REPUBLICAN POWER
IN SENATE TOTTERS
Two Deaths May Cut Major
ity to Six, Counting Rad
icaI Members.
BY n. O. MESSENGER.

The legislative situation in the
rext Senate promises to be precarious
for the republican party and the ad-
death of Senator Nelson Of Minnesota
and Senator Nicholson of Colorado.
Before their demise the republican,
majority in the Senate was ten. The
appointment of .Alva b. Adams, dem
ocrat, to succeed Senator Nicholson
reduced 1t to eight. II a democrat IL
elected in the special election called
for July 16 in Minnesota the majority
of the republicans will be six, but will
include some republicans who can
not be counted on to support ali the
administration policies.
Radicals in Power.
In point Of fact. the radical bloc
in the next Senate will control the
of committees and
hold the whip hand over legislation.
The progressive senators-even those
who are classed as radicals-are ex-
pectde TO demand increased represen-
tation on committees and will be in
The progressives and radicals expect
the assistance of democrats on some
of their most progressive bills in con-
temptation and the democrats will,
10 doubt, utilize every opportunity
to embarrass the republican ma
jority.
The action of Gov. Preus of Minne-
sofa yesterday In calling a special
election to fill the vacancy in that
state adds to the interest of the sena-
publicans in the Senate had hoped
that Gov. Preus himself would find
means to succeed Senator Nelson and
join their ranks. 1t had been sug-
gested that he might resign the
governorship and be appointed to the
but that plan seems to have fallen
through.
The primaries for the selection of
candidates at the July election have
been called for June Is. but there
is no indie indication ye. that Gov: Preus
Toilette is expected to go into the
primaries and make a vigorous fight
for liberal candidate for the
senatorship. He is credited with
having rendered valuable assistance
In the election Of Senator Shipsted.
in the next Senate.
Democrats Hope Split.
The democrats will make fight
in the July election for a straight
out democrat. hoping to benefit by
a prospective split between the re-
publican factions. The two national
committees will not take part in the
primaries for the selection of candi-
dates. but will jump into the cam
paign for the election.
1t is noted that in the Colorado
appointment the governor ignored
the recommendations of Mr.. Wilson,
Mr.. McAdoo and Mr.. Bryan in the
selection of a senator. Mr.. Wilson
had suggested Mr.. Huston Thompson
and Mr.. McAdoo and Mr.. Bryan
wanted the late Senator Shafroth's s
son. The governors choice Is classed
as a conservative democrat.

FACTS KEPT SECRET.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, May Is. Leonid Krassin.
Russian soviet commissar for foreign
trade, had two-hour, conference
with Marquis Curzon at the foreign
Office today concerning the recent ex-
change of notes by the two govern
Jnents.
Both sides agreed to reveal nothing
publicly regarding the nature of dis
cussion and it is apparent from the
extreme secrecy observed in the other
governmental departments that Lord
Curzon Is determined nothing shall be
announced regarding the decisions
taken until the conversations are con-
cluded. The Russian trade delegation
was equally uncommunicative.
AS soon as NJ. Krassin has COM
municated Lord Curzon's views to
the soviet government and received
a reply he will have another con-
ference with the foreign secretary.
ters that the negotiation with Kras-
sin, who possesses plenary powers
will result in an amicable solution.
Significance Discussed.
Discussion arose in the house of
commons between the government
spokesmen and the laborites as to the
actual significance of the lengthy
meeting between Foreign Secretary
Curzon and NJ. Krassin. the soviet
commissar for foreign trade. The
Iaborites made evident their fear
that, during the Whitsuntide recess
the government might take some
steps against Russia without parli-
mentary consent.
Replying to the debate, the under
secretary for foreign affairs, Donald
McNeilI, contended that the British
ultimatum to Moscow still stood and
that all that had been done was to give
time to Krassin in which to communi-
cate with his government.
Finally appeal was made to Stan
ley Baldwin as leader Of the house
and acting premier. Mr.. Baldwin
supported Mr.. McNeilrs view and de.
clared that should 1t become obvious
that no agreement was possible with
the soviet, the government could not
be tied in its action by the fact that
parliament was not sitting. At the
same time he was hopeful OF a favor
