OPENED YESTERDAY
C( ucnses Have Removed Obstacles
Whlih Threateqjed Trouble. An
Vqual Suffrage Amendment is First
n~' Order.
\ ashington, Dec. 5.-On the eve of
the sixty fourth congress Washington
tonight was enlivened by the arrival
of hundreds of visitors attracted by
the opening of congress, the conven
tion of the Congressional Union or
Woman Suffrage, which begins ton~ r
row and the meeting of the National
Democratic committee Tuesday.
House and senato Democrats com
pleted their organization plans yes
terday after a week of deliberation
during which obstaclep which threat
ened to disturb the harmonious open
ing were overcome. The senate Dem
ocrats agreed not to make the fight for
a cloture rule a party issue and the
house majority found a way to take
care of the greatly increased republi
can minority on committees. Legisla
ive issuqs did ,ot Mure matedpily
In tile preliminary conferences, hi
though the subjects of national do
fAnse and extension of American mer
chant marine were generally recog
nized as paramouuit in the delibera
tions over committee assignments.
Both houses will convene at noon.
In the lower branch the ifst order of
business will be the selection of a
speaker. Champ Clark 1fill be noini
fiated by the majority (229) for re
election and Representative. Mann of
Illinois, will be proposed by the Re
publicans (197).
Speaker Clark, whose reelection
with the other majority nominees for
house 6fflices is assured upon taking
the chair, will rec6gnize Representa
tive Frank -Mondell, of Wyoming.
This will signalize a demonstration for
woman suffrage, the Wyoming mem
ber having been chosen to introduce
the Susan B. Anothy constitutional
amendment for equal suffrage as the
first resolution of the new congress.
The speake''s gallery will be crowded
II
With Wom .
jn the Shnate.
The senate wilf convne with Vice
President Marshall absent, -owing to
the illness of Mrs. Marshall. It will
bjo called to order by Secretary Baker
and the first business -will be the in
iuguration of newly elected members,
to be followed., immediately by the
Alection of a .president pro tempore.
Senator James P. Clarke, of Arkan
aas, will be elected to succeed himself,
having been nominated by the Demo
cratic caucus last week. Republican
senators plan to nominate Senator
Gallinger, of New Hampshire, who
will continue as minority leader.
In both houses there will be the us
ual flood of new bills introduced.
Among them will be various measures
on the subject of national defense and
the attendant problem for raising~ in
cretased revenue. There also will be
the government merchant marine bill
prepared after conferences between
Secretary McAdoo and -Secretary Red
field. In these will center chief inter
lst3of 'the Session, and they will be
clieussed by tile President when he
addresses' the Joint eston on Tueday.
Other important measures to be
aonsidored include rural credits
neindments to the Sherman laws to
xid American firms in extending for
Dign trade, the Philippine bills, conser
vation, and tariff problems.
' It is almost certain that the war
tax will be reenacted and amended
and the income tax revised.
Oie ground for more optimistic
feeling- among administration leaders
Is the turn that affairs have taken in
the senate toward a merchant marine
bill. Now that a measure has been
proposed which would build up gov
ernment merchant marine as an auxil
lary to the navy, several Democratic
senators, among them Senator Clarke,
of Arkansas, who fought the ship pur
chase bill to death at the last session,
have said they would favor such a
measure.
The six Progressives of the house
today decided not to attempt a I)arty
organization now. Each will act ac
cording to his individual views with
oit reference to party.
