INSURGENT OIiSTINGi
MAY MPE TWO
POLITICAL PBITIES
RY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Special Leased Wire to The Journal—Copy
right, 1024.)
■WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.—Politi
cal history has just been made by
the group of 32 Republican senators
who adopted a resolution endeavor
ing to “read out of the party” the
four Republican senators who did not
support President Coolidge in the
last election.
Although there are many “old
guard” leaders who doubted the wis
dom of the step when first proposed
and would have preferred to let
well enough alone, now that the
action has been taken, men who at
tended the conference are a unit in
declaring they w'll not vote to admit
Senator La Follette, of Wisconsin,
Senators Ladd and Frazier of North
Dakota and Senator Brookhart, of
lowa, to any future party confer
ences or to fill any vacancies that
may occur in con mittee chairman
ships.
Here are some of the effects which
now may be expected to flow from
the declaration of war on the in
surgents.
1 — The ostracized senators will
form a group of their own and at
tempt to revive the coalition of last
session with the Democrats. Such a
combination can deadlock govern
ment for the next three months and
compel the calling of an extra ses
sion of congress.
2 The Repunlican national party
organization will be compelled to
furnish funds for fights to be made
at primaries in the future by regu
lars who wish to oppose men like
Frazier and Ladd. And there are in
dications that plenty of money will
be forthcoming from conservative
strongholds like New York and Penn
sylvania where the menace of the
radicals has been widely advertised.
3 The “Progressive” Republicans
like Senator Norris, of Nebraska,
Borah, of Idaho, Johnson, of Cali
fornia, and perhaps Senator Howell,
of Nebraska, who do not like the ac
tion of the party conference will
have to decide whether they will
join LaFollette, Frazier, Ladd and
Brookhart or go with the regulars.
Senators Shipstead and Magnus
Johnson, of Minnesota, have never
used the Republican label, always
classing themselves as of the Famer-
Labor party.
4 Acts of reprisals are being con
sidered b ythe La Follette Republi
cans who have the power to upset
the organization of the house of rep
resentatives if they can get the Dem
ocrats to join them.
What Will Democrats Do
The most important question that
has arisen, therefore is: "What shall
the Democrats do about it?”
Senator Smoot and others who
have been talking informally with
Democratic senators say that the
latter are tired of combining with
the LaFollette group. In the last
election the La Follette movement
split the Democratic party and
ruined what chance the Democrats
did have in at least eight states
where Mr. Coolidge was a plurality
choice. Also the La Follette cam
paign diverted attention from the
campaign of John W. Davis and
drove thousands of conservative
Democrats into the Republican
camp. Under such circumstances
little love is lost bewteen the Demo
crats and the insurgent Republi
cans.
Politics, however, makes strange
bedfellows. And expediency is a
stronger influence than logic. The
Democrats need the strength of the
La Follette voters to build up their
own party. The Republican party is
avowedly conservative. The Demo
crats have a conservative wing, too,
which will resist any alliance with
the La Follette group, yet in the last
session of congress the Democratic
conservatives joined time and again
with the La Follette senators for
party reasons.
The same may be expected to
happen again; A minority usually
does all it can to embarrass a ma
jority.
Out of it may emerge a new Demo
cratic party which slowly places its
conservative constitutents in the
minority. Much as the Democratic
conservatives may dislike the radi
cals, they may turn from Republican
primary machinery and enter Demo
cratic contests. The purpose of the
La Follette group heretofore has
been to reform the Republican party
from within.
The action of the Republican con
ference of senators indicates that so
far as the upper house of congress
is concerned the effort is a failure.
Challenge to Democrats
Now the radicals can take up the
task of making the Democratic party
suit their ideas of government. The
Republican conservatives will not
be disturbed by that as they havd*
wanted for some time to see radi
cals and conservatives classified in
two parties. Will the solid south,
which has upon many occasions sent
conservative Democrats to the sen
ate who differ only in name from con
servative Republicans permit the
Democratic party to become the
liberal or radical party? The last
election has left the leaders of the
Democratic party demoralized. The
Republican senatorial conference
tosses the LaFollette Republicans
into the arms of the Democrats and
challenges them to take the radicals
unto their bosom a*nd make the fight
between radicalism and conserva
tism.
Unless the LaFollette Republicans
fight back in the coming session of
congress the action of the Republic
an conference has no immediate ef
fect on committee chairmanships be
cause the organization of congress
remains the same and there will be
no rearrangement of committees till
the new congress meets in December,
1925. or in extra session after March
4. But the action is not a gesture.
It's the beginning of a political
battle which may reshape the two

DEMOCRATS NOT TO OBSTRUCT
IMPORTANT ACTION—ROBINSON’
: WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.—Senate
j Democrats have no intention of ob
structing action in the coming con
gress on any measure of general im
portance which can be fairly consid
ered, Senator Robinson, of Arkansas,
the minority loader, declared Satur
day upon his arrival here from his
home state.
He added that the Democratic or
ganization would co-operate in tne
passage of the appropriation bills.
Senator Robinson said it was in
cumbent on the Republican majority
to formulate the legislative program,
and that the Democrats would not
assume the initiative unless public
necessity required. The minority
leader added, however, that it was
(not to be expected that many meas
ures of general importance would be
acted upon finally at the short ses
sion opening Monday.
“The indications are,” he said,
“that among the subjects which will
receive attention are farm relief leg
islation, including co-operative mar
! keting, the transportation act as it
' relates to the adjustment of labor
i disputes, rate making and freigh.
schedules. It is doubtful whether
I any of these will be brought to a con
clusion.
It is anticipated that an effort will
be made to dispose of the Muscle
Shoals project, and the policy of
completing this project by the gov
ernment seems to be gaining sup
; port.
“Further tax reductions can hard
ily be accomplishe 1 in the immediate
! future, owing to the condition of the
revenues, but this subject undoubt
edly will be revived in the early I 1-
ture.
“It is not practical to anticipate
the emergencies which may change
the outlook for legislation in the
short but the foregoing
soerrs a fair outline at present.’’
REPUBLICAN ACTION
APPROVED BY BERGER
MIT. WAUKEE, Wis„ Nov. 29.
Victor L. Berger, representative in
congress, who leaves here today for
Washington, expressed the belief
that the Republican party had acted
properly in reading Senators I.a
Follette, Ladd, Frazier and Brook
hart out of the party.
“The senators barred by the
j Washington caucus have made
| speeches in which they charged
| that the Republican party is cor
rupt, operated as an enemy of the
common people, the farmers and the
workers, said Mr. Berger.
“They have done all they could
do to defeat the Republican party.
Now, I agree with what they have
said, hut on the other hand, the
■ Republicans have a right to their
opinions and to their own organiza
tion.
“'There is just as much cause and
I reason to keep Senator La Follette
out of a Republican caucus as
! there has been to keep me out, if I
! claimed to be a Republican.”
