Wilson policy in any re-
spect.
/ find that the so-called Indiana
plank which at the time Of its
adoption was hailed as the solution
of this problem has been put aside,
even though Senator Watson Of that
State is to be chairman of the reso-
lutions committee. 1t is looked upon
as too verbose and too evasive. 1t is
rather an encouraging symptom
that there should be apparent an
aversion to lodging this issue or
enveloping 1t after the fashion of
politicians in a mist Of meaningless
words.
Perhaps the most specific feature
of the day has been the frank ex-
preston of belief even in the head
quarters of the three leaders that no
one will know anything significant
of the result until after two or three
ballots have been taken. Everybody
is barking back to 1880 and the Gar
field convention for a parallel. There
are many who think that the dead
lock may be prolonged over Sunday
and 1 know specifically of travelling
reservations which have been
changed in anticipation of this.

BOOM GREETS

Geological Time.
CPubIic Ledger service.)

Chicago, Ill. June 5.-Governor
Sproul arrived in Chicago this after
noon. His greeting was a state
ment from John T. King, who, ear
Iier in the day. had talked to Sena-
tor Penrose over the long distance
telephone, that the Sproul boom for
the Republican nomination for Pres
ident had been the subject of COM
ment among leaders of the party
during the day.
Mr.. King stated a fact, verified to-
night. that Governor Sproul was not
the only Pennsylvania who was put
under the spotlight.

ago by Senator Penrose, much to the
embarrassment of Mr.. Sproul, as
sumed prominent Importance today.
FIurry Over Knox.
Mere announcement by Mr.. Knox
that he would not come to Chicago
set tongues wagging and the in
ference drawn from the Senator's de-
cision was that he had his lightning
rod up.
Mr.. Kings comment was to the
effect that the situation here was
rapidly shaping itself for Sproul
Mr.. Sproul would say nothing to-
night. His boom preceded him.
Sproul buttons and Sproul shout
ers were seen and heard in hotel lob
bies hours before the train to which
the governors private car was at

His friends here were active al
day and the hotel lobby talk was 10

He is of the opinion that the mer

Has Fancy Headquarters.
Although the people had been led
to believe he was the pauper candi-
date, struggling along. aided alone
by the thought he was the cham
pion of the common peepul," the
Johnson headquarters are about the
fanciest thing in Chicago. The mez-
zaline floor of the Auditorium Hotel
is given over to his picture and the
American flag. His name blazes
forth in red letters for seventy-five
feet on the Michigan avenue side OF
the hotel and for nifty feet on Con-
gress street. His statements to the
newspapermen who assemble twice
daily are little else than small coun-
terparts of those picturesque inter-
views on men and affairs that Roose-
welt enjoyed SO thoroughly.

Fight for Clock Trade.

Supremacy in the clock market
of the world is being bitterly
fought between clock manufacturers
of the United States, Switzerland
and Japan, say American clock
makers. who report they have been
swamped with foreign orders for
the past six months. France and
England are ordering many clocks
from this country, while South
America apparently favors the mar
ket here. despite the fact the con-
tinent is swarming with agents of
Japanese firms.

exception of the league of nations,
and that he did not anticipate dis
cord there. 1t is natural to expect
that Borah and Johnson will de-
mand more than they expect rela-
tive to the treaty. The mild reser-
vationists undoubtedly will do
likewise. In the end they will be
found pretty close together on a
plank that will enable both factions
to go out on the stump for the
party nominee.

FALSE STEPS
SEEN BY TAFT
Preliminary Cantering
Makes Lively Reading,
Says Former President.
BY WILLIAM H. TAFT
Copyright. 1910. By Puhlie Ledger

COmpoDysJ
Salt Lake City. Utah, June 5.-The
preliminary canters of. the candi-
dates at Chicago make lively read
Ing. 1t Is fairly evident. even at
distance, that some false steps have
been taken. One would seem to be
that of Mr.. johnson In demanding
q resolution repudiaiting the posi-
ton OF the great majority of the
Republican Senators in supporting
tne League of Nations with the
Lodge reservations
He Is already beginning to quail
~ by saying that he is In favor oil
league IL completely reframed.
rhe fact that Governor Lowden has
taken the firm stand in favor Of the
league with the Lodge reservations
may have had something to do with
convincing Mr.. johnson that there
are natural difiiculties connected
with his proposal that small bitter
ender minority shall wag the tail
OF the Republican dog.
General Woods troubles with his
managers do not cease. The dissen-
slons between Colonel Proctor and
MI. Hitchcock and the conflicting
Representatives as to their solution,
leave an impression of a Kilkenny
settlement Meanwhile. another
manager for the south. Senator
Moses, steps into prominence with
a statement as to the Georgia de-
cision. which would seem to be most
unwise for a representative of GEN
eral Wod to make.
Power of Senator Moses.
Senator Moses Is a journalist of
trenchant power. He loves the cut
ting and threatening style, so sd-
monishes the national committee
and the Lowden orces and the rest
of the convention that there may
be a union of the Wood and John
son forces, on the ines of the con-
vention of 1872, to do dreadful
things.
Only his passion for journalistic
triumph could lead him into such
an inexpedient step. Gen. Woods
supporters number among them
some of the most conservative OF
the delegates to the convention.
men who believe that Gen. Wood
would be a strong candidate and a
good President, but who are Repub-
licans and conservatives, and wish
that the convention shall nominate
a real Republican who can win.
The suggested idea that they could
be brought to a union with MT.
Johnsons forces is so utterly out
of keeping with their purpose that
it might. IL persisted in, weaken
their support of Gen. Wood.
The suggestion of disintegration
of the party of the national execu-
tive committee differs with Mr..
Moses on the question OF the regu-
arity of a contesting delegation
from Georgia, which in the veiled
hint he conveys, is not helpful TO
the Wood cause. The necessity the
general has felt of expressing his
confidence in Chairman Hays and of
qualifying the bitter words of Sem
ator Moses. indicates that one of
his prayers every night be Heaven
save me from my managers"
