Possibility of Actually Pass
ing Bill at Special Session
Now Seriously Discussed.
G. o. P. NEWCOMERS KICK
OVER PLAN OF REGULARS
Motion for Adjournment Fails and
Upper Chamber Votes Night
Sessions Instead.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.


The Republican young guard" has
come out of both the West and the
East to aid in bringing about speedier
action on the tariff bill in the Senate.
The result has been that today the Sem
ate Is making more progress on the
bill than it has in weeks. The possi-
bility of actually passing the bill and
sending 1t to conference before the close
of the special session was being seri-
ously discussed for the first time in
days.
The Republican young guard" COM
posed for the most part of Republican
Senators who are comparatively new
comers, kicked over the traces yesterday
and helped to vote down the Simmons
resolution for adjournment Of the spe-
cial session of Congress on November %.
Immediately afterward, when the
Senate adopted a motion offered by
Senator Harrison of Mississippi for night
sessions on the tariff ''the young guard"
circulated round robin seeking to bind
its members to attend all night sessions
of the Senate, seeking to insure u
quorum at the night sessions and eX-
pedite the passage Of the bill.
Vandenberg Starts Action.
The round robin was started on it's
way by Senator Vandenberg q Mich
igan. Today it had been signed by "a
Senators, including all of the young
guard and Senator Fess of Ohio, the
Republican whip of the Senate. The
signers are Senators Allen of Kansas.
Patterson of Missouri, Herbert of Rhode
Island, Townsend and Hastings of Della
ware, Kean of New Jersey, Goldsborougn
of Maryland, Hatfield and Gof of West
Virginia, Vandenberg of Michigan, VOL
cott of Connecticut, Sackett of Ken
lucky, Metcaf of Ohio, Oddie OF
Nevada, Thomas of Idaho, Glenn and
Deneen of Illinois, Robinson of Indiana,
Waterman of Colorado, Capper of Kan
saS, Steiwer and McNary of Oregon,
Fess of Ohio and McCulloch Of Ohio.
Senator Vandenberg said today that
the young guard" was not an Or
was a spontaneous growth to put
little pep in regularity"
Adjournment Given Up.
Talk of an early adjournment OF
Congress was practically abandoned
today in view of the sudden turn which
the Senate situation had taken The
progressive FScpuDIlCdn BTOupI leu Dy
Senator Borah of Idaho, Senator Nor
ris of Nebraska and Senator La Fol-
lette of Wisconsin, which has made up
the coalition" with the Democrats to
deal with the tariff bill, has also gone
on record solidly as opposing an ad-
journment of the special session and
in favor of continuing with the con-
sideration of the tariff bill.
The Democrats do not intend to be
put in the position of blocking action
or delaying a final vote on the bill. In
view of the determination to go ahead
with the tariff bill and the new
psychology of the situation, some of the
Senators who had planned long speeches
on various items in the bill. today were
considering abandoning those speeches.
Agriculture Debated.
The Senate had before 1t the agricul-
tural schedule and was making rapid
strides with it, number of increases
being voted into the bill for the benefit
of the farmers.
The sugar schedule, it was said, is
the only one left which is likely to take
much time of the Senate. If that can
be disposed of fairly promptly, the pros
poets for final action on the bill in the
Senate before the opening of the regu-
lar session December 2 appeared to be
much brighter.
Senator Copeland of New York, a
Democrat, has prepared an adjourn
ment resolution, but it is not likely to
to be adopted. at least while the SEN
ate is in its present state of mind.
