DEAR SIR:
mailed you this morning a COPY of
the Washington Post OF today, and call
your especial attention to the announce
ment of the position OF the protectionist
wing Of the Republican party in the
House, adopted at their caucus on Mon.
day night, and introduced into the Re.
publican conference last night by Rep.
resentative Taylor of Ohio. The caucus
last night was the fourth 20 consider the
question which is misnamed Cuban Re
ciprocity and the determined opposition
of Speaker Henderson and majority of
the members OF the Ways and Means
Committee prevented a vote on the
main question. The vote was upon
Representative Littlefield's amendment
TO Speaker Henderson's motion 20 ad-
journ until next Tuesday night, and
stood so in favor Of adjournment sine
die and 20 against. At the caucus prev.
ious 70 that OF last night our canvass
showed l0S out of the 1919 Republican
members OF the House i'm favor OF the
present sugar tariff That we are los
ing ground as a result of these continued
adjournments is beyond question. This
loss of strength on our side is the result
of the pressure brought TO bear upon
members from the non beet producing
states, by the Administration, Speaker
Henderson, the leaders OF the House and
the active work of many u. s. Senators.
In case the scheme of the Ways and
Means Committee for reduction of
tariff comes TO a vote in the House, I
think that a sufficient number of the
Republican members will stand firm
against the proposition 10 defeat 10 I'M.
less IL is passed by democratic aid. How
do the Gratiot people stand on the ques.
