publicly, some advantage from the
message. Tho straight reciprocity

% cause at least some OF the beet
sugar republicans 20 abandon their
opposition. They contendcd that
many ~ them had misunderstood the
attitude of the president, and now
that this had been made clear there
will be no longer excuse for opposing
straight reciprocity measures. The
message, they argued, would clear
the atmosphere, render the presi.
dents attitude unmistnkablc aad,

party face to face with the fact that
in continuing their upposit!cH they
