SATURDAY EVENING. NOV. 10. 1906.

IMMEDIATE revival of tariff revision
agitation within the republican party Is
believed TO be certain result OF Tues
davis election. This agitation 1.-THE past
has come mainly from the northwest, and
in that section the advocates OF the
stand pat policy Jared badly on Tues
day. 1t is predicted that in filling Inc
pIaces Of the staud.psiter,, Messrs. Nc
Clesry and Bsbcock, on the ways and
means committee. Speaker Cannon will
give heed to the demand for tariff revls-
ion and select men at least not strongly
committed to the stand-pat doctrine.
Representatiye Dalzell, of Pittsourg'
also a member of the ways aud means
committee, and one Of the most un-
compromising stand-pstters in either
house of Congress, had the hardest hight
Of his career in the recent campaign and
his majority of two years ego was beav'iy
raduced All these circumstances will
give new courage to republican tariff
r,yisionis!s and they will renew their sgi'
tation with fresh vigor 1t Ia predicted
nv some that the President will be found
on their side again, after yielding for q
time TO the arguments Of the stand-pat-
ters for indefinite delay in making the
tariff revision an issue in Congress. The
stand -patters, however, will hight iot
postponing any action on the tariff until
after the presidential election two years
hence. Their programme is to take up
revision at a special session Of the Con-
gress to be elected at the same time as
the successor to Mr.. Roosevelt. This,
af course, would be contingent on another
republican victory on the presidency and
Congress. II the republicans are &C.
feated in 1908 they might undertake re-
vision at the short session of the Sixtieth
Congress, so that the changes in the
tariff might be made by its "friends, ="
but il is believed in Washington they
will have a hard time keeping the tariff
agitation within bounds for two years
and halt longer. The demand for re-
yisiou AT the fret session OF the Congress
chosen on Tuesday will be very vigorous
and insistent.
