SENATE DEMOCRATS HAT BE-
CtDE EEPTJBLICAlf K6W.
Tnpreetdented 8itnation; Expected
to Follow Sefnsal of ProgressiTei'
rjenandi by 0. 0. P. Reg-alan
(Attacfatti Prut Report.)
WASHINGTON April M. The demo-
crats of the senate may be called upon
to arbitrate the differences between the
republican regulars and progressives over
the question of committee assignments.
This unprecedented situation was freely
predicted tonight following the adjourn-
ment of a meeting of the republican com-
mittee on committees at which demands
ot th progressives for right to dictate
one-fourth of the republican members on
all committees was again turned down.
The progressives today did not ask for a
formal recognition of. their wing of the
arty but this made no difference in the
vote of T to 4 by which their original de-
mands were rejected.
It was said the progressives win appeal
to the senate and imthi way the demo-
crats win be called In to settle the differ-
ence. 'Neither of the republican factions la dis-
posed to shirk the responsibility! of the
situation. If the dispute gets Into the
hands of democratic senators. It la pro
dieted the result may be far moreconse-
quenttal than the mere- straightening of
the committee tangles. The snarl n the
senate would b such that no one could
forecast th legislative results of the ses-
sion. s
Situation Complicated.;
Just what action the democrat would
take as arbitrators In the commltee dis-
pute Is speculative. "A number of them
are known to. sympathise strongly with
the Insurgents while many other un-
questionably would vpte to sustain paray
regularlty. As a result the situation to-
night seems almost hopelessly compli-
cated. . .
At today's meeting the resolution adopt-
ed yesterday which provided for the organ-1
tsatton of th committee in' alphabetical
order was reconsidered and Senator Gal-
linger as chairman of the-committee wasv
Instructed to; brmg In a tentative list K
assignments. But this action waa not
taken without strenuous opposition from
the progressives who.stlU Insisted upon
their right to designate' their representa-
tives on all theacommlttees. t;
. When they Were voted down the prq-
greaaive retired ' from the committee
room. They do not . relish the prospect
of having Mr. Qalllnger name the pro-
gressive members of the committee and
while they make nb declaration to this
effect It. la plainly their purpose to oppose
the chairman's action Whenever It falls to
meet their requirements ot one-fourth of
tha republican commltttei assignments. '
'4 May Take C to Senate.
'If such a conflict should ensue. It is
expected tha seven regular members of
th eommlttea would stand together m
supporting tha Oalllnger selections.
Tb defeat of amendment offered by
precretsilves would follow and la that
event It la expected th progressives re-
fusing to accept th situation would take
the case to las senate. An intermediate
stop would be ooMtaered byjne repuor
Ucan caucus but al the regulars eutnum
bar the progiesstvs I to L th commit-
tee regulars would be sustained there and
the pretrsslves would f iU to And reUet
rh progreasivea . contend that It the
detnoorats are Inclined toward reform they
would be compelled to support their plat
but -the reguls rapubacans believe the
onservatlvc democrats would stand with
them la this si la other matter. '. 1 ' ;.

On th other hand the regulars say to

Mvislon.
The progressives are anxious to Influ-
ence the committee on appropriations as
means to controlling th committee oa
expenditures. They want larger repre-
sentation on the post office committee as a
check on executive appointments and they
desire to aid In the shaping of the settle-
ment of the Mexican embrogilo through
the committee on foreign relations. They
also hope to Insure another favorable re-
port from the committee on Judiciary on
the resolution providing for the election
of senators by the direct vote of the peo-
ple and are therefore desirous of Influen-
tial representation on that committee.
