Massachusetts cities is awaited with
more than ordinary interest, because
o: the effect that the Billy Sund*v
campaign - now being conducted in
this city may have on the vote on
the liquor issue. Seventeen munici-
palities are to vote on license tomor-
row and an equal number one week

Billy Sunday, “Ma” Sunday and
every member of the evangelist's
staff is doing his or her part to awing
Boston into the no-license column.
According to the no-license • and pro-
hibition workers, the' liquor people
are frightened at the prospects of
carrying Boston dry, as well as work-
ing to the same end in other cities •.

harder than * uSual is certain.

Strangely - enough the disposition
seems to be to avoid an office instead
of seeking it, because senators real-
ize that the man who becomes presi-
dent pro tempore is Out of the race
for the' floor leadership. There have
been some indications that the situ-

ation might be solved by giving the
office of president pro tempore to
Senator O’Gorman, who retires with

the end of the congress- This, it is
pointed out would be a compliment tb
the retiring senator, and would leave
all the candidates for the leadership
free to enter the contest. It is gener-;
ally Conceded that while the import-,
ant appropriation bills for the fiscal.1
year will occupy most of the time
between now and adjournment, much
general legislation on the administra-
tion program would be urged. Com-
rri^ees in charge of conservation
legislation, the Webb bill to author- !
ize domestic corporations to main-
tain collective foreign selling agen-
cies, the immigration bill and a cor-
rupt practices measure to limit na-
tional campaign expenditures are cer-
tain to be active from the beginning.*
Words long; is purely a discussion of
domestic issufes, the “state of the
union’’ and gives first prominence to
the railway situation: .
Today’s opening marks the closing
of man s monopoly of membership in
the houes of representatives. In the
next congress the clerks and the

ing: “The Lady from Montana.”
Miss Jeanette Rankin, republican,
first woman elected .to congress,. Is
expected to be in her seat then. She
does not sit in the present session—
although many ' uninformed, expected
to her today—but comes in with
the new, congress. When: she does ar-
rive the house will be Confronted with
revising its own rules to give her a

In the senate* there were three new
members to take the. oath of officee.-
James E. Watson of Indiana, republi-
can, takes the unexpired term of (he
late Senator Shively, democrat, who
was temporarily succeeded by Thos.
Taggart. Bert M. Fernald, republi-
can, of Maine, was elected to the ya
cancy caused by the death of Senator
Burleigh. William F. Kirby, .demo-
crat, of Arkansas, was elected to fill
the unexpired term of the late Sen-
atoiTClarke. v.
While the organization fight in the
house does not come unt\l the as-
sembllng of the next congress, the
senate probably ^will see some politi-
cal generalship in, the selection of a
successor tp Senator Clarke as presi-

have their eyes on the majority floor

feat of Senator Kern, are loath to

r (By Associated Press.)
.Chicago, Dec. 4.—Charles H. Wax
who the police say has admitted that
he is the man whose escapade with
Miss Rae. Tanzer, a tfew York milli-

borne, former New York district at-
torney, for-, two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, today said he
would waive extradition in order to
go back to New Yor-x and clear the
