Democrats Not Harmonious Senator Smoot said tho Democrats were not always harmonious. "For example," ho said, "they displaced Senator llacon, tho senior Democratic senator, from tho position to which ho was rightfully entitled. Tho same may ho said of Senator Martin and also of Senator Tillman, whoso services serv-ices entitled him to tho chairmanship of tho appropriations committee Many others havo suffcrod a llko fate, showing that tho radicals are doing things in tho Scnato." Tho Wilson cabinet, as n wholo Is composed ot strong men, In tho opinion opin-ion of Senator Smoot, but tho senator sena-tor maintains that Judgment ot tho admlnlstrllon must ho suspended till lator. "The cahlnot," ho says, "I bo-Hove bo-Hove will tend toward making tho administration a success.

Sorry About Fate of Bill "I wag sorry that 1'resldcnt Tnft was compelled to veto tho sundry civil ci-vil appropriation bill which eonUlnod nmong many other things nn appropriation appro-priation for a $2r,000 fish culture station sta-tion for Utah. I think, however, thnt the hill will bo taken up In the House at this next session and passed, pass-ed, with cortaln objectlonablo class legislation left out. "An appropriation of ""nn for Instructing and equipping tho Uto Indians so they may bo given better agricultural changes Is ono or tho bills In which I am lutcrected and which I hope will bo paBsol. ' During yesterday Senator Smoo had a short conference with Governor Gover-nor Spry on tho work of tho legislature legisla-ture which adjourned last week. The extra session of Congress convenes Tuesday, April 7, and tho senator expects ex-pects to leave for Washington dur-ng dur-ng tbo latter part of thlg week to arrange his comtnlttco work. Senator Smoot believes this extra session will consume tho greater part of the summer. |
