Jan. 24.--The Morning | | Echo, Senator C. Smith’s paper, touching | | the question as 1o a caucus, reuve (o choosing a United States Senator by the Legislature, will say in the morning: “A question very frequently asked s, | Will there be a party caucus on the Sen. atorial question when the Legislature meets? This question no member of the Legislature should undertake to answer | until he has conferred with other mem- bers and learned the probable result of | such a meeting. In some of the Eastern States the holding of a caucus has heen | so long the practice that it has become well nigh a party rule. But such is not the case in the West. It is recalled that in 189 the very men who are now clamoring for a caucus refused to attend one or al- low thelr political followers to attend. Colonel Burns, for instance, was opposing Senator Perkins and none of his “Burns” followers attended the caucus because they knew that Perkins would control it. During the last session the Democrats frequently held conferences, but they very seldom came out of them a unit for the day's vote. From all the party his- tory in this State it may be concluded that a caucus is a matter of expediency, a meeting to be attended if you think you can win or if you are not very particular which side wins; but from which one may absent himself if its result is likely to be particularly objectionable to him or his constituents. This, as we have said, is mot the Eastern idea of a caucus, it {1s the Western practice, and there is no reason why any member should feel | bouna to follow the Eastern and not the Western Idea at this time. | A conference of all the Republican members there sbould be and when all are on the ground they may conclude that it is wise to take a caucus vote on the Senatorship. But no such vote should be taken except With a full attendance |Commercial PAYNE SUBSIDY BILL INDORSED BY NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADE in Favor of Governmental Assistance Men Declare in the Upbuilding of the Merchant Marine of the United States.
