I Depression And Gloom In Atmosphere Of Washington Parly (.ovcninii'iit Impi-rilla-il and (!(in^rcs? Faces AI1110-! I'rcfiM1 Situation That Ha* FimciiI Coai itinn Government ill Europe Hv l>.\V!l> l-WVltKNCK IC?)yrl|ht, 132). By Th? Advanct) Washington, December 1?Regular Republicans from Wis consin have sent word to President Coolidjie that the only way to cure the insurgency which has broken out in the House of Uepiv ser'.ntives is to throw the support of the administration to their win^' of the Republican party in the Badger State. Holding up the organization o!" the House is but a symptom of what is coming in this sess ion of Congress and the LaFol lette Republicans who have been elected by winning the party label at the primaries have de monstrated that they do not obey the will of the majority of their party. What they have been doing on a simple question of House organization is likely to be repeated on important matters of legislation. The President has boon told thai the regulars In Wisconsin have or ganized and are ready not only to 4tart contesting delegations for the next Republican national convention but are prepared to carry the tight into the Congressional* primaries so as to secure the nomination of Re publicans who will be Republicans in fact when they come to Washing ton. There is an air of confldenC?_*ibout the missionaries from the regular Republican camp. They say that in asmuch as Senator La Follette him self will not be running, his col leagues will be deprived of much of the strength which naturally went to the veteran Wisconsin Senator whose hold on the people is more personal than political. For several weeks prior to the op ening of Congress there have been rumors that the administration was flirting with the La Follette group. When It was announced, for in s^nce, that Mr. Coolidge had lnvlt-, ed Senator La Follette to confer with him. the regulars saw in that! move an effort to compromise. But! Mr. La Follette has not accepted the White House Invitation pleading ill-, liess. Meanwhile he has directed' tli* light against the regular Repub lican organization from his heme. There is a good deal of patronage to be distributed from time to time and the administration is confront ed with tlie necessity of recognizing either the regulars, who are seek ing to gain strength out of that very recognition, or the La Follette Re publicans who are already In of! Ice. The latter have shown'their hostility and the chances are the administra tion will abandon its plan of com promising with them. The cause of the rebellion Is at tributed to the rules bot the ln.-ur- j gent group knows very well that no body can assure them of a revision ' of the rules except a majority of the | \members of the House of Represen- 1 "'tative.; and that neither Mr. Gillettj nor Mr. Longworth haft the aut'ior ity to make pledges. Without stat ing what reforms they want, the In-I ?nirgents have used the rules Issue ; a> a basis for their warfare. A fusion of Democrats with Re- ? publicans would easily end the pres ent situation and make possible the! passage of needed legislation but the j !>? jnocrats are loath to .take the In 1-; tlatlve until the olive branch is held out to them by the majority party. Also the Democrats feel that if tin Republican party cannot function the country should know it and; should next time return a majority, of Democrats. The argument they' use Is that the Republican party is no longer as efficient as It claimed to be In the past and that the Dem-1 ocratic party, made up as It usually i Is of Representatives from the South and the East, Is bound to present a | united front. Radicalism has not? shown Itself In the Democratic ranks to any extent and the Democratic leaders point lo their record as proof that Democratic leadership would bo better for the country. Hut even In their anxiety to ob tain control of the House, the Dem ocrats frankly say they do not want it now. They Insist that It would be of no advantage to have the re- j sponslhllity of organizing the House! under the present circumstances and) that it is necessary lor the people to vest in the Democrats that responsl I" ' bllltv at the polls. It is"not exaguerating to say that the session of Confess has opened in an atmosphere of depression and , discouragement as party government stands Imperilled. Coalition govern ment has been compelled in Europe j under ^precise circumstances, and as I for the people who want tax reform and other important legislation the record of this Congress is likely tc .bo near to zero unless a combination 'of the Republican and Democratic membership Is forced by public ' opinion.

Twiddy UENNA HAS I.ESS TH1EYEKY 'TIS SAID Vienna. n? c. 57?-Thievery in Vien na was not as prevalent during the first five months of this year as was made to appear in a story sent out from this city last August in which erroneous figures. inadvertently used, created a wrong impression. It was the related that property of various kinds worth some 750 mil liards of paper crowns had been stol en during this period of time, and that very few Jewels were on display in the shop windows, the custom be ing regarded as unsafe. As a mat ter of fact, oareful police records show less than nine milliards of loss es. instead of 750 milliards, and the shops on the best streets of Vienna today carry a display of Jewels and fine dresses equal to the Rue de la Paix in Paris.
