CHICAGO. June I. David W. Mul

but that ha expected th action of the

lecting Senator Root for the place
would be approved by the complete

"A fight over the temporary chair

I certain." said Mr. Mulvan. "How-
aver, I now feel confident that the work
of the sub-committee on arrangement
In naming Senator Root as temporary
chairman will be approved by the com
plete membership of the National com
mittee." Colonel Harry 8. New, of Indianapolis,
chairman of the sub-committee on ar
rangements, said tonight that It would
be physically Impossible to take care
of about 4000 newspapers which within
the last few days have Indicated a de
sire to be accommodated with seats

"Originally there were 434 press
seats." said Colonel New. "That num
ber has been Increased to SS4 and that
I th final limit. The allotment all
bave been made and there will be no
addition or changes from thl time
on. Within th laat few days I have
been deluged with requests for seats
from newspapers In all sections of the
country. My secretary tells me thst
these additional requests total about
4000. It la simply beyond humsn means
to accommodate these papers."
It was raportsd tonight that when

The situation Is unique and pnxxllng

those most concerned. There Is little
talk now of a third candidate. Many
of those favoring President Taft would
gladly turn toward a third man. but
they say the moment compromise is
suggested many of the Taft delegates
would swarm to Mr. Roosevelt. As a
result they declare they must "stick

That Mr. Roosevelt will bolt If the

manship of i'rye Not Found
In Present Body.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, June 1. When, on March 4.
111. the Taft Administration comes to
a close, no less than 16 United States
Senators who saw Mr. Taft take the
oath of office In the Senate Chamber
on that stormy and memorable March
4. 190S. will have pasaed out of public
life. Twenty-eight of the number are
already gone. Some have died, others
were retired by will of their constitu
encies or their State Legislatures, and
others retired voluntarily.
It Is doubtful If any Administration
has witnessed so many changes In .the
United states Senate. Certainly no
Administration has seen so may men
of power and prominence eliminated
from the greatest legislative body In
the United States. For among those
who will be missed when a new Presi
dent Is Inaugurated are the men who,
at the beginning of Mr. Taft'r Adminis
tration, were actually In charge of the
Senate, and rightfully known as th
managers of that body.
"Old Guard" Haa rasard.
The Taft Administration has wit
nessed the passing of the "Old Guard."
that group of Senator who for year
were all-powerful. It haa seen the Re
publican majority of the Senate dwin
dle from 27 to seven; It has seen the
"progressives" Increase their number
from eight to 13, but, what is more
Important, has seen 14 Democrats take
the place held by Republicans four
year ago. A gain of eight seats by
the Democrats will change the politi
cal complexion of the Senate by March
4. next, and such a change Is not at all
Improbable.
In some respects and In soma In
stances the Senate unquestionably Is
tne gainer by changes thst have oc
curred. In other Instances the reverse
Is true. And until all the new member
have had a full and fair try-out It
would be unjust to attempt to strike a
balance. The fact remains, however,
that some of the most powerful men
the Senate haa ever known have passed !
out of public life since Mr. Taft be- ,
came President, and. measured by (
Kjuiie, inese men nave uo equals
among those who have comn to don
the toga.
A Id rich Most Iaflaeatlal ef AIL
Heading the list of those who have
retired stands Nelson W. Aldrlch. prob
ably the most Influential man who ever
sat In the United Slates Senste. In
his prime Aldrlch was Justly entitled
to be called the general manager of the
Senate, for In fact that Is what he was.
Aldrlch Is among those who retired
voluntarily, but he went at a time when
his power was waning, and his control
wa virtually lost. . He could have re
mained had he so desired; but lie could
no longer have been boss. A most capa
ble man succeeded Senator Aldrlch
Mr. Lippltt but he Is not a second Al
drlch. and does not sepire to fill the
place left vacant by hla renowned pre
decessor. With Aldrlch retired Senator Hale,
of Maine, aecond only to Aldrlch In au
thority and In power. Both were Sena
tors of long service, and both largely
owed their power to the fact that they
were kept In the Senate term after
terra. Unlike Aldrlch, however. Hale
probably could not have been returned.
for his state unexpectedly went Demo
cratic, and hi successor 1 of that i
faith. Hale's voluntary retirement Is
but another tribute tu his political acu
men. He saw a storm coming, and
avoided It. Hale's colleague, the re
spected Senator Frye, wa called by
death, and he, too, -has been succeeded
by a Democrat.
Keaa's Ability Misapplied.
Closely identified with the AUlrlch
Hale machine, but little known out
side of Washington, was Senator Kea.i,
ot New Jersey, a keen, cunning and
adroit politician, useful to Aldrlch and
detrimental to those who opposed htm.
Kean had ability which the country
never recognised; It was spplled in a
poor cause, and ha has given way to
a Democrat, who owes hi office to
Woodrow Wilson. Kean Is among those
who will not be missed.
Not a few who are gone, however,
have been missed. Their deaths or re
tirements can be regarded in the na
ture of calamities. In this class was
the brilliant Dolllver, of Iowa, than
whom the Senate of late has seen no
more accomplished orator or deeper
student Senator Daniel, of Virginia,
who also died In office, was the last
of the Democratic statesmen of the old
school brilliant, lovable snd Influen
tial. Klklns, a third to die in offlco.
while Identified wth the Aldrch ma
chine, accomplished much In the way
of useful legislation, and left behind
him an Important Interstate-commerce
act which bears ills nsme.

but not brilliant, and not lesders. In '
thl list Is to be found the names of

But the list of those who will retire
on March 4. nest. Is also Interesting.
It Is headed by Benator Crane, ot Mas
sachusetts, who recently announced bis
purpose to retire. Next In Importance
comes Bailey of Texas, who haa made
a similar announcement, as has Gug
genheim of Colorado. Primaries re
cently held have determined that Sena
tor Bourne, ot Oregon; Senator Brown,
of Nebraska, and Senator Cullom, of
Illinois, will not be returned, and the
primary fight In Pennsylvania fore
shadows the defeat of Senator Penrose.
Dlzea Scheduled Retire.
Likewise, the recent fight In Mon
tana seems to foredoom Senator Dixon,
the manager of the Roosevelt cam
paign, to defeat if h seeks re-election.
This complete, the list ot It.
But one will search In vain among
the names of those who bave come Into
office by reason of the foregoing va
cancies for any who thus tar has given
promise of attaining fam la th Sen
ate. There may be som among them
destined to accomplish great thing,
but not on among th number ha yet
reached great helrhta, even In the
field of oratory. There has developed
no successor to Aldrlch as a leader; no
successor to Dolllver aa an orator: no
successor to Fry a legislator. Tim
may bring some of these young Sena
tors to the iront, but'not many seem
destined o achieve unusual distinction.
