Sénators who have their eyes on the majority floor leadetshfp, made vacant by tlie defeat of ‘Setiator’ Kern, are loath to take the | office of pro tempore. Strangely enough, the disposition seems to be to avoid an office instead of seeking it; because senators realize that the man who .becomes: president pro tempore ig out 9f the race for the floor lead- ership. There have been some inii- cations that: the gituation might be solved by giving the office of presi- dent pro tempore to Senafor, Gorman, who. retires: with the end of the con- gress. --This, it is pointed out, would be a compliment to the retiring sen- ator, and would leave ail the candi- dates for the leadership free to enter the contest. It is generally conceded that, while the important appropria- tion bills for the fiscal year will oc- cupy most of the time between now and adjournment, much general legia- lation on the administration program would be urged.
