ENGLAND MAY HOLD
FEBRUARY ELECTION
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Jan. 3.-Great Britain
may hold a general election in Febru-
ary, il was asserted here today, after
a week end during which the news
papers discussed the political situa-
ton rather freely. 1t was declared
that Premier Lloyd George favored All
election next month but was meeting
position from an influential group
headed by Lord Birkenhead, which
desires an appeal to the country at
later date. This group is said to want
the government plan for reforming
the House of Lords to take definite
shape before an election is held.
The coalition liberals will meet here
in convention on January 21, and Mr.
Lloyd George will on that occasion
speak on the situation. Keen interest
in his address is already evidenced in
London.

Dali DEBATE
BRINGS OUT
BITTERNESS
High Feeling Exhibited by
Both Sides in Resumption of
Discussion of Anglo-Irish
Treaty Today.
ANIMOSITY is SHARP
(By Associated Pressl

DUBLIN, Jan. Bitterness and
high feeling were displayed by both
sides in the resumption by the Dai,
Eireann today of debate on the Anglo
Irish treaty.
The animosity between the factions
seemed far more sharply drawn than
before the adjournment for the holi-
days, and was the outstanding feature
of the opening session which began
shortly after II a. M, and was ad.
journed at 1:30 p. m.
Four speakers were heard at this
session Art O'Connor, and Countess
Markiewicz, opponents of the treaty;
and Peirce BeasIey and J. j. Walsh,
who pleaded for ratification.
Countess Markiewicz was given
close attention as she voiced criticism
of various terms of the treaty. She.
like Art O'Connor. concentrated on
the position the Southern Unionists
would have in the southern parliament
II the Irish free state were establish
ed, the couItes denouncing them as
lreland's worst enemies.
Beasley's plea to the Dali was that
1t lace the realities of the situation
and give chance to the nation, which
is trying to be born.
Walsh,S argument was that there
were nothing in the treaty that robbed
the Irish people of their ideal of indie
pendence. He declared amid cries of
No, no." that the most the Repub-
Ecan opponents of the treaty hoped
Tor was Republic for three-quarters
of Ireland, as they knew Ulster could
never be included in il.
People Favor Pact
A review of the attitude taken by
the Irish people at large would seem
to indicate overwhelming sentiment in
favor of ratification of the compact
Since announcement was made that
the treaty had been signed in London
1O1 public bodies have adopted resolu-
tlons in favor of the treaty and in
many cases have demanded that their
representatives in the Dali Eireann
vote for it.
Five more county councils, Lime.
rick, North Tipperary, Tyrone. Louth
and Wexford-yesterday added their
voices to the chorus approving the
treaty. The unanimity of the farmers
on the question is a notable feature of
the demand for ratification. They
have held scores of meetings through
out the country, and without excep-
tion have affirmed their support of
the pact
Opponents of the treaty today
brought out a new organ called THE
Republic of Ireland" and it was looked
upon as a new factor in the situation
Today's papers here discussed it with
a note of satisfaction. It's tone was
not aggressive and the first issue re
Trained from personalities.
Appeal to Members
This mornings newspapers appealed
to members of the Dali to heed the
necessities of the country one of them
saying: THE Dali must decide
whether it is a democratic or an auto
cratic body"
The peace agreement has been
under consideration by the Dali since
Dec IA, and it was generally believed
here today that the present session
would not be protracted. Many mem
bers looked for the vote on Thursday
night or Friday
Just before the Dali was called tc
order buzz of excitement was caused
by the distribution of an order of the

SENATE TODAY
is COMPLETELY
CHANGED BODY
Death of Pennsylvania Sena-
tor Marks Passing of Group
of Strong Men Who Con-
trolled by Force.
POWERFUL
BY MARK SULLIVAN

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-It will be
said that Penrose's passing makes lit
tie difference because he had been ill
and more or less out of things for
two years, off and on, anyhow. But
that will not be true.
What is true is that Penrose slipped
out OF things two years ago, that his
slipping out made a very great differ
ence, and that his death merely makes
his passing complete and creates an
occasion for pointing out how much
1t means. 1t is not merely that Pen
rose was the last of the barons 1t
is not merely that there is not a
senator left who is also in any sense
boss of his state. 1t is not merely
that there is hardly any such thing
left in American politics as a state
wide boss, in the senate or out of it.
B. What PenrOse's death signifies is
that the senate is today a completely
changed body, utterly different from
the picture of it which the public has
inherited from the past
Six months ago the state of Penn
sylvania was represented in the SEN
ate by two men who, whatever YOU
might think of their policies, were
among the strongest men of their gen.
Grafton. Today. and until Penrose's
successor is appointed, Pennsylvania
is represented in the senate by one
man whose name the public does not
know.
Cannot Fill Shoes
Neither this successor of Knox or
the successor of Penrose can possibly
fill their shoes, even if Pennsylvania
should take pains to send good men,
and even under the most favora BILE
circumstances, otherwise until they
have had several years of experience
and enough time to reach. under the
seniority rules of the senate, positions
of power and responsibility
This case of Pennsylvania is ex.
treme. but it merely happens to be
conspicuous at the moment. Much the
same sort of change has come to the
other states gradually, without the
public noticing it.
There are few strong individuals
in the senate, but there is no group.
of strong men who act together, who
have sense of collective RESPONSE
bility for running the country, or
actually do run it.
The phrase that Cox made a slogan
of in the last presidential campaign
The Senate Oligarchy''- is a joke.
There is no such thing.
There is no senator or group OF
senators who, either through strength
or personality, or by virtue of official
authority, are able to crack the party
whip or otherwise enforce discipline
and achieve collective action. The
senate today has little more discipline
than town meeting.
Three Groups.
The big Republican majority is di-
vided roughly into three groups: The
farm bloc, composed of men like Ken
yon and Capper; the remnant of the
old guard, like Lodge and Curtis, and
a middle-ground group led by men Nc
Cormick and Lenroot. What the SEN
ate happens to do about any particular
matter is determined by the loose
shifting attachments of men at the
outer edges of these groups.
Specifically, Penrose's death Will
bring an important change in the
Craftsmanship of the important finance
