OREGONIAJf NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. April i. The progressive Dmo
crats of the Senate, having demon
strated that they absolutely dominate
their party ' caucus, ara now desirous
thst the country shall know they domi
nate the Senate and shape Its policies.
IJke their progressive brethren who
recently cut loose from the Republl
csn party, the progressive Democrats
are good advertisers and are becoming
expert at the publicity business.
Recent conferences between Presi
dent Wilson and Senator Kern, one of
the progressive Democratic leaders in
the Senate, were followed by the an
nouncement that the President la de
sirous that the progressives shall con
trol the committees of the Senate and
especially dominate those committees
whose chairmen are not of the pro
gressive faction. It was furthermore
announced that the progressive Demo
crats will take charge of these com
mittees and wrest from the chairmen
the power ordinarily reposing In them,
rbalrasaa'a Power Exaggerated.
This latter announcement Is pure
buncombe. The chairman of a com
mittee of the Senate has no power be
yond that of any member of the com
mittee, save the power to call his com
mittee together, and when It comes to
the transaction of business the chair
man Is no more Influential than the
last member of the minority: he has
only one vote, and his chairmanship
gives him no prerogatives not enjoyed
by every other member of hia commit
tee. When the Democratic membership of
Senate committees was agreed to by the
steering committee and later approved
by the Democratic caucus the progress
ives took good care to see that they
held the balance of power on all im
portant committees, and when they
hold this balance of power It makes no
difference whether the chairmen be
progressives or conservatives. It Is
this power resulting from a majority
of the membership that gives the pro
gressives control and there Is nothing
to the report that the progressives are
going to rob the chairmen of their
power. Being In the majority, the pro
gressives will merely go ahead to re
port measures acceptable to the pro
gressive members on the committees
and that Is all there Is about It.
nraeoratle Breaea aeenaa Probable.
There Is Just one possibility that this
programme may be upset in some in
stances. If. as sometimes seems prob
able, an open breach develops between
tne two factions of the Democratic
party In tha Senate, the conservative
clement may tire of the domineering
course of the progressive element and
form an alliance with the Republican
minority and such a combination as this
would wrest control of practically every
Senate committee from the progressive
Democrats and give it to a conserva
tive Democratic-Republican combina
tion. Such a combination might be
made in some of the more Important
committees, and It will be all the more
likely to be brought about If the pro
gressive Democratic Senators persist
In boasting of their power and of the
way they are going to compel the con
servatives to fall in line.
There is little effort at present to
reconcile the two Democratic factions
tn the Senate, and the Ill-feeling that
developed when the Senate was organ
ised has not subsided tn any appreci
able degree. Some little thing may
happen early in the special session to
vtart open hostilities between pro
irresslves and conservatives, and If the
firht bresks out afresh It may mean
disaster tn the Democratic legislative
programme.

President Firm for Free Sugar.
President Wilson stands llrmly for
a rate of one cent a pound on sugar
and the removal of all duty after three
years. This is his 'final determination
and he Is confident that a single tariff
measure with such a provision can
pass.
This Information came from White
Hnnu officials late tonight. It dis
poses of the various. alternatives which
hitherto have been under consideration.
The President has been reported as
saying that unless the sugar men from
Louisiana accepted the one-cent pro
posal, he would Insist on free sugar
at once. They suggested to him that
they would accept the one-cent rate
provided at the end of three years he
use his discretion as to whether the
duty should be removed.
To all the proposals tha President
f. nrenared to make one answer that
he believes a one-cent rata should be
Imposed, so that sugar-growers can
adjust their business, and after three
years sugar should be on the free list.
Reports Sarprtae VTIlsoa.
The President. It waa learned today,
has read with considerable surprise re
porta that he nad actually written
parts of the tariff bill. -or that he had
forced any agreements with commit
tees of Congress. He declared he had
simply been asked to make suggestions
and had cheerfully done so, that the
bill la tha work of Congress and that
his part In It had been that of coun
selor and adviser. "
It is known, too. that the President
desires to give equal consideration to
the leaders in both houses of Con
gress in seeing that party pledges are
carried out.

from the time the college glee club

Although every number was received

ent demands for encores were answered,
the reception accorded the esthetic
dances glvaa by Miss Miriam Thayer,
professor ot pnysicai eaucaiion iur

ovation. Her first number. "The Dance
of the Water Nymph." g4ven under the
spotlight, was so realistic and so ar
tistically done as to call forth the even
more popular 'Spanish dance with cas
tanets. Mrs. C L Lewis read In her Inimi

selection from Shakespeare's "As You

precedents of more than a century
President Wilson will appear In the
halls of Congress on Tuesday to de

much comment among the Congression

It was suggested tonight that the
Senate might go over to the House

Pennsylvania and the other House
Democratic leaders, that they might

The President believes he can get In
closer touch with the members of both
houses of Congress by personally ex
pressing his views to them. In addi

the House, which will become a matter
of White House policy, the President
will take advantage of these visits to
hold conferences with the party leaders
in Congress.
MlanadeTataadlav Vot Feared.
The President has been told by his
friends that such a procedure Is fraught
with embarrassment unless he tactfully
keeps to bis purpose of merely giving
advice to the leaders of his party and
offering suggestions to those with
whom he confers. Those who have dis
cussed this with him say be is con
vinced that Congress will not misun
derstand his Intentions; that he will go
to the Capitol in a spirit of friendly
co-operation so that there may be at
all times a unanimity of purpose be
tween the executive and the legislative
departments of the Government.
Tbe Senate has organised already lor
the new Congress and Its session will
be a mere routine meeting. Immediate
