Dominant Party May Conclude to Mark Time in Short Session
Washington, Nov 27 A week from Monday Congress sits again with many Republicans elected this month returning to Washington to form a likely dominant majority. The coming session fuses old and new dynamics as many defeated members seek frank independence while others secure long stay. President Wilson's mood and veto power loom over immigration restraint and a landmark budget bill once praised as second only to the federal reserve act in importance. The veto on the budget bill last May unsettled many supporters and shapes expectations for the next session.
