Resretted hy acorctary Shaw.


To Secretary Shaw, whose residence
also is in Iowa and who is great
friend of the spe-ker, the news came
with equal surprise and regret. The
secretary in response to request for
an interview dictated the following:
81 have not been in Iowa since Febru-
airy and hence | know little of any
change in the political sentiment in
the state. All republicans found con.
genial standing room on the platform
last year. The tariff revision plank 10
sufficiently general to occasion no dis
pute, and each put such construction
upon the shelter for monopoly utter
ance as he pleased. The language
does not say that the tariff does at.
ford a shelter, but demands any modf
fcation that may be required to pre-
vent their affording shelter. ! think
most of the speakers took the old
time republican view that the tariff is
not responsible for the trusts If the
sentiment has changed, I'm not adj
vised
Il regret Henderson's decision more
than | can express, and still hope the
report is unfounded or that he may be
induced to recall his declaration. He
was sure of his reelection"
Director Roberts Nonplussed.
Director of the Mint Roberts, the
principal owner of the Des Moines
Register and Leader, the paper which
has advocated tariff revision, speaking
OF Henderson's action, said:
