The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-11-08

not desired by the men afiliated with the American Protective Tariff League with, its headquarters in New York city. That League published week ly newspaper that supported Judge Taft because 1t feared Bryan so. and not that the men who control the ora ganization love Taft any too well. The organ of the high tariff advocates has persistently declared that when the tariff Is revised 1t shall be upward in- stead of downward. It is confidently claimed that Aldrich and most of the Eastern Senators will demand pretty stiff protection-higher, doubtless, than the Western Republicans will relish. and some fine manipulating will have to be done to put up united front when 1t comes to pulling down the schedules in the Dingley law.
 Governor Cummins Is feared more by the stand pat" element than any of the men who will have a seat in the upper branch of Congress next year. Of course. he will not have dur ing his first term any important com mittee assignments. but that will make no difference. He can talk all ht pieases. The veteran Repub licans will greatly miss Senator Allison. who for forty years was foremost in al legis- lation pertaining to the tarin. Hv trained with the high protective tariff ks closely by Governor Cummins in the last race Mir. Allison made for the Senate. That showed that even in Iowa there Is growing sentiment for lower tariff duties.
 Roosevelt for Senate.
 Politicians here are freely predict ing that Theodore Roosevelt will come to the Senate from New York as th successor of Chauncey M. Depew in March. 1911. that being the time when the term of the latter will expire. Not Hams of Mississippi take his seat 1T the Senate. A great many Of the Dem ocrats also have an idea that in 1911 William J. Bryan will also try to land in the Senate from Nebraska. Not until then will a vacancy from his State occur, The announcement the other day that the Democrats had cap tured the Nebrasekn Legislature caus- ed a general belief that MT. Bryan would probably be elected during the coming winter. but this was due to the fact that those reaching such a hasty conclusion had not consulted the Congressional Directory, which would have shown them that Senator Bur ketts term does not expire until 1911.
 As the Democrats seem to have won such a signal victory this year in Ne-
 
 that MT. Bryan and his political as- sociates will do their utmost to hold this advantage with a view of captur- ing the Senatorship two years hence Tn such an event 1t is thought that tn Nebraska Democrats will certainly send Mir. Bryan to the Senate. Twelve years ago when he was running for the Presidency. he announced that IT he was elected he would positively de- cline another term. He was asked what he expected to do after that term was out and was also reminded that at the end of the four years he wouL be only 4l years of age. He promptly replied that he would try to come t. the Senate from Nebraska, Andrew Johnson was elected to the Senate>from Tennessee after he was President Of the United States and on quitting the White House. John Quincy Adams of Massachusetts served many years ir the House of Representatives.
 A spectacuIar Trio.
 Those who are discussing the proba bilities here, are practically unanimouf in the opinion that if Roosevelt, Bryan and williams were to become mem bers of the Senate at the same tim they would constitute about the most interesting. If not specta'sular legisla tive trio who ever landed in that au- gust body. The debates would simply be redhot-
 The only legislative experience The odore Roosevelt has ever had was 1T the lower branch of the New Yorf Assern bly,, when he was quite a young man. while at Albany he made things hum. Those who have followed his ca- reer say that he was, just as strenu- ous as. he has been since he has been President. ..
