And to q great extent the same men are

It will need united Republican party

party to be united when the whole power
of administration patronage and plumber

DEMOCRATIC PLAN FOR TARIFF LEG
lsLATIoN.-A member OF the Democratic
Committee says that whatever the report
of the Tariff Commission may be there
will be an earnest effort at the next ses-
sion of Congress to commit the Demo
cratic party to the principle of a thor
ough reduction of the tariff and a sys
tematic revision of it. He says there
has been a correspondence this summer
among leading revenue reformers, and
that they all agree that the sentiment of
the country is strong for revenue reform
and for a reduction of taxes. The result
of the correspondence is an agreement
to meet some day before Congress assem-
bles, and to discuss thoroughly the
situation, and after having devised a
satisfactory plan of work, to submit it
to a caucus of Democratic members and
try to commit the party to 1t as the
party policy. This would head off any
advantage which the Republicans might
gain if they succeeded in responding to
public opinion.

With the near approach of the Ohio

which they concede thirty nine counties
to the Democrats by SO, $50 majority, and
forty-nine counties to the Republicans
by 80, $50 majority, a Republican ma
iority in the State of II 800. On the
other hand, the Democratic committee
claim forty-1ve counties by 81, 500 ma
jority, and concede the Republicans
forty-three counties by 1926 ma
jority, a Democratic majority in
the State of 17,725. Still another
