Insurgent recognition debate shapes Senate lineup in Washington
Senator elect Robert LaFollette carries Republican credentials to Washington as factional lines form over insurgent recognition. Western senators seek equal status with regulars while reactionaries oppose. The Democratic minority stance will influence outcomes, with Coolidge opposed to admitting insurgents, Borah and Norris potentially gaining support. Editorials on taxation and race dynamics temper these political threads with broader economic and international notes.
