one that is getting into print, but ac-
cording to Mr.. Reeee. the Thompsonites

as a party.
Even II their cOntest;ng delegates

Special to The Washington Herald

hpeclal 70 The Washington Herald
Danville, H.. March 1.-THE Republicans
of Uncle Joe" Cannon's district to-day
sounded a keynote" on the tariff ques-
tien.
The Eighteenth Congressional district
convention was held here to-day. and the
tariff resolution adopted is understood TO
have the sanction of Speaker Cannon.
Instead Of being a "stand-pat" resoiu-
tion, as might have been expected it de-
clares in substance for conservative re-
vision. but puts the whole question up to
the national convention. The tariff reso-
luton is as follows:
The tariff is not sacred. and while be-
leving in the principles of protection. we
do not hold tariff schedules as unaIterable
They should be changed from time 90 time
10 meet changed conditions. but the
changes in the future. as In the past,
should be in harmony with the funda-
mental demand for the protection Of
American labor. American capital and
American business.
The Republican national convention
will no doubt consider the various de-
nands for declaration in favor of tariff
revision and reciprocity legislation.
For National Body 10 Decide.
The Republicans OF this district. with
out one exception. will accept the judg-
ment of the national convention. and we
respectfully suggest that TO secure recip-
rOeal tariff concessions from other ma
tons, there should be a minimum and
maximum tariff; the minimum tarin
should be sufficient TO protect American
labor and capital against the cheaper
labor and capital abroad, and the maxi
mum tariff should be enforced against i'm
portations from any country that discrim-
mates against American exports
The Republicans extol Mr. Cannon. and
quote President Roosevelt's letter from
Oyster Bay. August IS 1906. praising the
work Of Mr.. Cannon as Speaker, and in
struct the delegates to the national con-
YentiOn 10 support M Cannon until he
