T4RIFF TO BE LET HONE.
Until 4fter Election, Says Senator
Hopkins at Oyster Bay.
IBy telegraph 70 The Tribune.I

Oyster Pay. July 1.-THE tariff will be let
alone until after the Presidential election This
statement made by Senator Hopkins. of
Illinois, to-day. Immediately after he left Saga
more Hill, where he had u conference with the
President
1t would be suicidal 10 the Republican party
the Senator added. TO undertake revision of
the tariff during the next Congress After the
Presidential election believe il will be the duty
OF the Republican party 10 revise the tariff. and
that it will be done"
Mr. Hopkins said he believed such an argu-
ment would appeal TO and be accepted by Re-
publican revsionists in all parts of the country
H. f. Miles, manufacturer of Wisconsin and
member of the Tariff Reform League. took part
in the discussion. Senator Hopkins said that
his talk with the President had been practically
confined the subject OF the tariff. and he
denied that he came on any other political mis-
sion either OF a state n national character
How is Cannon's Presidential boom getting
along?" Senator Hopkins was asked at the sta
ton.
"Splendidly.' he said. IF the convention We're
to be held tomorrow there would be any
other candidate from the Middle West. The old
man is in fine condition physically and is en-
joying a mighty busy and pleasant summer.
Everybody is for Uncle Joe out in country,
and far as we are concerned he can have
everything all his way. OF course, If Presi-
dent Roosevelt was a candidate there would be
not the slightest opposition in the convention -
his nomination. But I am thoroughly convinced
that Mr. Roosevelt will not consider the nomi-
nation: that he is entirely sincere in declaring
himself not to be candidate under any circum-
stances. Speaker Cannon will have the entire
Illinois delegation sOundIy behind him, and
thoroughly believe that If nominated he would
make the best race OF all the men the Republl-
can party could put forward"
