Washington, Feb. 27.-Ho"
wisest to conduct themselves senate
Democrats will determine in a party
caucus March 5. There will be nc
contest for spoils, as all members OF
the party in the senate have agreed
to reelect Senator Underwood lead
er. There is no rivalry among mem
bers for committee assignments.
Each senator, however, will dis
cuss the program the party should
adopt. There is one element which
would appear to operate with the
Republicans in that the Republl'
cans might listen to their individual
pleas. There is onther element which
would fight the Republicans all the
way despite the palpable folly OF un-
necessarily attacking an organlza'
ton with a majority Of %. Senator
Underwood, it is learned, vii i'm
press his followers with the necessl.
ty of sticking together, and thus
making up in solidarity for their
lack of numbers.
"The Republican majority will
run over US for some rime," said
Senator Underwood tonight. "But
the Republican majority on account
of it's numbers and the inability OF
the several factions to agree, must
eventually divide. Then will have
arrived the opportunity of the
Democrats. If, when this opportuni.
ty comes, we can strike quickly and
impetuously, with every man enthu-
siastic in the enterprise, we can
give them several beatings. But if
our small minority divides among it
self, then, of course, we can do
nothing
There is little question but that
the Democrats will agree with their
leader to cooperate with the Re-
publicans in constructive legislation
and only oppose them when they
yield their natural inclination to run
counter to the requirements of the
country and the people. Senator
Underwood declared his conviction
tonight that if such program is
rigidly adhered to, the Democrats
will not only be able to make a
record for themselves, but will esta-
blish basis on which to go to the
country and ask for a return of
pow in administering the affairs
of the nation.
The only new Democratic senator
who is causing speculation both on
the part of Democrats and Repub-
licans is Thomas E. Watson, who
will succeed Senator Hoks Smith, of
Georgia. The Republicans believe
and will decline to stand hitched
when the Democrats prepare for
battle. Democrats, on the other
hand, while admitting a belief that
Watson will not be a party man in
the strictest sense of the term, en-
tertain confidence that his conduct
will result in Republican disappoint-
ment.
The idea also holds that Mr.. Wat.
son, having advanced in years, will
not attempt to be the firebrand and
iconoclast, the role of which he
would have played in preceding sea-
sons. AS whole, Democratic sena'
tors expect cooperation on the part
of Georgia's new agent. - .>'
