AN analysis for undisputed re.
turns to TIE next (Forty -ninth) Congress
shows that of the fortv-one democratic
members of the present House, who
voted against considering the Morrison
Tariff bill. only eighteen have been
elected, while of the Isl democrats who
vbted for the motion to consider the
Morrison bill, nearly 100 are reelected.
On the basis of these figures the sup
porters of the Morrison Tariff bill will
perhaps be found to be increased in the
Forty-ninth Congress.
