Why Bill Was Defeated

Ii4i p" So LClSdlSu.
When the Cuban reciprocity bill was re-
ceiVlns its death blow at the hands of a
group Of fifteen or eighteen republican SEN
ators there was great deal of specula-
t!oa as TO why a minority of the marty
should be permitted to defeat a measure
proposed by the administration in the in
terest Of the country.
The question was freely asked. Who is
backing these few senators and enabling
them to stand out against the entire party?'
1t was limited at that time that the atti-
tude of the insurgent senators was secret
ly encouraged by some men high I'm the
party in the Senate. who for reasons of
their own. regarded the impending defeat of
the reciprocity bill with perfect compIa-
Cency.
1t was regarded as particularly certain
that II the republican senators who were
supposed To favor reciprocity should get to-
sether and insist upon the bill being taken
up, it could have been passed. There was
great Speculation, therefore, as to why the
leaders did not put on the screws and force
the bill through the Senate.
Uncertain Attitude of Some Senators.
The answer given at the time was that
the leaders We're afraid to force the bill
IS there were decidedly weak spots in the
ranks of the men supposed to be friendly
to the bill The case was carried to the
White House and it is said that the Presi-
dent when told of the uncertain attitude of
some of the men upon whom he had been
counting was very indignant 1t was said
at the time that he used some very vigorous
language in referring to at least one promi-
nent republican senator upon whom he had
been depending, but whom he found was
secretly encouraging the beet sugar men in
their hostility.
Senator Burton's statement at Topeka
apparently was made in good faith While
the treacheTy at which he hints might be
difficult of proof. Ii was the general belief
about the Capitol that the state of things
he refers TO really existed.
The Real Condition.
His statement that there were not fifteen
senators who at heart We're in favor of
reciprocity does not, it is believed, accu-
rately portray the situation. If he had
said that there were few senators of grea.
prominence and influence in the party who
while processing to favor reciprocity, were
at heart against it. he would have more
correctly described the case.
The confidence of the President and the
friends of reciprocity in the passage OF a
reciprocity bill at the next session is based
upon the belief that public sentiment will
be aroused to such an extent that the knife
play of the last session will not be re-
peated next session, and the men who en-
gagged in ii will not dare TO try the same
game over. Furthermore, they are known
although discovered too late to save the
battle at the past session.
