AN ENTERING W EDGE

WEDGE
 The action of Speaker D. B. Hen derson in declining the nomination
 for congress in the Third Iowa dis trict because the republican platform in that state declared its opposition to any protective triff which would ''shel. ter trust monopoly" has brought about a serious rupture in the party in that state which promises to spread to every section of the coun try. Mir Henderson and his follow CTS throughout the country are deter mined that there shall be no tariff tinkering." even to the extent of re- straining. the trusts in their bold rob bery of the consumers oi the country Advices from the Third Iowa district, which has kept Henderson in con gress for twenty years, is that the re- publican party has received a blow from the effects of which it will not soon recover Ex-Governor Horace BOlSe IS Lne ueuloSid dtiS NdhuiHeeS ANA congress in the Henderson district and now the chances for his election will not be gainsaid, even by republi- cans. The action of Henderson has drawn a dividing line in the republi- can party. Henderson stands on one side of this line with the ultra-tarif protectionists and the state republi- can committee, the state party plat form and a majority of the republi, cans stand on the other side of this dividing line and demand that the protective tariff be removed from ar ticles controlled by monopoly.
 The Henderson incident has caused widespread alarm in the republican party. Party leaders see in it the en- tering wedge for division on the ques- ton of tariff reform in the republican party throughout. The northwest has never been intensely loyal to the high protective tariff nd the sign now Is that many republicans in that section will no longer stand hitched to a pol icy that has filled the country with trusts and monopoly. Presiderr Roosevelt sees trouble ahead ani earnestly" asks Henderson to recon sider his determination not to run. Senators Babock, Spooner and Lodge implore Henderson to remain in the race, but that gentleman has turned down hese applications from on 'hich with the simply reply No" A Des Moines dispatch says a condition Of panic prevails among the party lead CTS in Iowa and an open rupture ex- ists.' The two evening papers at Des Moines declare that Speaker Tender sons withdrawal has precipitated the long threatened rupture over the tar if question, and one advises the party to only stand for Simon pure republi- canism. The latter holds out the idea that a unanimous endorsement of Henderson's attitude on the tariff plank by a special congressional con- vention, accompanying nomination by exclamation, would induce him to make the race The other states that his withdrawal is final and is the only thing he could do in view of the fact that he is out of harmony with the party in Iowa and would be repudi- ated If he insisted upon forcing the issue.
 In Washington there was consterna- ton among the republicans, all see the palpabIe harm which must come to that party from forced tariff fight within it's ranks. A correspondent from that city says the republicans there now see that there is war be tween Speaker Henderson and his following against the hopes held out in the Presidents speeches for tariff revision and control of the trusts, possibly by means of reduced tariff.
 The result of it all will be that if Henderson is not appeased, or there is not a plain retrogression by the administration, there will be two camps in the republican party this fall, with the high protectionists and trusts on one side and the republican tariff reformers on the other.
 On which side of this fight will the Arizona republicans line up? Will they stay with the trusts which have been created and fostered by pro- tective tariff or will they stand for tariff reform as the only remedy for the real trust evil?
