Of COALITION
To Be WIDE ONE

Washington, Feb. Pit is becoming
apparent that the Dolliver- Democratic
coalition I'm the senate is 10 have a wide
spread application TO pending legislation
and will not be confined I'm its operation
merely to the railway rate bill This
strangely assorted combination OF inter-
ests is expected 10 deal the death blow
to the Philippines tariff bill, which has
already passed the house.
Predictions were freely made on the
senate side OF the capitol today that the
coalition forces were being so well hand
led, particularly on the part OF the Demo-
cratic managers, that the defeat OF the
Philippines measure had been made ths
price OF the enactment OF rate legislation.
II Is not going too far 10 say that those
who are most interested I'm the Philip
pines bill are satisfied that 1t will not
pass the senate.
Until today there was n confident feel
Ing IN the capitol that the tariff measure
would go through, the senate. Enough
became apparent, however. to show that
this confidence should be abandoned.
Trade-ons are In progress. have been. I'm
fact, for several days and IL is expected
that the Democrats will control a suf-
ficient number of Republican votes 10 ef-
fectually relegate to the legislative scrap
heap a measure which the president has
In It's tariff reduction feature the Phil
lippines bill has the approval OF the Demo-
Gratis. but they are anxious to make GER
legislation and thereby win the credit of
having accomplished what their political
opponents were unable TO do.
To carry through the Philippines bill
the assistance OF some Democrats was
necessary, for more than a dozen RepHb-
lican senatorNwere opposed TO the meas
ure and II was absolutely requisite that
part OF the Democratic strength should
be given TO this administration policy to
brins IL TO a successful termination.
The primary aim OF the senator's who
have set to work 10 get the railway rate
bill on the statute books Is TO soldify the
Democrats Of the upper house IN favor
OF passing the measure without the addi-
tion OF n court review provision.
The real managers Of the rate bill In
the senate are Democrats. and they are
taking advantage OF the division among
the Republicans TO strengthen the coali-
ton that already exists which was origi-
nally n combination having only one OBJ
ject I'm view. but now broadening rapidly,
so as TO embrace other important ques-
tions
II is useless at this time to indulge In
any prediction as 10 the outcome Of the
rate agitation. That the Hepburn bill
will be bitterly fought I'm the senate goes
without saying
