SUBSIDY FIGHT TO Be
RENEWED next SESSION
Friends of Ships Preparing
for Another Vigorous
Campaign

WASHINGTON. March 16-The fight
over ship subsidy will be renewed at
the next session of Congress with as
much vigor as ever. President Roosevelt
has announced that he will speak on
the question during his visit TO In
diana and Michigan in May next, and
the advocates OF ship subsidy in Con-
gress. led by Senator Gallinger OF New
Hampshire will gather material dur
ing the recess for a new campaign next
winter.
In view of these facts 1t may be in
teresting to analyze the vote cast on
the ship-subsidy bill in the House last
week, as a majority of the members of
both parties will be members Of the
Sixtieth Congress.
The highest number of votes cast
against ship-subsidy legislation in any
of the six ballots taken in the House
was 1852 and the highest number for it
was 1874 The highest majority re-
corded by the opponents of the legisla-
tion was and the highest by its
friends was IL. The one real test of
strength was the first ballot, when the
opponents of the bill scored victory by
vote of 162 to 154 and on this vote
50 Republicans, including Representa-
tive Littauer of New York, who moved
to reconsider the vote taken, were re-
corded against the legislation. On the
second rollcall SO Republicans voted
against the bill, 4s on the third, "A on
the fourth. 43 on the fifth and 40 Re-
publicans were still voting against the
bill when the battle ended
1t was a notable split in the party
ranks which, the leaders admit, is too
serious to be overlooked. AS a matter
Of fact the sentiment in the House
against the bill was even stronger
than was shown by this vote and had

defeated in one ballot by vote of 1T6
to l56. majority TOO large to be over
come by moving Reconsideration
The narrowness by which the House
leaders escaped defeat was shown on
the second ballot, when they carried a
motion to reconsider by a vote of 15s
TO I56.
The Democratic strength In the
House was thrown solidly against the
bill and II Democrats serving their
last terms in Congress voted consis-
tently against it. Except for the sud-
den departure of a few members on
that side no fault could be found with
their opposition or their methods
Altogether Sc Republicans voted
against the bill at some time during
the fight. OF those Republicans who,
when they did vote. voted against the
bill, 40 will be in the next House, and
this explains the need of missionary
work on behalf of ship-subsidy legisla-
ton. Most of these men came from
the Central West. In the next House
the Republican majority will not be
liz. but 5S.
Those Republicans who voted six
were: Representative Burton of Ohio
Campbell of Kansas. Cooper of Wiscon-
sin. Davidson Davis of Minnesota. Esch,
Fordney, Folkerson. Gilhams. Graff,
Gronna, Hamilton, Hinshaw, Holiday.

ship-subsidy legislation but did not

Representatives Ames. one, ballot; Beid-
ler, three ballots; Darragh, three ball
lots; Edwards five ballots; Prince five
ballots, and Reeder. four ballots. OF
this number FIVE return for the next
session.

sides of the question were: Repre-
sentatives Foster of Vermont, French,
Haskins, Haugen. Hedge Littauer,
