HOW IT LOOKS TO
SENATOR KEARNS
Finds Prospects Very Good on His
Return from Europe.
REACHED HOME LAST NIGHT
Believes Utah and the Nation Gener.
ally VIII Co Republican This Fall
His Own Position.

United States Senator Thomas Kearns
is back again. He came In last night
and was seen at his home by News
representative today. The senator is
looking well and from the tone Of his
remarks Is no doubt feeling well.
When approached concerning the po-
litical outlook at home the senator
looked pleased and expressed the con-
vlction that It was all coming "our
way" ''rhe outlook at home? Why II
was never better" said he. Reports
seem to Indicate that everything, or
nearly so, will be Republican, and why
shouldn't 1t be? The Republican party
Is the party Of progress and advance
ment, the party that promises TO do
more for the West than has ever been
done for 1t before The people are
waking up to the situation and be-
lieve that the fall election will demon
strate more clearly than ever, that we
here In the West are in for progress
slve policy such as is being pursued by
the present national administration"
what part senator, II any. do you
expect TO take In the coming cam
paign?" was asked, TO which came the
candid reply: Il expect TO take the
part of a Republican and citizen,
that's all. / expect to do all can TO
make and keep Utah Republican"
Regarding the senatorial contest, 1t
is rumored, senator, that you are. for
Reed Smoot. What OF it?"
Personally | am for no one. | be-
lieve the people of this state capable of
handling this matter for themselves,
and am perfectly willing to leave It in
their hands"
Nationally the senator said the out.
look for Republican victories was all
that could be desired, He believed the
big bulk CT the states would roll up
handsome Republican majorities.
Senator Kearns had a nice trip
abroad. He has been gone three
months, during which time he visited
England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales,
France, Switzerland. Austria, Germany
and Belgium. He is glad to be home
and hopes to remain here until such
time as his senatorial duties call him to

NO CHANGE LIKELY.
Iowa Leading Republicans Think
Coming Congress VIII DO Nothing.

That no change is likely to be made
In the existing tariff, is evidenced by
the following Des Moines dispatch 10
the Omaha World Herald.
Speaker Henderson declared at the
Republican. conference today that II
was idle to talk about any changes In
the tariff during the coming short ses-
sion of Congress. He thought that II
might b possible TO get bill through
the house, but II was doubtful II any
thing could be gotten through the SEN
ate.
Senator Dolliver, who was present,
agreed with him, saying that any
measure that did not have unanimous
consent could hardly be touched In the
senate In less than three months.
The discussion hinged on the Iowa
platform and the advisabiiity OF max
ing changes In the present tariff
schedules Gov. Cummins took firm
stand. upon the Iowa platform and de-
clared In. favor of the plank
which says that the Republicans
are I'm favor OF such modification Of the
tariff as may be necessary TO prevent
It's becoming shelter to monopoly.
Speaker Henderson said that while
he would not have placed this plank
In the platform, he could see nothing
the matter with H. II did not mean.
he declared, that the present tariff Is
shelter 10 monopoly. He urged all
the Republicans to stand squarely on
the platform, saying that he proposed
to do so.
Senator Dolliver declared that the
Republicans must do something on the
reciprocity question They had been
promising the. people reciprocity for the
past ten years. but the senate had re-
fused to consider the treaties that had
been negotiated. He declared that II
was time 10 do something.
The unanimous sense OF the confer
ence was that the party is not opposed
to changes in the tariff. but wants
them made In such a way as will not
demoralize business and commercial
interests by uncertainty. Their idea
az expressed Is to change rather than
revise the tariff schedules"
