Subjects Discussed.
WASHINGTON". May 22. With Re
publican Senators urging a Joint Senate
and House caucua (or immediate re
organization of the campaign commit
tee to seek the reclamation of Rpub
liean power In Congress next year
with Progressive. Repu oilcans confer
ring on plana to reconcile the divided
party and members of the National
legislative committee assembling for a
meeting; here 8aturday, Washington
became today a center of Republican
activity.
Most significant of recent party de
velopments since the defeat at the polls
last November was the conference of
Republican and Progressive Repub
lican Senators early toduy to Institute
reorganization of the Congressional
campaign committee, which House
leaders futilely have attempted for sev
eral weeks.
Thirty-one Senators attended the
conference, presided over by Senator
Galllnger. and with almost unanimous
approval a committee of five was ap
pointed to confer with House leaders
with a view to holding a Joint caucus
as soon as possible to clear away the
party difficulties.
Joist C'einmlttr Deatred.
It was the prevailing opinion of the
Senatorial conference that the Con
gressional committee should be reor
ganized at once, with representation
from the Senate as well as the House,
following the suggestion from Presi
dent Wilson adopted by the Democrats,
and that headquarters should be es
tablished, a publicity campaign Inau
gurated and definite campaign policies
outlined as early as possible.
Leaders pointed to the personnel
of this consulting committee as an In
dication of the general effort being
made to reunite the party. Its members
consisting of both Progressives and
regulara. The committee members are
Senators Galllnger, Townsend. Clark, of
Wyoming: Norrls and Jones. These
five will consult with the House Re
publicans, and expect to find no oppo
sition for a Jolnt caucus. .
Oaveattoa Plam Frearated.
The conference will outline to the
executive committee the desires of the
Progressive. Republicans for a party
convention this Fall to re-organlze the
committee and reform Its machinery
relating to the selection of delegates
snd conduct of contests. In line with
these Ideas. Senator Sherman, of Illi
nois, Introduced today in the Senate a
bill which would provide that delegates
to National conventions of ail political
parties bo elected at primaries. Under
Its terms the delegates would be chosen
according to the vote cast at the pre
ceding election for candidates of the
respective parties and the state primary
laws would govern.
The Progressive wing of the party
favors a convention for re-arrange-raent
of the apportionment with a view
to strengthening the apportionment
among Republican states. A proposition
Is urged to Increase arbitrarily the rep
resentation In the northern or to reduce
the representation In the southern
states. There Is difference of view
among the committeemen as to the
necessity or wisdom of a convention
for this purpose and some of them
' contend that the National committee It
self has power to change the apportion
ment. "ilsaoltaneotsa Conventions Provided.
The bill Introduced by Senator Sher
man today provides that all parties
shall hold their National conventions
simultaneously, beginning on the third
Monday In June, that delegates and
alternates be chosen by popular vote,
that there shall be one delegate and
one alternate for each Representative
and each Senator, and two delegates
and alternates for each Representative.
at-Large In states that cast 35,000 or
more votes for the party's Presidential
candidate In the last preceding election
and one delegate and alternate for each
Representattve-at-Large In states that
cast fewer than 25.000 votes, that pro
vision be made on ballots for a pref
erence vote on candidates ton Presi
dent and Vice-President, that a ma
Jorltv of delegates accredited to a con
vention shall nominate alternates auto
matically voting In place of delegates
that may be absent: that any political
organization that cast at least 5 per
cent of the total votes for President at
the last election shall be deemed a
party under the act.
The law would go Into effect for the
campaign of 191S.

Intimates that Pitman had been driven
to take his life by business worries.
