met today to begin Its part In the free-for-all
political and legislative struggle
which will mark the first session of the
Sixty-fourth Congress. Clerk Baker called
the Senate to order In the absence of Vice
President Marshall, and Senator Martin,
or Virginia, acting as president pro tern.,
swore In Senators who today began new
terms. The Democrats were In a com
fortable majority. On their sides or the
chamber were 56 Senators, while the Re
publicans mustered only 40,
Nine new Senators were escorted to the
desk of the presiding ofjjcej- to take the
oath of office shortly after the Senate

the Itepubllcnn leaders felt keenly.
The promised light for n cloture rule,
to cuilnll tho ancient, time-honored pre

over the opening session.
Senator Walsh, of Montann, served
notice that, while ho would not question
the wotk done Under the rules In forco

bring up the iiuostlon whether each Sen

them now tho next city administration.
The Vnres, should the light against
Senntor Penrose be successful, will bo tho
dominant figures In the llcpubllcnn Stnto
machine. They already controlled tho
State Administration, nnd now dominate
the new city Administration.
The antl-Penrosc forces n week ago de
cided not to launch nny fight against
Penrose unless the Mayor-elect showed
nu Inclination to Join with tho Vnres. The
announcement of his Cabinet, they said,
would be the signal for starting n bitter
fight to overthrow Penrose, ns tho suc
cess or tho light depended upon Philadel
phia. The llrumbnugh-Vnro combination has
the support ot Public Service Commis
sioner Mngee nnd William Fllnn, In Pitts
burgh, and depends upon the personal
strength of Governor Brumbaugh
throughout the rent of tho State.
SKNATOR PnNHOSE SILENT.
Senntor Penrose, who went to Wash
ington yesterday afternoon, has declined
to comment upon Mayor-elect Smith's se
lections. In announcing his new- directors nnd
their assistants, tho Mayor-cloct said:
These appointments speak ror themselves.
I have no comment to make."
The Varcs praised tho new cabinet.
Congressman William S. Vare went to
Washington yesterday, but commented
on the new cabinet soon after It was an
nounced, "The cnblnot, as announced by Mnyor
clect Smith tonight, Is the strongest that
any Mayor has ever nppolnted since tho
Ilullltt bill was enacted," ho Bald.
"I consider It nn nll-Phllndelphla cabi
net. It Is composed exclusively or ex
perts, specially equipped for tbo different
tasks they will have to handle, and yet
who have n broad ond thorough knowl
edge of Philadelphia's needs. No Mayor,
I believe, has, ever been bo successful In
making selections that give definite na
suranco to all the people that there will
bo four yeais of progress, efficiency and
real achievement.
IlLANKHNllUnG'S COMMENT.
Mayor Ulankenburg wns pleased nt the
scloctlon ot Mr. Webster. He said:

Senator McNIchol's statement was ns

of coSrse, rested entirely with the
Mnvor. Tho manner In which the ap
pointees conduct themselves In their of
flcal capacity and tho service they ren

C"!r. Datesman. of the Department of
Public Works, nnd Mr. Webster, of the
Department of Wharves, Docks nnd ter
ries, with their long years of experlcnco
In the Bureau of Surveys, and the ofll
clcnt service rendered by them, were cer
tainty deserving of promotions.

FIGHT FOR. FINANCE CHAIRMAN.
Tho Valo character of tho appointments,
however, foreshadows In some qunrters
Vare nnd McNIchol fnctlonal warraro In
City Councils. This wns Indicated when
announcement wns made, Trom sources
closo to the Vares, that Joseph P. Oaff
ney, Common Councilman from tho Vnro
26th Ward, "had been ngrccd upon for
chalrmnn of tho Finance Committee."
In tho hands of the Vnres this chair
manship would bo used In close collabora
tion with tho Mayor. In the hands of the
McN c'lol leaders, It could be used cither
as i -'hip over tho Mayor or In harmony
with .no Mayor.
Significant, therefore wns tho announce
ment from tho McNIchol camp that no
agreement had been reached ns to Mr.
G.'iffney. Senntor McNIchol's friends, ns
the result of Saturday's caucus, nre In
control of tho lower chnmber, nnd there
fore aro In n position to name tho chair
man of the Finance Committee. It Is
reported that Charles F. Kelly, ot tho
17th Ward, Is tho McNIchol choice for
that office.
