 Since the San Francisco convention several democratic papers have suggested a change of the r1rIles for removing danger O minimizing the danger of deadIocks. Some have advised the abroga ton of the tyvo-thirds others clinging that as a tradition the adoption of rule by which the candidate receiving the smallest number of votes on each ballot be dropped. Such rule suggested hours of the San Francisco con- vention but that if made at all, should be made before the convention assemblies. It is a dangerous thing propose after the balloting has begun The proposal of it is apt to divert the votes of the weaker candidates candidate in whose interest it is proposed from candidate, one ot whose supporters has proposed it.
 Both changes which have been advocated should be made but the of dropping the low man would effectuany prevent deadlock whether the two thirds or the majority rule is followed. With such a rule it would be possible to fix the number of ballots beyond which the voting could not go.

After the progressive movement began his newspaper denounced it and it's leaders because their principles but because assault he viewed it the integrity of the republican party which he. with many others, believed the only party which could restore and keep the country keel.

In u. S. Senate

Senator Walsh's colleagues place
high up among his senatorial achieve
ments the brilliant work he did a.
chairman Of a subcommittee in pro-
curing the confirmation of Justice
Brandeis to his place on the supreme
bench. But the Montana Senator
ranks highest of all in his work for
the vital legislation looking to the de.

phosphate, potash and sodium and for
the construction of dams in the naviga-
BILE streams of the public domain.
The senator is a great advocate Of
the League of Nations, and among his
treasures he holds what is said to be
one of the most cordial letters Presi-
dent Wilson ever wrote, thanking the
Montana statesman for the consum-
mate skill and energy with which he
managed the presidential campaign Of
1916 in the deciding West.
Senator James Duval Phelan Of
California is native of San Fran
cisco, and has degrees from st. Ig-
natius and Santa Clara Universities of
that state. He was elected three times
mayor of San Francisco. His term of
service will expire March 8, 1921.
Senator Phelan is man interested
in all questions affecting the public
good; is a warm personal friend of
President Wilson, and it was he who
presented the president with a replica
of the statue of Robert Emmet which
is in the national museum at Wash
ington.
Senator David Ignatius Walsh of

has degrees from Holy Cross College,
Boston University school of law, and

of the old Bay State, 1914-1915. He
was elected to the United States Sen
ate. to succeed John Weeks, by about
$4,000 votes. Senator Walsh's whole
heart is in the fight against the League
of Nations, and his speech on the
floor of the Senate is reckoned one of
the ablest contributions to the mega
tive side.
The above mentioned Senators are
all Democrats, and have most import
ant committee assignments, and are
often heard to express their views in

One evening recently, at gather
ing of prominent knights of Colum-
bus at Washington, the conversation
turned on the number of Catholics now
in Congress. Strange to relate, not
one around the table knew definitely,
for each one was guessing, and many
were guided by the name only, with
the old expression, "Well, he ought to
be a Catholic, anyway"
AS the discussion warmed, one of
the officials at the Capitol, Cath.

bernian, entered, and proved to be
just the individual to put the ques.
tions to, and settle the argument. He
did not have to consult any stats.
tics, for he had the correct knowledge
with him on his tongue.
To the surprise of his brother
knights, he told them there were only
five Catholics in the United States
Senate, or one-nineteenth of all. He
mentioned them in the order OF
seniority as to their career in the Sen.
ate as follows: Ashurst, Ransdell,
Walsh of Montana, Phelan and Walsh

the youngest of the Catholic Senators,
but also has had the longest con.

ana was born in 1853. Senator Rams
dell had long service in the House be.
fore crossing over to the Senate,
where he will serve until 1925.
Senator Ransdell has worked
along many lines for tho good of God
and country. He has deplored the
great increase in the divorce rate in
this country, and introduced bill for
it's prevention. He also urges all young
attorneys not to take divorce cases
when admitted to the bar. Mr.. Rams.
dell is now engaged in securing the
passage of bill, which will prevent
