CAMPAIGN LOGIC
Doesn't Favor the Passage of q Republi-
can IErin Bill


DETROIT. July PA Washington spe-
cisl to the journal says The Republicans
are very much undecided ss TO their fu.
ture course on the tariff question in this
Congress. The Senate bill now in prepEra-
tion will not be ready 10 be reported for
about two weeks al lesst. Then the ques-
iien will be whether TO discuss and attempt
10 pass it, or let il go over until December.
Some of the Senators. notably Allison, want
discussion and Senate bill; others do
not. The Republicans in the House are
determined that the Mills bill shall be the
only tsrin issue in this ompaign. They
think that bill makes the issue sufficiently
plain and that no further tariff
measure is necessary or desirable. The
general opinion is that the Senators will
not attempt to pass bill al this session, al
though this cannot be definitely settled un-
Ill the caucus is held. The Republican
leaders In the House are holding confer
snces almost daily with their colleagues in

a chance to retire the side was missed by
Childs, the men from Columb fell on toe
delivery of Mr.. Irwin, and by two singles,
three doubles and four costly errors they
scored seven runs and won the game. The
