ON WASHINGTON
Ru " ODaley
I1csal ASSOCIATION sptcRl

Washington, Dec. 29.-The ex-
change of social amenities among
government officials and Members of
the Congress during the holiday sea-
son may bring results. The holiday
season is regarded as propitious for
political trading and no secret is
made of the fact the party leaders
are taking advantage of the occasion
to patch up political fences. 1t is
obvious to all observers that a halt
must be called upon the growing
spirit of dissension, which is breaking
down party solidarity and building
up factions.
1t is reported that Republicans and
Democrats alike are concerned over
the possibility of an extra session, re-
sulting from the increasing number
of squabbles, particularly in the Sen
ate. 1t is only strategy of the high
est order that can prevent special
session being called to provide ap-
preparations necessary for the con-
duct of the Federal Government DUR
ing the fiscal year beginning July
1, 1927. A filibuster or protracted
delay will leave the President no al
tentative.
The Senate and House have passed
two appropriation bills for the main
tenance of three Federal Department S.
1t is expected that the conferees will
bring out favorable report on the
Interior Department bill, which
passed the Senate last week. The
House Committee ON Ways and Means
is still at work on appropriation bills
and concern is manifested over their
fate if the Senate opens the discus
sion on political corruption at the
primaries and other issues, which
will leave little time for the consider
alton of fiscal measures.
1t is reported that the Administra-
ton is gravely concerned over the
radio situation. The Department of
Commerce has advocated a measure,
and Members of Congress have Of
fered substitutes with the result that
the proponents of the various meas
ures have not reached Engagement
The radio controversy is of far great
er political significance than the sur
face view indicates. 1t is INSOFAR
ably hooked up" with alleged cleo
trical monopolies and nation wide pro-
paganda concerning public utilities
and the Muscle Shoals project.
The rumor is current in Washing
ton that the debate on these measures
will provide startling sensations deal
ing with the activities of the so-called
electrical combine and Federal Gov
eminent. The Federal Trade Com
mission has already instituted an in
vestigation at the request of the Sem
ate and demand is now made for an
early report. The story is current
in political circles that the Fed
eral Trade Commissions report ON
the activities of the alleged '-electri-
cal trust" will be withheld until after
the adjournment of Congress, March
4. There are some who believe the
findings of this Federal agency will
carry political dynamite, and as a
consequence are demanding a speedy
report. The Special Senate Commit
tee is already inquiring into the
scope of the so-called bread trust,
| and has questioned officers of the
Federal Trade Commission. The
failure of the farm groups to obtain

expires in '929. Watson is running for
the full six-year term.
On only one other occasion has Il, Q

tdae same election. In 1916 Watson
defeated Tom Taggart. appointed to
succeed Den Shively who had died in

tion.
All of Indiana's thirteen members
of the house of Representatives arc
standing for reelection. Three Demo
Gratis and two Republicans are IN
opposed.
Because Of the number Of Demo-
Gratis in the long term senatorial race
and Republicans in the short term
contest. there is possibility that
the choice Of two candidates will be
delayed until the party conventions
in June. A majority vote is required
at the primary to determine candi-
date.
