SHAW ON HENDERSoN's ACTION.
Important That the Position of the Spea K
er Should Not Be Misunderstood.

Important That the Position of the Speak
er Should Not Be Misunderstood.
Washington, Sept. Is. - Secretary
Shaw said in commenting further upon
Speaker Henderson's declination of
denomination. that while he refrained
either from criticising or justifying
the speakers course, he cons dered it
of very great Importance and due to
General Henderson that his position
be not misunderstood. Secretary Shaw
said:
Either many newspapers misun-
derstood General HendersOn's position
or I do. l understand him to stand
pat on the tariff plank of the Iowa
platform, which favors such revisions
as changed conditions make advisa-
ble In his address to the Republican
says: While / have been against a
general revision = l have
never been opposed to making need
ed changes, and l am not now
''Nor do l understand him to object
to the antitrust plank, which is in a
different section of the state platform,
and which only declares against al
lowing the tariff to become a shelter
for trusts. 1t goes no further than in
timating that such thing may occur.
1t does not say such thing does exist.
Commenting on this plank in his adj
dress, the general says: 1T is a bold
declaration that if notifications of
the tariff are required to prevent mon
Opoly from sheltering itself under the
wings of protection then tariff shall
be modified to prevent that condition.
GAS l understand him he finds him
self unable to agree with the interpre-
tation placed upon this plank by many
of his constituents and firm party
friends. To what if any extent the
Republicans of Iowa are advocating a
removal of the tariff on trust made
or controlled goods as remedial
measure | am unable to speak, / think
General HendersOn's friends ought to
see to it that his position be correctly
interpreted to the people and that he
be not placed in the false light of hav-
ing declined to be candidate for con-
gress because opposed, to use the lam
guage of the Iowa platform, to such
changes in the tariff from time to time
as becomes advisable through the
progress Of our industries and their
changing relations to the commerce
Of the world"

sd. B. HENDERSON.


The tariff plank in the platform to
which Mr.. Henderson took exception
Is as follows:
1--WE stand by the historic policy of
the Republican party in giving pro-
lection to home industries and point
for it's ample vindication to the extra
ordinary rapidity with which our ma
tional resources have been developed
and our industrial and financial in
dependence secured. We favor such
changes in the tariff from time to
time as become advisable through the
progress of our industries and their
changing relations to the commerce of
the world. We indOrse the policy Of
reciprocity as the natural complement
of protection and urge it's development
as necessary to the realization of our
highest commercial possibilities"
Action Carefully Considered.
Speaker Henderson's action was not
the result of hasty decision. For
weeks he has been considering the
subject and endeavoring to learn his
duty in the matter He studied the
conditions in his district, learned the
sentiments of party leaders there, and,
he says, found considerable sentiment
conflicting with his political views.
Not until Monday, however, did Mr..
Henderson make known his deter
mination. Then he notified several OF
his political friends that he had decided
to decline the nomination. Word was
sent to several of the party leaders

likely to have great effect on the COM

throughout the country.
