Progressive Element Refuses to
Accept Responsibility.

Fight Over Prohibition Bill For Wash
ington Cause* Bitter Feeling Among
Senatore—Edward N. Hurley, Chair
man of Federal Trade Commission,
Right Man For the Job.
By ARTHUR W. DUNN.
Washington, Dec. 28.—[Special.]—
There lias been an Intimation that an
explosion will occur ere long If con
stant and reiterated declarations con
tinue to the effect that the possibility
of Republican success last fall was
"lost by blunders," and that "victory
was kicked away," and that the door
was "shut in the face of the Repub
licans" seeking the presidency. There
are rumors that some of those to
whom criticism is pointed may decide
to stand from under and let the blame
rest where it belongs.
Those who know anything about the
late campaign are aware that every
body connected with the Republican
side who had any responsibility has
had to bear the brunt of criticism, and
the higher the men stood In rank the
more blame attached to them. Re
publicans in Washington have receiv
ed intimations that an exposition of
the conduct Of the Campaign may fol
low unless it is Boon decided to let the
whole matter sink into oblivion.
Another Warning.
The progressive element In the Re
publican party has also sounded a
warning to the standpatters to the ef
fect that it does not propose to be held
responsible for the defeat and, further,
that criticisms and blame of Governor
Johnson of California, Governor Cap
per of Kansas and Progressive leaders
in other states had better stop if there
is anything in the desire of the old
guard to win over the Progressives
and secure a victory next time. More
than that, the progressive Republicans
say that when it comes to nominating
a candidate next time they will have
something to say and that the old lead
ers may as well reckon with them.
A Roosevelt Idea.
One of the Progressive leaders, a
man who supported Rooseveli and may
be voicing the ideas of the colonel,
said: "Twice the Republican national
conventions have been managed with
one sole idea—that under no circum
stances should Theodore Roosevelt be
the nominee. In 1912 they unseated
enough regularly elected delegates to
prevent Roosevelt's nomination. In
1916 they 'hand picked' the delegates
so as to make it Impossible to consid
er Roosevelt Whether it is Roosevelt
or some other man next time, the pro
gressives of the party are not going to
stand for those methods, and the party
will continue to be divided."
Brought Out a Bitter Feeling.
The fight over the prohibition bill for
Washington caused a rather bitter feel
ing among senators. Underwood of
Alabama, who led the fight for a refer
endum to the voters of Washington,
and Sheppard of Texas, who was the
proponent of the prohibition bill, had
several sharp clashes and said things
which were almost unparliamentary, j
Then Vardaman of Mississippi, an ar
dent prohibitionist, clashed with Mar
tine of New Jersey, who is anything
but a prohibitionist All this was on
the Democratic side, showing that pol
itics does not unite men on all ques
tions.
f5W,WVfWU L/OTIWII.
Chairman Fitzgerald, when fighting
against increased appropriations in the
house, asserts that next year there will,
be a deficit of $300,000,000. That Is
quite a sum, and the prediction is made
that a tax will be laid upon pretty near
ly everything in order to raise the
money. Fitzgerald explained to the
house that in addition to what it was
costing to maintain the national guard
on the Mexican border there was now
a deficit of $8,500,000 to support the
dependent families of guardsmen. Our
experiments with the militia and Mex
ico are quite expensive.
A Busy Business Man.
Edward N. Hurley, chairman of the
federal trade commission, is an exam
ple of a business man in a business
place. Hurley by good business meth
ods accumulated a fortune. Ho does
not need the office he is holding; the
salary is nothing to him. But he is de
voting his time and talents to a gov
ernment position in order to do some
good to the country—to help business
and improve business methods. Those
who see Hurley in action and notice
how he cuts right through sophistries
and carefully woven webs agree that
he is the right man for the Job.
Want a Drastic Bill,
The so called corrupt practices act,
which is now undergoing repairs, is
likely to have a hard time in the sen
ate. Quite a number of senators are
seeking to make it very drastic and to
make it impossible to spend much
money in political campaigns. It is
said that expenditures in the recent
campaign will come in for an airing
when the bill is again considered in
the senate.
SEE TROUBLE IN
NEXT CONGRESS
Only a Few Republicans Want
to Organize it.
MAY BE AN EXTRA SESSION
President Wilton Has Set Hie Mind on
Program—Thunders of Economists In
House Avail Nothing When There Is
Enough "Pork" In Sight to 8ecure
Votes.
By ARTHUR W. DUNN.
■Washington, Dec. 27.—[Special.]—
Only a very few Republican members
of the house want to organize the Six
ty-fifth congress when it assembles.
Most of them are becoming convinced
that there is to be a great deal of trou
ble for the nest congress. It is scarce
ly possible for the present short ses
sion to take care of the deficit which
faces the treasury, and it will devolve
upon the next congress to devise meth
ods of taxation which will pay the
very great expenditures authorized by
the present congress and which must
be continued for years to come.
The Republicans who would like to
organize the next house are those who
will bo benefited in the way of posi
tions and important chairmanships.
That is natural. All men look out for
their own personal interests first, and
good positions on committees and else
where is important to the average
member. But at present the majority
of the Republicans think It would be a
good thing to let the Democrats con
trol ail branches of legislation during
the coming two years.
Extra Session I nreai.
Two years ago President Wilson
was very glad to avoid an extra ses
sion of congress, and it Is supposed
that he would be perfectly willing to
see the present session clear up all
business by the time It adjourns. But
he has set his mind on a program and
has already indicated a disposition to
call an extra session if his recommen
dations are not carried out. As a gen
eral thing a threat of an extra session
causes congress to work hard, and that
may follow the Intimation from the
White House at this time.
Want Their Share.
The thunders of the economists in the
house avail nothing when there is
enough of so called "pork" in sight to
secure votes. Take the subtreasuries,
which have been pronounced useless
since the federal reserve act went into
effect. When an attempt was made to
abolish them the cities having such sub
treasuries rallied their forces and voted
down the committee on appropriations
at every point.
Large Black Population.
While the prohibition bill for the Dis
trict of Columbia was under discussion
the statement was made to the senate
that thore were 100,000 negroes in
Washington Senator Galliuger of New
Hampshire, who is well Informed in re
gard to capital conditions, thought the
number was placed too high, but it is
a fact that nearly one-third of the pop
ulation of the national capital Is black.
The negroes have been coming to Wash
ington ever since the civil war ended.
Constitution In tk« Way.
The constitution of the United States
is made to bear a burden in every ef
fort to pass legislation. The constitu
tion was dragged out several times and
held up as a barrier to action during
the discussion of the prohibition bill
for the District of Columbia. For in
stance it was declared to be impossi
ble to let the people of Washington
vote on the question because the con
stitution stood in the way. Then it
was also said that It was against the
constitution to say how much or how
little liquor an individual might keep
in his house. In fact, the constitution
served quite a purpose in prolonging
the debate.
For the Babies.
Members of the house were striving
to secure an additional appropriation
for the children's bureau and the cry
of lack of money was raised.
"We are going to appropriate at this
session of congress," remarked Minor
ity Leader Mann, "possibly close to
$2,000,000,000, a large share of which
will be for the purpose of possible en
gagement in the destruction of human
beings through a defensive war. It
seems to me that we may well add a
little appropriation in order that the
country may properly care for the ba
bies."
Mann Is Slangy.
Jim Mann insists upon the use of cor
rect English in legislation, but he some
times falls Into slang when talldng In
the house. Coady of Baltimore was
making a strong fight for the retention
of a subtreasury in Baltimore. "You
have to appear here and advocate It,"
remarked Mann, who was against the
subtreasuries. "You are urging the con
tinuation of the subtreasury in Balti
more because your leg has been pulled
by It."
High Cost Continues.
One-third of the session of congress
has passed and no action taken look
ing to the reduction of the high cost
of living. There have been any num
ber of suggestions, but so far no one
has been able to see how to regulate
supply and demand so as to keep prices
from going sky high in times like
these.
