OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
( Special Correspondent )
Vice President Sherman makes
an ideal presiding officer of the
Senate from the viewpoint of the
Old Guard. He knows how to side
track progressive legislation , and
his heart is in the work.
An instance : When the resolu
tion providing for the direct elec
tion or senators , passed in the
House by a vote of 296 to 16 , was
presented to the Senate it was im
mediately referred by Vice Presi
dent. Sherman to the committee on
privileges and elections.
This is the committee that white
washed Lorimer , and as constitut
ed at present is dominated al solu-
tely by Tory senators.
Inasmuch as the resolution in
the last Congress was referred to
and acted upon by the judiciary
committee , "the senate was amazed
at Sherman's action. Culberson
of Texas moved a reconsideration
of the action and the resolution
will probably be turned over to the
judiciary committee after all. The
incident is impressive , howeveras
revealing how determined the op
ponents of popular government
are to defeat the will of the people.
Jugglery of a character similar to
Shermans is being used in the sec
ret conferences of reactionaries in
a determined effort to pack all the-
senate committees against progres
sive legislation.
Step by step , the committee on
patronageconsisting of Hon. Jas.
T.Lloyd of Missouri , Hon. Martin
D. Foster Illinois Hon. Benj. G.
Humphreys of Mississippi work
ing out the difficult problem of
apportioning the various positions
inherited by the Democrats along
with the control of the House of
Representatives' That everyone
should receive the exact position
he preferred wrs obviously impos
sible. But the committee consider
ed fully the claims of the appli
cant , ith the result that the House
membership in general is pleased
with the results.
One of the next steps in th6
Democratic program will be to re
duce the heavy tax on woolen
goods. If this can be accomplished
as planned by the Democrats , the
western senator who has been call
ed the greatest sheperd since
Abraham may be somewhat wrat-
hy , but-ninety millions of Ameri
cans will wear more elegant and
more comfortable attire.
The people , after a long and
stubborn fight with special privi
lege , have restored popular gove
rnment in the House of Represen-
eatives , the lower branch of Con
gress. The fight must not stop un
til the people are equally well re
presented in the United States sen
ate and in the executive mansion.
That reactionery republicans in
the senate are lying in wait for-the
farmers' free list bill and other
progressive legislation passsd by
the democratic house , is becoming
more evident every day.The mo
tive is two-fold to protect the
profits of the tariff trusts , and to
prevent if possible , the democrats
from carrying out projnises made
to the people in the last campaign.
The group of Senate Tories is still
able to exert a tremenduous in
fluence upon legislation. Having
packed the important committees '
with men who-take tlftr corporation
attitude toward the particular legis
lation to come before those com-
mitteF , the reactionaries are in a
position to continue serving special
privilege by obstructing , and per-
nape preventing , the passage of
legislation desired by the people. '
Among those whom the public
may safely rely upon to oppose
most of the progressive house
measures are Gallinger , Smoot ,
Guggenheim , Stephen son , Lodge ,
Oliyer , Warren , Perkins and a doz
en others , who will at all times
have the hearty co-operatiou of
Vice President Sherman.
Back of this group of reactionar
ies are arrayed the tariff trusts , the
railroads , Wall street , Standard
Oil and the , balace of the organized
wealth of the country.
The democrats and progressive
republicans are pitted against this
combination. The two forces will ,
wlen | necessary , combine to prevent
the passage of a bad bill , but they
they will , be helpless at times to
prevent the Tories from obstructing
the passage of democratic legisla
tion such as the free list bill.
Ahout the only thing the average
citizen cnn do is to keep tab on the
votes of his individual representa
tive in'both house and senate , not
ing particularly whether they vote
for or against measures desired by
the people , and when election tima
rolls around to act accordingly.
Co-operating with the senate re
actionaries who are planning to
kill the free list bill and other simi
lar anti-fcrusb measures , is Nelson
YVDmarth AlJrich of Rhode Island.
Nominally Mr. Aldrich is connect ? d
only with an institution of his own
creation , called the monetary com
mission. Tue commission has a
suite of rooms-adjoining the rooms
ocjupied-by . the'finance committee ,
* J
> * * ) > *
to which the free list bill will go.
If it should happen , * opines the
Cleveland Press , that the door were
open between the/rooms of the
finance committee and the rooms
of the monetary commission , it
might happen that former Senator
Aldrich might communicate with
Senator Penrose , the new chair
man of the finance committee , and
*
thus the titular head of the senate
majority might have the benefit of
the views of the ex-lea ler ( and pos
sibly leader de facto ) of the United
States senate.
As a matter of face , Mr. Aldrich
leaps in'close touch with the men
he trained to be reactionaries as
when ne was actually a member of
the senate.
President Taf t took the leading
part in the fight against giving the
progressive republicans in the Een-
ate the committee places they de
manded , which fight resulted in
leaving all the big senate commit
tees the same citidels of special
privilege that they were in the pre
vious congress.
Before the republican caucus was
held the regular republicans of the
senate signed an agreement by
which they agreed to give the pro
gressives the one-fourth
- representa
tion upon all the committees to
\\hich they were entitled because of
their numerical strength. Senator
Penrose , who signed the agreement
for the reactionaries , is said to have
bitterly arraigned his regular col
leagues for putting him in the po
sition of breaking his political word ,
which he declared he had always
especially prided himself upon
keeping inviolate.
It is declared Pen rose's breach of
faith with the ' progressives was
forced by White- House pressure.
Pres. Taffc considers progressives
like La Follette his personal "ene
mies , and he does not want them in
a position to assist the democrats
to pass progressive house legisla
tion like the farmers' free list bill
through senate committees , which
they could do by combining with
the democrats if given the repre
sentation ; on the big committees
that was promised them and which
'they are justly entitled to because
of their numbers.
