THE REGULARS ARE , UNABLE TO RETALIATE il. 0. 1*. SENATORS (A.WOT HOLD . I P WILSON APPOINTMENTS. t ? * Present Demoeratie Minority in Senate Sfpms Safe in HoMioer l*p Tait Jl Appointments. l Washington, Jan. 2S.?If. as now j seenis likely, the Democrats in the stn- ! ate hold up until this administration j is fnded, almost all of the civil uoinif nations made by President T.it't since in? beg: ming of th- ] resent x<i-{ l.nal session of the t>2d congress, will the Republican senators be able to retal_ iate with equal force by blocking the j ^ ^nominations of Prc-ildent Wilson? j They claim that they .will. This question has the proble j>-solv- j ers hard at work. There is a co .stant j buzz of arguments on the subject among those who delight in watching the political gam* as it is played at ~ T> ? ! the capitol and the YVHite Mouse, rvt- . publican patronage experts are saying! for the benefit of the newspaper men \ L who seek their confidence that the j I hold-up policy apparently adopted by th*j Democrats with regard to Mr. Taft's late appointments is sure to be , like the chickens that come home to j roost, or the cat that persistently rs- j turns to the dwelling where it is not j desired. However, it is inconceivable that the' i conafnrs mCSt Of whom | L/CUlUV/i UtlV^ UVilkVW. w, are wise in politics from long experi-; ^ 'n?e, would block so many of these j Ij^^eleventh-hour Taft nominations if it! were ;o easy for the Republicans to ; ^ retaliate when they change places with the Democrats as the senate min- i ority. Why is it that the Democratic! senators are not abasned by the s?en^-1 inglv clear argument that the Repub-; lican minority will be in just as good .> a position to tie the patronage up alter Maich 4 as the Democratic minorI . ity is able to tie it up until March 4?, Insurgent Republcans the Answer, j Hi The answer is found in the attitude W of the insurgent Republicans, who J now hold the be' * ce of party power in the senate ant ve held it for the past two years. jn-e of these -senators have even gon<e so far as to waive all claim to being Republicans. Others, like Senator Cummins, of Iowa, j still assert that they are members of! that party, although they supported i "? Tact ! Kooseveit ror presuuem <X< Uixc ***v~ , election. I Because of this split in the Republican ranks the situation in the sen- i ate at the close of the Taft adminis- j tration is not by any means an exact: opposite of what the situation will be at the beginning of the Wilson administration. Mr. Taft has not the united ) support of a majority in the senate i in matters of patronage. Mr. Wilson will have the united support of a ma- j l. jority unless some of the Democrats ?--bolt their party caucus. Even in the latter event, which, if it comes at all ^ is likely to be postponed until some n time after the new administration 1 opens, there is a good possibility that enough Republican insurgents will side with President Wilson (rather than go with the hated Republican regulars) to offset the loss. But for the attitude of the Republican insurgents, it would hardly have ~ Wn possible for tht Democratic minority in the senate to hold up the Taft nominations in bulk at this session; and even if it had been possible it might not have been wise, b^c-ause / the Democratic majority after March 4 will be so precarious that the illness - niiailr turn or one or c v> u ycmwiuw ? ? the scale of control. In this connec tion the recent invitation of one of the insurgent Republican hcuse leaders, Congressman Kent, of California, to discuss with the president-elect, at Trenton, the question of conservation f is most significant. Senator LaFoJlette and those who follow his leader ship are much more friendly to the incoming than to the outgoing administration. Capital Horizou Full of Suiirasettes. Presid-ent-elect Wilson's laudable course in eliminating the affair known as the inaugural ball, which was con* j?onohU Wa<shinptnn "tn set raUfLCU IV 0 ^ its money back," and the decision of the senate Democrats against the suggestion of a great public reception in the capitol building, will by no means cause the inaugural period to be without spectacular interest in addition to the ceremony of the oath-taking and the official parade. The "suffragettes" will inorf than ^ make up for any deficiency in the program. It is certain that the women who militantly dtsire to vote will fur - *- - x tho \forAh niSn ai waautugivii vn mv w?. ? the most impressive demonstration ever ma'ie in America, in behalf of their cause. At'ter having been refused permission by :he inaugural con raittee to get into the regular inauguration proceedings, th- suffragettes, championed by ablj and resolute spo^^men. have won the privihs^ of ' , . erecting stance ol their own m a nnsl a:Ivantag ous location.

Woman suffragists w iv at first re filled permission by the superintendent of police to march along Pennsylva ia avenue, on the ground that their parade would tend to create disorderly conduct on the part of the ribald misses along' tli= lin-^; but there was so much criticise of this decision that Major Sylvester, possibly Dy tlie advice of the president himself, chang-d his attitude and granted the desired permit. There is pretty general agreement that instead of being inspired to ribaldry by the suffrage parade, the beholders would be "struck with aw?" (as same Washington business man naively put it in an interview.) Senator Overman's Loaded Sinecure. By the way, the committee on woman suffrage, of wiiich Senator Overman, of North Carolina, is chairman, is one of the numerous s-enate committfes which have been regarded in the past as sinecures. The primary reason for the existence of these committees is to see that every senator gets a chairmanship of some sort, and in the long period of Republican ascendency the distribution of the nominal honors has been chiefly among the Democrats. The committee on the Five Civilized Tribes, for in staiioe, lias never iieia a meeting, oui it has two rooms in the capitol, which make its chairmanship worth while, (to say nothing of the committee clerkship.) To return to the woman suffrage committee of the senatf, it is o.y.e that bids fair to become exceedingly interesting in the nsar future; and th-3 handsome Xorth Carolinian, who is the chairman of it and who happens to be opposed to giving woman the. ballot, is doubtless breathing more easily at th? prospect of taking the chairmanship of claims, conservation, fisheries, rules, or one of the otlur committees among which he may make his choice after March 4.
