Pcrnsyirar "a State Grange, Harrisburg. Pa:
Telegram received. | am happy to tell
YOU that not OIL" am / standing on my original
position "a regards rate legislation. but 1t
seems likely that Congress will take this
position too The Hepburn bill meets my
views. "a have from the beginning stated,
The Allison amendment Is only declaratory OF
what the Hepburn bill must mean. supposing
II to he constitutional. and no genuine friend
Of the hill can object TO It without stultifying
himself In addition | should be glad to get
certain amendments. such as those commonly
known as the Long and Overman amend
meats, but they are not vital. and even with
out them the Hepburn bill, with the Allison
amendment, contains practically exactly
what | have both originally and always since
'sEci for, and il enacted into law il will repre-
sent the longest step ever yet taken In the
1 .cction of solving tho rate problem.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
Senator y, liver seems TO be the only
Republican who is sulking in his tent. Al!
the other so-called radicals are believed TO
have accepted the compromise. There
are some who claim that Deliver will be
found with the rest of his party when the
compromise amendment il voted on, but
he has not acted to-day az II he intended
10 be found in the compromise column.
Mr.. Deliver has been talking very rashly.
Much that is credited to him should probably
he taken with a grain of salt, but he has
said enough to show that he still no pes to
smash the compromise Srd rally his former
Republican adlerents around the standard
Ct restricted court review.
VI, Ih,ut-a, = e..l.s.i. -
Icmcc cratic SUI port, but there Is much
reason to believe that many Democrats
IN the Senate will vote to adopt the CON-
Pr mise amendment. The most optimistic
are e the opinion that there will be only a
few "ctcs cast against it.
Cre Of the statements that cam e from
the Deliver headquarters to-day was
that TIE compromise amendment when
Presented in the Senate would be coupled
with the Long restricted review amend
nent and the Bacon amendment provid-
ing that no rate should be suspended or
modified except by two judges. AS far
Is can he learned the only Republican who
isln favor Of such a proposal is Mr.. Dolliver.
Nr Allison il still confined to his room.
lie won't be ablo to appear in the Senate
tomorrow, and that is why Mr.. Cullom
VIII prohctly propose the compromise
provision, There have been attempts to
make it appear that Mr.. Allison would re-
rudiate the compromise, but there is no
warrant for these.
Just what the Democrats intend to do
when the compromise is proposed is uncer-
tain, 1t is not nov clear whether some OF
them will then make speeches charging
Pres ident Roosevelt with having sur
rencfied the principle for which he con-
fenced or wait for a later opportunity to
lnauige in n little partisan talk. Efforts
are reing made to have the Democrats
accept the compromise and thus make the
oII a non partisan measure.
