He inquired if the present republ~

Roosevelt doctrine to revise the tariff

fairbanks IDEA
IS FINDING FAVOR
Special Session After EleC-
ton Has Several Ad-
VantageS.

Tie proposition first advanced ~ Vice
President Fairbanks that a special ses-
sion Of Congress to consider the revi-
sion of the tariff should be called TO
meet Immediately after the Pre- idential
election instead OF waiting until after
the new President Is sworn IN next
March, is being received with some
favor among his Republican colleagues,
though probably not sufficient TO carry
the plan into effect.
The point which appeals to them es-
pccially in relation 10 this plan IS that
j. would enable Congress TO have at
least a four months discussion Of the
subject curing the winter, whereas,
otherwise, the tariff debate would be
likely to drag right through the hot
sumner weather.
Some Democrats claim to see an en-
tireIy different reason for the SUCCESS
ton. They declare that Fairbanks and
his colleagues have seen the handwriting
on the wall and that they already realize
that after March the control Of the
Government Will have pissed into Dem
ocratic hands and that the next House

TO Change.

William z. Carr, chairman Of the Dual
Central Democratic Committee Of the
District. places peace and harmony
above all else as an essential factor In
the Democratic primaries, which are to
be held in the next few weeks.
Mr.. Carr thinks that his associates
have been unjustly treated by members
Of the Kelly committee. some Of whom,
he claims. now hold seats that belong
rightfully to members OF his committee.
He says that a request was made TO
the Kelly committee asking that he and
his associates, who We're entitled to
seats on the committee be given such
seats
This request was denied by the com
mittee," said Mr. Carr, last night, as
seven OF the persons whose votes were
recorded against granting the request
were occupying seats to which they are
not entitled, having been placed there
without notice to us
1T is our purpose TO call a meeting Of
the Central Democratic Committee. and

committee who do not occupy seats be

committee that rightly belong to them
