Republicans Opposed to Downward
Revision Says Their Boss.

Republican senators and representa-
tives who fought for downward revis-
ion of the tariff neither represent tie
republican party nor President Tar.
and have no right 10 so pretend, ac-
cording to Senator Nelson w. Aldrich
of Rhode Island.
The Rhode Island senator has been
in almost daily conference with Pres
ident Taft, and therefore his state
rment that the so-called progressiveS
have no right to use the name of Pres
ident Taft in their plea for downward
Treyision is presumed here in Washing
ton to represent the view of the pres
ident. In other words, President Taft.
through his official mouthpiece, Sena-
tor AldTich. disowns the progressives
entirely and completely.
THE senator from Indiana (AIr Be-
eride) does not speak for the republic
can party" declared Senator Aldrich.
He has no right TO call here the name
of the president of the United States
in support of any of the suggestions
he has made.
Those of us who are here represent
ing states voting as a majority in this
chamber, represent the republican
party and not individual senators,
whatever may be their standing CT
whatever may have been their service
to the party.
Mr.. President. the bill which Will
be voted upon in this senate i'll few
moments is revision. which carries
out to its letters every pledge of the
republican party
One of the most interesting features
of the senate vote on the tariff bill
was the desertion of the progressive
band by Senator William E. Borah OF
Idaho and Senator Joseph NJ. Dixon .!
Montana After managing 10 get into
public print in such a way that 1t was
taken for granted by their constitueM
cies at home that they were among the
,progressives in congress, Senatocs
Borah and Dixon deserted the down
ward revisionistS i'll the most cold
lblOoded manner when it came to Vot
ling. placing their names under that oi
Aldrich Considerable astonishmen ri
was expressed in the galleries when
Borah. particularly, placed his o. X. Oh
the Aldrich bill by voting for its pass
age. His Inconsistency was regretted
by not a few. as he had shown marked
ability in resisting the trickery of the
Aldrich crowd Dixon was never more
than a lukewarm downward revlsionls'
and therefore his betrayal of the cause
| was not so surprising as that of Borah
The republican progressives who re
| NAMED consistent when it came to vot
ling and stood shoulder TO shoulder
with the democrats against the Payne
Aldrich bill, were: LaFollette of Wis
consin: Bristow of Kansas; Cummins
and Dolliver OF Iowa; Nelson and
| Clamp of Minnesota; Brown and Bur
kett of Nebraska; Beveridge of In
diana and Crawford of South Dakota
McEnery, the sugar senator %

voted for the passage of the bill

PRESIDENT REYES
RESIGNS BY, CABLE
Gives Up Leadership in Colombia Be
cause People DO Not Support
His Views.

Hamburg. July 27.-President Rafael
Reyes of Colombia cabled to Bogota
Yesterday resigning the presidency of
that republic.
General Reyes, discussing the Col
ombian situation, said the majority Of
the new congress, which assembled
July 90, clearly is opposed to ratif-
cation of the tripartite treaty between
Colombia, the United States and Pan
anna. Therefore, he said, it would be
useless for him to retain Office when
the country did not share his views.
He believed Acting President Holguin,
who held the same opinions as himself,
soon would be compelled to retire for
similar reasons, he said.
General Reyes added that he re-
garded Colombia's recaltitrancy in re-
fusing to recognize the independence
of Panama as foolish, as it probably
will result in the loss of the compe1-
sation which the United States is ready
to arrange that the new republic
should pay. He had done all he could
for his country, he said. There had
been two attempts to assassinate him.
His health now is broken down. and
as his fellow countrymen had shown
thew no longer are willing 10 support
him he had determined to retire, al
though his term still had four years
10 run.

she began to use Electric Bitters,'
writes Mrs. w. l.. Fitzpatrick of Dan

seems really to be growing young
again. She suffered untold misery
from dyspepsia for 20 years. AT last
she could neither eat, drink nor
sleep. Doctors gave her up and all
remedies failed till Electric Bitters
worked such wonders for her
health" They invigorate all vital
organs, cure liver and kidney
troubles, induce sleep, impart
strength and appetite. Only SO cents
