WASHINGTON. D. C. March 31
Although there will be an insurg
ent fight in the senate between now
nnd tbo end of the present session
of congress, there will be no fire
works, snch as. accompanied the re
cent uprising in the house agauibi
the rales. Thus is the state of nf
fnirs according to statements oi
senate leaders today.
In the senate the insurgent fight
will bo brought oat when administra
tion measures are up for discussion.
Theso measures, supposed to repre
sent the platform ideas of tho Re
publicans, will be attacked by the in
surgent senators in debate, and they
will fight hotly for such changes as
thoy think necessary to make them
nearer their idea of what has been
promised tho people.
The progressives in the senate
have the same inspiration for war
fare as thoso in the hoase, but con
ditions in the senate are not such as
call for the mode of warfare waged
by the representatives. Thero is no
issue regarding rules. The influence
thnt controls the senate is moro sub
tle and not so clearly concentratized
as Canon's power in the honse, there
fore the fight will be made ns an at
tack on reactionary measures.
While the Democratic representa
tives stood solidly in lino with Re
publican insurgents to bring about
revolution in the house, nothing of
the sort could be accomplished, oven
if there wan occasion for such a
combination in tho senate.
Those who are familiar with sen
ate affairs declaro that in the event
of n close voto on an Aldrich meas
uro, Aldrich could probably summon
some Democratic votes. The fisurg
ents, they sny, could not.
No organization has been perfect'
cd by the sennto progressives and no
effort has been made to ngreo on a
program. The progressives in the
sennto differ so in their views that
it would bo impossible to ngreo on a
program.
The future fights of the insurgents
in the sennte will be mado along tho
same lines ns tho60 so for conduct
ed. The first wns on the postal sav
ings bank bill, nnd was successful.
