 cle known unofficially as the lad : ministration bloc" of the Senate It is alleged that there Is dissatisfaction with the leadership of Senator Lodge. According to the committees state ment. some days ago number. of re- publicans conspired to the end that Senator Watson of Indiana. might be chosen to succeed Lodge. It was ar- gued that Lodge had proved failure. and that the country would be better satisfied with a leader from the west than from the east,
 Shortly after the Watson meeting, the committee declares that Senator Lodge called meeting of his friends, and by the formation of Lodge bloc" fortified himself to scotch the ambition of Watson. In the mean while, Senator Curtis of Kansas, said to have regarded himself as the log ical successor of Lodge, fell out with Watson because of what the democratic committee termed "po- tential double e-eross"
 Fight Is On
 Judgment of best posted democratic senators. however, is that the "old guard" for reasons of expediency, will bury the hatchet. and present a solid front against the forces strug- gling for an extraordinary session.
 If an extraordinary session is called, the indications are that the "old guard" will be swept from places of power. The radicals" with strength enough effectually to threaten, will, according to what is generally understood, move against Lodge as leader, Senator Cummins of Iowa. as president protempore, and Senator Shoot. as prospective chair man of the finance committee. If the "old guard" maneuvers so successfully that the newly elected Congress will not convene until De cember, 1923, much of the punch will be taken out of the radicals" it is claimed. and much of the effect of the elections of November lost. The situation is understood by both fac tions. And the struggle is commence ing.

Radicals" in Republican Ranks Playing Politics in Order to Influence Next
 Party Convention
WASHINGTON BUREAU1
 THE AGE-HERALD Washington n C. Dee 10

It is evident that the so-called pro- gressives in the Senate have deter mined to force an extraordinary ses- sion after March 4 if it be possible.
 Admittedly, they are anxious that the. newly elected Congress have a quick inning at the bat in order, as they say, that Legislation required by the people may be enacted"
 The President Is very anxious that there be no reason why he should convene the newly elected Congress In extraordinary session. It is said that he feels convinced the "radi- calls" would play politics in order to influence the convention and cam paign for 1924
 Therefore, the Presidents friends in the Senate have devised plans to block the bloc. The struggle prom ises to be exceedingly interesting, if indications count for anything.
 Plan of Democrats
 The strategy of democrats has been determined. The fight, they say, is republican fight. Politically, the "progressives" are preparing to pull their chestnuts out of the fire. It would admittedly serve their purposes if the "progressives" destroy the "re- actionaries.n
 They could not then be charged with having contributed to the ad- minlstration's failure to put through its legislative program. And repub- 1ieans, it Is pointed out. rather than democrats, would have forced the President against his wishes and judgment to assemble an extraordi- nary session of Congress.
 Democrats. 1t is indicated. will watch with approving eye the tactics of Senators Borah mad LaFollette. Those senators are candidly opposing the administration program. They will filibuster against the shipping bill. They can force an extraordinary session simply by preventing passage of one appropriation bill Rules of the Senate give them such advantage that 1t is predicted they will succeed.
