Speaker Henderson's withdrawal
from the congressional race is easily
the most sensational political incident
the country has known for months.
More than that, it is easily the most
significant political incident that has
occurred for a long time. 1t affords
the most convincing evidence yet
forthcoming of serious decentralization
over the tariff in the republican party.
1t is proof that republican disaffection
towards Dingleyism, and republican
recognition that the only way to fight
the trusts is through tariff revision,
are deep seated and wide spread. Il
declining to stand for reelection after
SO many years Of service in congress-,
and after attaining a position of ex-

Henderson acknowledges that the
tariff revision movement in the repub-

threatens to pass beyond, the stage at
which the high protection leaders
could hope to check it. He admits vir-
tually that the revisionistS have taken
the bit between their teeth. All things
considered, it is a concession that there
is not only a strong anti-protection
sentiment in his own state, but in 9TH
