Opposition of democratic senators to
the confirmation of President Taft's
1500 pending appointments has
brought some republican senators in-
to a position of threatening retalia-
tion after the beginning of the demo-
cratic administration on March 4.
The proposal is being discussed in
the republican cloak room and has
been broached in the republican cau-
cus and executive session of the Sen-
ate. e
Senator Smith of Michigan, is the
principal speaker in each instance.
Senator Smith advocates, a policy
of obstruction of all nominations
made by Governor Wilson. He said
he would go so far even as to oppose
cabinet nominations.
Some republican senators declare
that blocking Wilson’s appointments
will mean checking tariff legislation
of the extra session. 1
Senator Smith declared in execu-
tive session that the course of the
democrats has been inspired by Wil-
eon.
