question of what the president should say
IN his speeches during the coming west
ern and northwestern trip resulted in a
disagreement. ~s~--.a
At l, o'clock this morning, after return
ing to New York, the senators referred to
went into secret conference with Chairman
Babcock Of the republican congressional
committee, admitting to newspaper men
that the talk with the president had not
been fully satisfactory, but that differ
ences of opinion would undoubtedly be adj
justed before the western trip began.
1t is understood that the president ia
vors some mod1ficat ton Of the so-called
trust schedules of the Dingley tariff law,
and that 1T has been his purpose while
IN the West where revision is the leading
campaign issue, to discuss the tariff
frankly. Learning of this intention, the
conference of last night was sought for.
and an effort was made by the senators
from the East to convince the president
that such a discussion would harm the
party. --. e. L ,f.'+
The. presidents position is most deli

the tariff will be very closely read A
failure to mention the tariff would also be
commented upon. ..5@s 5s,sss

TAWNEY IN THE FIRST
Winona Statesman Has Long Lead Over
knatvold.


knatvold.
Special to The Journal.
WinOna, Mimi, Sept. 17.--Nearly COM
plete returns from all the counties IN the
first district EXCEPT Freeborn,. which is
partly estimated, indicate the nomination
of James A. Tawney for congress by a
majority over Knatvold Of about $500.
According to figures given out at Tawney
headquarters Tawney carried seven coun-
ties by the following majorities: Waseca,
1913; Steele, 541; Dodge, Sc; Olmsted, 1872;
Winona, 1,7O6; Wabasha, 526; Mower,
25O.-Total, 4,O53. Knatvold carried three
counties: Houston 40; Fillmore. IS;
Freedom (estimated), 40O.-Total, 5l5.
Iawney's majority, 1858.
WinOna county exceeded all eXpecta-
lions, the largest majority for TaWney
predicted here being 1900. The vote In
Winona county was Tawney, 1885; knat-
void 249. Republicans have nominated
D. Sinclair and ]. j. Pepler for repre-
sentatives and probably John SchWager.
Democrats have nominated Patrick F1tz-
patrick for senator and John Keenan,, Jo-
seph Leicht and P. II. Carney for repre-
sentatives
Dunn Gives Up.
H. H. Dunn, Mr. Knatvold's manager
interviewed by telephone at Albert Lea
conceded Tawney's nomination this morn
ing. Freeborn county will not give Nnat

more. Houston and Dodge by small mar
gins but loses Waseca to Tawney. Mower
county is surprise to both sides, ant
probably will not give TaWney more thai
200 majority where 500 was expected. HI

The Cummins people stand solidly for
tariff revision; the Henderson people
stand as solidly against it. The former
dominated the recent republican state
convention and compelled the adoption
of the platform which has been so va
r1ously interpreted The rise Of the Cum
minis star undoubtedly means the setting
of the Henderson star and the failure of
the speaker to realize his pet ambition
OF occupying senatorial seat. His po-
sition, in the light of these facts, may
have become so intolerable as to pre-
vent his remaining In the field for con-
gress on a platform which was dictated
by his political rivals, for the state plat
form rather than the several congress
sional district platforms seems to be the
one to which Iowa republicans are pay
ing attention this year.
Where the Trouble Began.
The unpleasantness began last winter
| while congress was in, session, when Hen
derson wrote a reciprocity letter to a
country editor in his district and later a
| second letter explaining it. These letters
discussed the tariff in part and revealed
| the speaker as opposed to any modifica-
tion. The republicans of his district pro-
tested, saying that they were for tariff
revision and that their representative
should reflect their views.
With that as beginning, the situation,
as the months have gone by, has grown
warmer and warmer, Governor Cummins
being an aggressive fighter. At last Col.
Henderson added further complication
by making an unpopular postoffice ap-
pointment at Waterloo, the most i'm
portant town in the district after Du-
buque. The leading politicians Of Black
hawk county, following this appointment,
announced their opposition to Henderson
in vigorous terms and, because Of Hender-
sons tariff views, secured a large follow
ing. Things have gone from bad to worse
until the speaker in a At of anger which
| upset his judgment, has said that he
would not run for congress again. This
is believed to be the true explanatio of the
affair.
-.E Its Effect Elsewhere.
nation will have an important effect in
every close congressional district in the
country where tie democrats will give it
their own Interpretation. For this rea-
son it is very probable that some program
will be devised which will keep Colonel
Henderson in the field for congress. If
necessary, strong outside political influ-
ence will be brought to bear upon him.
1t is thought that the most likely program
will be for the third district republicans
to call another convention and renonlinate
Henderson on a platform more In keeping
with his views. The campaign is now SO
