WITHIN Y E A R.
PaImisano'S Defe al
Main Factor

Washington citizens will be
given the vote within the present
Administration-and even within
the next year!
Those predictions were made
last night at the first autumn
meeting Of the District Suffrage
Association in the Herald-Times
Building, with more than $50 men,
bers attending.
Wilbur s. Finch, who was re.
elected president Of the associa-
ton, was authorized to write Presi-
dent Roosevelt taking up the ad-
visibility of asking the next Con-
gress to pass legislation for the
District suffage.
PREDICTS RESULT
Former Representative Loring
Black of New York predicted that
as a result of the referendum. last
April and with new members of
Congress taking office, the District
should be granted the vote within
a year.
The defeat Of Representative
Vincent. L. Palmisano Of Balti-
more, chairman Of the House Dis
trict Committee, was hailed as
a victory for suffrage by Mr.
Finch, who pointed out that
PalmiSano was bitterly opposed to
granting Washington residents the
vote, while Thomas D'AlesSandro,
who defeated him, has stated he
favors suffrage for the District.
Mr.. Finch also pointed out that
the two men in line for the chair
manship of the committee, Am
broSe Kennedy of Maryland and
Jennings Randolph Of West Vir-
ginia, are sympathetic towards
suffrage.
OTHER OFFICERS
In addition to President Finch,
other officers reelected were
Harry N. Stull, first vice presi-
dent; William A. Maio, second
vice president; Arthur Clarendon
Smith, third vice president;
William H. Mondell, fourth vice
president; Marguerite L. Krenek,
secretary; Lee H. Shugar, assistant
secretary, and Clara Wright
Smith, treasurer. Edward +. Col

dents.

ing into an international wrangle
somewhat like that of Mexico today.
There was domestic unrest over for
eign holdings in oil and other re-
sources and threats Of appropriation.
Mr.. Rublee was picked as q referee
between the government and the for
eign capitalists, some Of whom were
Americans. He spent three years in
an exhaustive study Of the opposed
claims and found for the Colombian
government. It was reported recently
that he would be sent to Mexico as a
mediator in the present oil and land
argument with our Government. But
mediators, conciliators and trouble
shooters are overworked these days,
and exiled capital may have to await
the disposition of exiled people.
A native of Madison, Wis, young
George Rublee was-literally--the first
graduating class Of Groton, the only
student in the class of 1886. This was
four years after the birth of Franklin
D. Roosevelt, who was to become a
lifetime friend of George Rublee and
who, as President of the United States,
was to defer to him as a senior grad
uate, at the Groton graduation exer-
cises.
Woodrow Wilson also was friend of
Mr.. Rublee, and named him to the
Federal Trade Commission as a Pro-
gressive Republican. 1t seems that, in
this appointment. President must call
his shots more accurately than that, a
definite Republican appointment being
due. and the Senate refused to con-
firm the nomination.
After his graduation from Harvard
Law School, Mr.. Rublee entered law
practice at Washington and gained
distinction in international law, which
made him q member of many board;
and commissions in which foreign in
terests were involved He helped

plans advanced. These claims ran
into millions Of dollars. Senator Berry
insists that every lease in the valley
held by himself and his 80 or 40 asso-
ciates had been obtained more than
year before the T. v. A. was ever pro-
posed by President Roosevelt. But
whatever the justice of Senator Berry's
claims, the White House turned cold
shoulder.
It was not unnatural that Senator
Berry's attitude underwent a change.
He was found voting against the ad-
ministration on number Of occa-
sions. He attacked the Presidents
spending program. He Is q wealthy

work at the age Of 8, an orphan. He
never had chance to go to school.
but he made his way. 1t is not strange
that he and the President may have
different ideas about the use Of money.
Unaided by Roosevelt and League.
In some quarters the elimination OF
Mr.. Berry will be hailed as relief"
to the New Dealers, if not as an actual
victory. The President never turned
over his hand to help Berry, appar-
entity, in his effort to win nomination
for his present post. Nor did the
league which he was foremost in or
ganizing-Labor's Nonpartisan League
put in good word for Berry. It
was explained at the leagues head
quarters that no Endorsements had yet
been given senatorial candidates-that
the list Of A, B, c and D candidates
put out by the league was confined to
House members. At the same time 1t
was admitted that the league took no
position with regard to the Berry can
didacy. Spokesman for the league
have attacked some OF the senatorial
candidates, however, including Tyd-
ings of Maryland and George Of
Georgia and Smith of South Carolina
and the league has Endorsed "Davey"
Lewis in Maryland against Senator
Tydings.
Representative Sam D. McReynolds
was renominated in Tennessee. de-
spite the fact he opposed the Presi-
dents wage-hour bill He had an
opponent, but Judge McReynolds was
too well intrenched to be dislodged.
His colleague, Representative Atkin-
son of the Nashville district, who also
opposed the wage-hour bill, was de-
feated by son Of the late Speaker
Joseph w. Byrns. Young Byrns. who
bears his fathers name, made an is
sue of Atkinson's opposition to the
President in the wage-hour bill fight.
He won by about 1900 over Atkinson
Mr.. Byrns is regarded as liberal
| and he is 100 per cent for the Presi-
dent in his policies.
Gov Browning might get into the
race for reelection yet If he would
run as an independent, perhaps with
Republican backing. The Repub-
licans did not enter candidates for
Governor and Senator in the primary
and will name them at party conven-
ton later. However, Browning's run
in the State outside Of Crump -domi-
mated Memphis was disappointing,
and not calculated to encourage him
to buck the Democratic organization

forgotten, however,

time being, unbeatable IN Tennessee.
Two years ago the combination was
temporarily dissolved, with Crump
supporting Browning for Governor
the man he helped to defeat Thursday
and McKellar, a candidate by the
name of Dossett.
Crump's man, in that race, won by
a very large margin. He won, how
ever, by some $1,000 out in the State
and without the vote of Memphis.
Browning had been in the House, had
a war record and was popular.
But now Mr.. Crump and the Senator
are together again. This makes 1t
very nice for Senator Mcclellan, who
comes up for denomination and re-
election in 1910. Gov. Browning, it
is said, has a great ambition to come
to the Senate himself and would like
to take the McKellar place. However,
his defeat yesterday rather dims any
chances he might have had against
the Senator. Senator McKellar is a
tough customer in a Tennessee po-
litical battle in any event.
Friendly Toward Roosevelt.
The Crump-McKellar victory will
give the White House no particular
qualms. Indeed, it is probably en-
tirely acceptable, although it is well
understood that the administration
will have to deal with these allies wher
it comes time to send Tennessee
delegation to the next Democratic Ma
tional Convention-in 1910. Neither
Crump nor McKellar is in a position
where he has to take orders from the
inner New Deal circle unless he wishes
to. At present both are entirely friend
ly to President Roosevelt. Mr.. Crump
despite the fact he is one Of the
wealthiest business men in his State
is standing four square for the Presi-
dent and his program. What another
year or two will bring is something
else. He and McKellar might be en-
tirely willing to go along with the
President, but they might balk at
supporting the New Deal choice for
President other than Roosevelt. Par
ticularly as Tennessee has a distin.
guished favorite son in the person of
Cordell Hull, Secretary Of State. for
mer Senator and Representative and
former chairman OF the Democratic
National Committee.
The elimination Of Senator George
L. Berry is one Of those upsets and
personal political tragedies that oc-
ours in politics. He was sent to WASH
ington last summer by Gov. Brown
ing to fill vacancy caused by the
death Of the late Senator Bachman.
Bachman was inimical to President
Roosevelt's bill to increase the men,
bership Of the Supreme Court. Here
was chance for the administration
to pick up vote in the close battle in
the Senate over that measure. Brown
ing came through with the appoint
ment Of Berry and he performed as
desired in regard to the court bill.
Berry had in 1886 organized Labor's
Nonpartisan League. He was and Is
president Of the National and Inter.
national Pressmens Union.
Here was q Senator who had served
the President well on many occasions.
Apparently the White House did not
relish the connection of Senator Berry
with certain claims for damages
