Young; Guard Wins Out
Tho Influence of the "young
guard" was seen as tho deciding
factor which finally brought about
a decision by tho veteran senate
republican chieftains to recognize
Eafolletto's candidacy for the ft-1
nance committee and avoid an open
cleavage In tho party's ranks.
Senator Snioo.t of Utah, tho vet
eran chairman of the finance com
mittee, himself cast tho deciding
vote which permitted Lafolletto to
go on his committee. Senator Mt:
Nary, of Oregon, chairman of tho
committoe on committees, was re
garded us the leader In bringing
about a solution of tho problem
which had threatened to cause an
open discussion of tho party's dif
ferences on tho senato floor
MeNury Spokesman

upon by the -"young 'guard' ele
ment which' Identifies itself closely

tho lono vacancy on tho important

takes over the chairmanship of tho
appropriations committee vacated
by tho death of Senator Warren of
Wyoming. Senator Johnson of
California, bocorneo tho .chairman

Culmination of Struggle
Tho reorganization contest was
regarded as a' culmination of tho
long tariff strugglo which split tho
senato republican majority three
ways. Tho western independents
boltod tho republican tariff mea
sure and combined with, tho demo
crats to rewrite the bill, confining
tho tariff increases to farm prod
ucts and pairing down down eomo
existing Industrial schedules.
With this contost well along, tho
"young guard" elements appeared.
IL agroed to confine the bill to irt
croason In rates for farm products
alone but asked that all existing in
dustrial schedules bo retained,
This offer of compromise was not
accepted by tho weatorn independ
ents but It left tho republican regu
lars who had proposed a general
upward tariff standing alone.
