Washington, July 2-There is no longer any doubt about
che matter. Republican control of the United States senate is
threatened. The result in the North Dakota primary, over
throwing Senator McCumber, chairman of the all-powerful SEN
ate finance committee, has made Washington at last see the
new light.
The McCumber incident is revolutionary. Washington does
not readily recall another defeat within his own party of a sem
ator who had attained the position of power that the chairman
ship of the finance committee gives.
America, freest of all the great democraces of the world, has
been a long time breaking away from the conservatism of two
essential parties. The "bloc' system of legislative control has
been common in Europe for a long time.
In the next senate that system will come to full flower in
the United States Of America. Already the constituted repub-
lican leaders have had a taste of it, already they have felt it's
growing power, and they are not at all pleased with the outlook.
