DE MOCRATS READY
WITH RATE BILL
Said They Have Measure of
Theil- Own.
n EARST IDEA IN MIN D
May Vote With Republicans When
They Find There Is No Chance
for Them.

The Democrats will Introduce in the
next Congress a railroad bill Of their
own.
Already, according 10 the authorities
on Democratic policies, John Sharp
Williams, who will undoubtedly be
chosen again as leader Of the Demo-
Gratis in the House. is working on bill
that will embody his views on the rate
and rebate question. There is little
doubt that nearly all. If not all, the
Democrats will vote for his bill!
Owing to the exceedingly small num-
Der of Democrats elected TO the next
Congress, Ii is obvious that they will
not be able to do much with their meas
ure. The fight, when the wind up comes,
will be on whether the Republicans bill
shall be passed or no bill at all.
This being the case, the question of
what the Democrats will do assumes
interest. They could either stick stub
bornly by their bill or they could help
the Republicans pass the other bill, thus
seconding the wishes Of President Roose-
Welt
The Washington times., 1905-10-28
May Help Republicans.

Taking all recent developments into
consideration, the wise ones are now
predicting that the minority will vote
for its bill until the last moment, when
they will go over to the Republicans in
favor of passing a bill of some sort.
The reasons for this view are given
by some of the Democrats as, follows:
Roosevelt has won many hundreds of
friends in the South lately. and this
feeling of friendliness on the part Ct
the people will be reflected in great
measure by their Representatives in
Congress. Roosevelt wants to get a
railroad bill through in some way, and
the Democrats from the South will feel
inclined to help him.
Probably Hearst Bill.
1t was predicted today by an eminent
authority on Democratic policies that
the new Democratic bill will be in ef-
feet the Hearst bill OF last year, and
this In spite of the well-known enmity
between John Sharp Williams and
William Randolph Hearst. 1t is recogi
nized by the Democrats that the Hearst
bill is. after ali, very good one when
Cntre is a question of dealing with the
rebate abuse on the part of the railroads
OF the country.
II is also said by authorities on the
subject that this Hearst measure pro-
vides for the absolute and unmitigated
abolition OF the rebate. II is considered
vastly superior to the measure that was
indorsed by the Democrats during the
last session of Congress.
In regard to the extreme probability
of the Democrats going over and voting
with the Republicans at the last call for
votes on the matter. there is some dis
satisfaction expressed by Democratic
politicians throughout the country.
They say 1t will be little short of folly
for the minority TO help the majority
hands OF the Interstate Commerce Com
mission when the commission will
eventuate as nothing but a huge ma
chine in national politics.
