as possible Is the request of fresldent-elec- t Woodrow Wilson “Make the Inauguration ceremonies worthy In dignity and display of the treat victory of the Democracy" Is the dictum bf most of the Democratic leaders in Washington The local inauguration committee has been appointed and has gone to Its work energetically It la not understood that Mr Wilson’s request for means that he does not simplicity wish to have a huge parade Parades the promoters of big Inaugural events lay are representative of the people are In enjoydd by the people and So It Is Bvery way eminently proper that while the actual Inducting Into office and part of the ceremonies In which the president-elechas a per zonal place may be extremely simple It can be taken for granted that there will be a "big show” in Washington on 4 March perhaps the biggest show ever presented to the eyes of the capital residents and of tbelr visitors from a distance One of the agitating questions Just now is whether or not there Is any likelihood that Mr Wilson will carry out a he has made that he would like to walk from the executive mansion to the capitol where the ceremonies of taking the oath and of dethe Inaugural address take livering place Would Break All Precedent If Mr Wilson should walk from the White House to the capitol he would break all presidential precedents of Even Thomas JefInauguration days ferson whose course on the occasion Is always referred of his to as the acme of simplicity rode on to the capitol though virhorseback It may be said that tually unattended the streets of Washington in Jefferson’s day certainly the middles of them were In such condition that no man president or other could walk tar without becoming stuck ' In tbe mud Gov William Sulzer who took the oath of office as chief executive of 1 New York state on January broke a state precedent by walking from the executive mansion to the capitol but that walk was only a short one the day was perfect and the outgoing governor Mr Dix who had to accompany his successor to the capitol was per' It Is fectly willing to walk with him not supposed In Washington that Mr Wilson had Mr Sulzer's prededent In that he mind when hinted he might like to walk from the White House to the capitol for It Is not customary for a president to take example of a but It Is believed that the governor president-elec- t really has a desire to make the walk to the capitol if It czfa be done without having It appear that be Is straining after an effect of Dem ocratlc simplicity and thereby will overdo tbe thing and bring It pos slbly to tbe border of ridicule Mr Taft Must Be Considered the When president-elecstarts from the White House to go to the capitol he will be accompanied by the president of the United StateB for un Mr Wilson will not be president til after he has reached the big legislative building on the hill and has taken the oath of office The question Is therefore would it be proper for Mr Wilson In the capacity of presl to Insist that Mr Taft in the capacity of real president should walk the mile and a third along Penn to the capitol under avenue sylvanla weather conditions which are very likely to be bad Mr Taft Is a big man physically but contrary Jo general belief on the subIt ject he Is a good deal of a walker can be taken for granted that If Mr Wilson actually shall request Mr Taft to walk the mile and a third with him but It may be that he will acquiesce In advance some one will suggest to that the president the president-elec- t would prefer that the request be not made Still Held Up Appointments The senate Is still refusing to confirm many of President Taft’s apall the men Nearly pointments are named places for government those whose terms have Just expired and of course the Democratic senators desire that these places shall remain vacant until President-elec- t Wilson takes office and names persons of his own choosing of This matter Democratic opposition to confirmation has been of Mr Taft’s appointments pretty thoroughly discussed In previbut a new phase has ous dispatches come upon the matter within a day In the senate If the Republicans were united and all of them could be brought to attend the executive sessions of the senate the president’s could be confirmed despite appointees Democratic opposition but the Republican senators are at variance not but on tl wisdom only on legislation which Mr Taft of the appointments has made and therefore the present dominant party In the senate Is havof It trying to ing a hard time strri’hten out troubles and to Induce Ixlcan senators to line up t' on behalf of the Republican office holders whose terms bavs Just expired Threat of Retaliation Tbe new phase which has come over the matter presents Itself In the Republican threat that If tbelr Democratic brethren do not yield and show a willingness to confirm Mr Taft’s appointments there will be RepublicWilson’s an opposition of Mr apt pointments when tbe takes office Now tbe Democrats will of March tbe after have control senate 4 but by an exceedingly slender maIt may be that the jority margin Democrats will have a majority of two but it la possible that a majority of one will be all that they can muster In this case It readily can be seem that unless after March 4 all tbe Democrats are In attendance at the senate’s executive sessions the Republicans by acting together can prevent the confirmation of any appointments which they choose The threat at present extends only to a 4etermlna-tloto refuse confirmation to those of appointments Mr Wilson which are Intended to take the places those already made by Mr Taft and which the Democrats are holding up Battleships Fight Now On The yearly fight has been started In congress on the proposition to authorize the cdnstructlon of new bat- tleehips Secretary of the Navy Meyer has asked for three ships but as has been explained In previous dispatches It is probable that he asked for three In order that he might be sure to get one or possibly two Some prominent Democratic members of the house have started the fight against battleship construction on the ground that the money which thus is used would be much better Last year spent for public buildings there was no public building measure passed and as every member of congress is desirous of getting something In the shape of a public building for his district because of the prestige which such an accomplishment gives him at home it readily can be seen how strong an appeal there is In the plan for a big public building appropriation Can Wilson Control Senate? When Woodrow Wilson first became an announced candidate for the nomination of his party for the contest be- -' presidency the came In racing parlance "Wilson against the field’’ It might seem at first thought that this was not the case because Champ Clark had more votes among the delegates than Mr Wilson but from the very beginning of the struggle there was a feeling apparent in Democratic circles that before the contest ended In the convention hall a combination of the field would be necessary to defeat ' Wilson It is seers t beeverybody's cause the whole matter has been laid bare In previous Washington disWilson t that patches Is more concerned over the senate’s probable attitude toward his policies than be Is over any other possible opposition either from a party or s legislative source The question therefore which Mr Wilson’s strongest Democratic supporters are trying to answer is whether the Democratic senators who were with “the field” and opposed to Mr Wilson’s cant dldacy because of his supposed radical tendencies will Join with the proto give his poll gressive Democrats cles the force and effect of legislation Absolutely united Democratic senate support will be needed if tbe coming president Is to have things done as he wants them done There are several Democratic senators who were opposed to Mr Wilson as a candidate for the nomination! who are making a brave showing of loyalty and the Wilson Democrats lieve that this loyalty will stand the test when support Is asked for policies which some of the conservative senators Democratic hitherto have held as being entirely too radical to become tbe law of the land No Certainty of United Support Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia who was' supposed during the campaign to have Harmon leandoing his best to help ings Is along a plan of Democratic organization of the senate whlcb will give Mr Wilson the support which will be If his legislation is to be necessary sanctioned in the way that he wants There are other It sanctioned who prior to the Democratic convention were for Clark or Underwood or Harmon who to day are saying that they will stand firmly in sup- port of anything which Mr Wllsou recommends if they believe that back of it is the will of the party There are still other senators of the conservative type who have made no promises of support concerning the reform of the currency downward revision of the tariff or In the forms In which it is believed Mr Wilson will ask congress to deal with these questions The Democrats in the senate therefore are not yet quite certain whether the new administration is to have plain sailing for Its policy ship through the waters of the senate Every effort is being made personally now among tbe Democratic senator who will hold over into the next conwith gress and by correspondence new Democratic senators who are to take their seats on March 4 to force an understanding In advance on the subject of a general Hue of progres- 3lve legislation A Hard Choice d “What did tbe trust magnate clde to do for bla health?” “He has not made up his mind whether to take the hot baths abroad or the Immunity bath at home" ' |
