GOVERN COUNT RY
Many Changes in the Member
ship of Congress.
1920 ELECTION RETIRES 1913
Country's Capital Loses Many Notable
Figures-NeW Section Of Nation
Now Dominates Legislation
at Washington.

Washington, March 5.-One hundred
and twenty-eight members OF the house
and senate retired to private life.
Most of them went out in the back
wash from the tidal wave which swept
the Republican party into full control
Of all the functions of the govern
ment, but some few, Republicans as
well as Democrats, elected not to run
again for their seats.
Champ Clark one of those who
would have retired, was claimed by
death two days before the session
ended. A picturesque character among
the outgoing members was Senator
Lawrence Y. Sherman (Rep.) of II
linois, who did not run for re-elec-
ton.
Three Go to Senate.
The actual number of house men,
bers quitting was lit, but three of
these-McKinley of Illinois, Harreld
of Oklahoma (Reps.), and Carraway
of Arkansas Dem.)-gO to the 9TH
er end of the capitol as senator's. Nc
Kinley's house record was fourteen
years.
The political landslide of Novem-
Der 2 gave the Republicans, much
larger working majority in the house
too big in the opinion of some lead
ers. The new extra session expected
to be called soon will start with 3O1
Republicans, 132 Democrats and one
Socialist.
The new senate, which convened
yesterday in special session to act on
nominations by President Harding,
contains SO Republicans and 81 Demo-
Gratis, giving the Republicans a ma
jority of % as against only two ma
jority during most of the last con-
gress. when the lineup generally was
40 Republicans and AZ Democrats.
One Woman in House.
For the second time in history the
house will have woman member,
Miss Alice NJ Robertson, OF the Sec
ond Oklahoma district, who succeeds
William w. Hastings.
For the first time in the history Of
the house the territory cast of the
Mississippi and north of the Ohio
rivers will dominate legislation, Re-
publicans from that area being in full
control and strong enough to overcome
all combinations of Republicans and
Democrats from the south and west.
Many places formerly held by vet
Grams were captured by men young in
years and politics, but some veteran
politicians come in. among them
Theodore Burton of Ohio, a former
senator. and Bourke Cochran of New
York.

days.
Immediately on reconvening after
the 80 minutes recess. the house
adopted resolution providing for the
payment to Mrs. Clark of a years
salary, totaling about $4,000.
To his last conscious moments the
former speakers mind was engrossed
with memories of his long legislative
career. Just before he lapsed into
final Inconsistencies those at his bed
side heard him whisper: "The lues-
ton is on the adoption of the confer
ence report"
AT Mr.. Clark's bedside when the

TO CALL CONGRESS AT ONCE
Meeting Was First in Line With New
Executives Announced Policy to
Maintain a Closer Relation
ship With Congress.

Washington, March Failure of
the army and navy supply bills in
the last congress and the mass of
work confronting the new congress
probably will compel President Hard
ing to call the extra session for March
IA instead of April 4, as planned.
This became known following a
conference between the President
Senator Lodge and Representative
Mondell, Republican floor leaders.
The conference ended without dates
being fixed Decision will be made to-
day, when Senator Lodge and Repre-
sentative Mondell return for second
conference.
Senator Lodge said that several
dates were discussed. He presented
request by Senator Underwood of Ala
bama that the session be deferred to
permit congressman to go home FOR a
rest.
Harding Asks Speed.
President Harding, Senator Lodge
said, opposed postponing the call be-
yond April and expressed the wish
it be moved up a week and possibly
two.
If this is done the senate will re-
main in continuous session, as leaders
agree it will not be able to conclude
its present business much before that
time.
The conference was the first in line
with the Presidents announced plan
to maintain closer relationship with
congress.
strongly urged ratification of the Co
lOmbian treaty at the extra session
of the senate which convened Satur-
day. Senator Lodge said the treaty
will be laid before the senate today
The President, it was learned, also
told Senator Lodge that he is anxious
to have commercial treaties pending
with Latin American countries acted
upon Immediately. Senator Lodge
promised that this would be done and
the treaties taken up in the order of
the Presidents preference.
In executive session Saturday Sena-
tor Lodge introduced a resolution re-
ferring all treaties on the calendar to
the foreign relations committee, of
which he is chairman. This will al
low him to bring them out promptly.
Treaty With France.
The tripartite treaty with France
is among these documents, Senator
Lodge said, though the Versailles pact
is in the archives of the State Depart
ment The French treaty was not
taken up at the White House confer
ence. and it is extremely doubtful If
any attention will be given to it be-
fore the special session begins. the
senator said.
While the army and navy bills are
being redrafted in committee it is
intended to pass the budget bill and to
send it to the President, so that the
new system can be placed in opera
ton as soon after July as possible.
President Wilson vetoed the budget
measure as first passed because it
contained a provision for comptrol-
Ter removable by congress. The
house struck out the feature and sent
the bill to the senate, where it died.
REPRESENTATIVE Good, chairman of
the budget committee, said that this
section will be reinserted, as Presi-
dent Harding does not object to it.
