REVISION FORESEEN
BY A STANDPATTER
Representative Hull of Iowa Says
It Will Come Within Four
Years.
He Also Looks for a Recasting of
Internal Revenue
Laws. u.s.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Nov. 16.-Representa-
tive Hull of Iowa, q pronounced ''stand-
pat' republican, indorses what was
said in this correspondence last Satur-
day about tariff revision and says in an
interview today that he expects to see
revision in the course of the next adj
ministration, also a revision of the in
ternal revenue laws. He says, among
other things:
think something will be done, in fact,
will have to be done, but it Is improbable
that any plan will be advanced until at
ter full party conference am satisfied
that President Roosevelt desires to draw
the whole party together and to obliter-
ate everything like factional contention,
so that at the end of his term there will
be a compact and we'll organized party
to elect his successor and carry out the
party's policies
An indiscriminate discussion of the
subject of revenue revision before the
party had an opportunity to get togeth-
er and confer on the subject would be
likely to develop factional differences
which would be avoided by delaying pub
lie discussion of the question until def
mite plan had been agreed upon.

SOUTH TO SECEDE
FROM DEMOCRACY
Southern Leaders May Shun the
Party's National Conventions
as Rebuke. 49,,
PRESIDENT URGED TO
HONOR A SOUTHERNER
Appointment to Cabinet Viewed
as Token of Republican
Good Will.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Nov. l6.-There is good
reason to believe that in the near flu
ture call will be issued for a confer
ence of southern political leaders to
the southern states. The chief idea In
the mind of those who will send out the
call is to have the south cut loose from
the northern democracy, whose leader
ship is thoroly discredited as the result
of many inglorious defeats, and to re-
fuse hereafter to send delegates to the
national democratic conventions.
It is said the south would exert
telling influence on national affairs by
holding it's electoral votes together and
delivering them after election to the
candidate whose platform promised
most for southern advancement. Also,
such a course, it is argued, would re-
store the self-respect of the south and
put an end to conditions which have
prevailed there since the war.
This movement has originated among
southerners, and concurrently with 1t
comes the request that the president
name southern man as a member of
his cabinet next March, thus showing
that the republican party does not be-
which have made the south what 1T IS
today. The president is being urged
to name this cabinet officer from Vlr-
ginia, and the man most favored is
Representative Slemp, just. reelected to
congress by a majority of about 5000
as compared with a plurality of about
800 two years ago. He represents the
progressive and liberal type of south
ern republicanism, and the president is
said to be giving the suggestion Of his
appointment careful consideration.
President to Visit South.
The president is to make visit to
H. oh 80
expected to come from 1t. He be-
lieves the time has now come when
there is really a chance to break up
the old solid south and he wants to help.
Southern democratic papers are
filed with editorials demanding that
the south cut. loose from the Wall street
and Tammany crowds that managed
r ore vital force in American politics.
This feeling is widespread, as the pro-
posed conference will show -.
The president, in anything he may
do toward helping the work along,
will not be actuated by partizan mo-
tives. The creation of better feel
ing in the south will be part of his
program. If he can contribute eff
fectively he will make his administra-
lean history.
Roosevelt Gncouraged.
Of course there are difficulties in the
way, but if both sides approach the
question dispassionately and with gen
uine desire to secure results, much can
be accomplished. The president is said
to be greatly encouraged.
1t is significant that the sentiment of
the south, as expressed since election
in leading southern journals an in in
tervlews with southern politicians, con
dennis the Vardaman, Tillman and JEFF
Davis element in the south, and favors
sidetracking it. The better and more
liberal of the southern democracy is
back of this movement for better
things, and for this reason something
tangible may be the result.
