TO FORCE A VOTE
ANTI RECIPROCITY SENATORS
WILL BE COMPELLED TO
GO ON RECORD.
CHAIRMAN PLATT'5 VIEWS

the Bill to Aid Cuba and That the
+ "Insurgent" Members Are Fighting
Their Own Party-President Roose-
Welt Considers His Position Endorsed
by Action of Recent Conventions.
Washington, June Ex-senator Plat
of Connecticut, chairman of the COM
mittee on Cuban relations, was an
early caller at the White House, where
he had conference with the president
on the subject of the probable fate of
the Cuban reciprocity measure in the
senate. He declined to make any
statement concerning the presidents S
views as expressed to him but said
that, speaking for himself, he would
force the senators who are holding out
against reciprocity. to cast their vote
either with or against the party.
There is not a beet sugar state, -
said the senator, where, if the ques-
vention, reciprocity would not be en-
dorsed Where a lot of men are set
ting themselves up in opposition to
their party they should be forced to go
on record by their VOTE"
Senator Millard of Nebraska, who
opposes the reciprocity plan, was pres
ent during part of the conference and
the president remarked to him that
Nebraska had endorsed his (the
president's) course and turned down
her own senators. To number of his
callers President Roosevelt stated thai
he finds sufficient endorsement Of
his stand on the Cuban question in thu
action of the conventions recently held
in South Dakota, Kansas and Nebras
ka. To personal friend he said he
felt particularly grateful to Congress-
men Burkett of Nebraska and Martin
of South Dakota for their attitude in
their conventions also that he took a
particular pride in the endorsements
from the three states above named be-
cause he was peculiarly close to these
states.
It is known that the president would
negotiate treaty with Cuba provided
he has the assurance of fifty senators
that they would vote for it, but he does
not want to try this expedient without
a guarantee before hand that it would
carry Those close to the president as
sert that his feeling now is that if re.
ciprocity is not granted at this time it
must come sooner or later and that
those senators who at present are op-
posing it eventually will be led to see
that our duty and obligations toward
Cuba must be carried out, according
to the pledges made.

question was resumed and Mr.. Spooner
offered formally his amendment as
substitute for the pending so-called
Hepburn Nicaragua canal bill.
Mr.. Clark (Mont.) then addressed
the senate in support of the Nicaragua
canal route. He thought if one-half
the objections to both the Nicaragua
and Panama routes were valid, neither
route would be adopted. He was salts
fed the concensus of conservative
opinion in this country was that the
isthmian waterway should be con-
structed. The American people, he
said, were not to be deferred.
Mr. Allison explained why he should
vote for the Spooner substitute. He
believed there was a general desire
among the American people for an
isthmian canal and the people desired,
too that the United States government
should construct and control the canal.
Mr.. Morgan, chairman of the inter
oceanic canal committee, at the con-
clusion of Mr.. Allison's remarks, began
with a speech closing the debate. He
said the canal issue seemed to have
come down to a single point-that of
finance. On that point he deferred to
Mr. Allison but he did not believe
that it would b. necessary to issue
bonds to pay for the construction of
canal.
