gram from the start, and Senator
Francis Emroy Warren of Wyoming
became recognized as perhaps the
foremost spokesman Of the group. He
is regarded as one Of the strongest
men in the senate. He is a native of
Massachusetts, is sixty-five years old,
civil war veteran and a recipient
of a congressional medal OF honor, was
the first governor Of wyoming and has
served almost continuously In the sem

The Dingley bill became law July
"a, 1897. It was freely predicted last
April that the Payne bin would be
enacted into the statutes at much
earlier date in the summer than the
measure introduced and named by the
late Maine statesman. That was
where the political prophets missed
their guess

schedules The situation has been
further confused by the fact that the

views, especially his stand for placing
certain raw materials like hides, oil
and coal on the free list
One of the struggles of the session
which will be historic has been that
over the listing of hides and the ques-
ton of whether they should be placed
on the free list, as in the Payne bill
as it passed the house, or on the duti-
able list, as in the Aldrich bill, and
in the latter case how small the duty
should be. When the Wilson law was
passed hides were placed on the free
list, but they were put back on the
dutiable list at Is per cent rate
when the Dingley law was passed.
The contention of President Taft that
hides should be free and manufactured
leather products should be admitted
under lower rates of duty was the cen
ter Of much of the controversy in the
sessions of the tariff conferees repre-
senting senate and house
The chief opposition to the free
hides program has come from states
of the west largely interested in cat
tie growing, like Wyoming, Idaho
Utah, Montana and the Dakotas. The
senators from the three first named
states opposed the free hides pro-

and offered him the nomination. The
reply Of the justice is not known. One
significant fact about it all is that
Gaynor intended to go to Europe and
announcement was made of that fact,
but for some reason he changed his
mind. OF course, Cohalan denies the
interview. but the World, the Press
and other papers state with greater or
less positiveness that the tender was
made. Is it possible that the frame-up
is to be Muephy Gaynor combination
against a McCIellan-McCarren combi-
nation? That is the way some keen
observers size up the situation, and
admit that the suggestion is at least
interesting. Personally ] do not be-
lieve, however. that Gaynor win ac-

imagine that Murphy's candidate will
