The reorganization process has just be- gun in Alabama but no will be lost to perfect it. The same is true of Texas where Mr. Roosevelt has National Hawley. In Missouri, Mr. Roosevelt is deferring his decision in the Ker- ens Hitchcock controversy but it is alleged that whichever faction corner out squarely with a pledge of support in the next presidential convention will be declared the winner. In Illinois he has secured pledges from a large number the leading republicans and probably the entire republican machine, although it has not been bis policy to show his band bat to move quietly and deliberately hot with certain aim so that before be has been in the White House a year he may feel relieved from all easiness because of the existence of the machine which twice nominated Mr. and was scheduled to nominate Mr. Marcus Hanna in I have it authority that the President score a masterstroke by the regard to reciprocity with Cuba in his forthcoming message He will, I am told, attempt to steer between the Scylla of the high protectionists and the Char- of the Oxnard faction and at the same time gain the Golden Apple of Sugar Trust favor by recommending a material in the tariff rates on raw Cu- ban sugar.

The Senate caucus determined to reduce democratic on the committees by adoption new rules. Heretofore republicans have content with a majority of one on all committees but under the new rules the democrats will be completely burred from on a number of commit tees among them agriculture, finance, civil service, education, labor, Philippines, pen- post etc. This is, course, a serious of the rights of the minority but there is nothing democrats tun do but abide by the rule of the majority reflect that it comes to explaining their mistakes to the country the republicans will have only themselves to blame.
