New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1909-07-14

Washington, D. c., July lO.-With
the so-called radical senator's Of the
middle west boiling in body and with
all the politically notorious standing
for it in solid ranks, by.a vote of As
to 81 the tariff bill passed the senate.
Aldrich, boss of the senate and father
OF the bill, was delighted, but the boil
tiers declared that party pledges had
been scorned and the fact remains that
the new bill is revision upward,
which makes increases of slO2, 600, 600
and decreases of S66, Zoo, 600.
While radicalism of an alleged type
was a large factor in the bolt of La
Toilette of Wisconsin, Cummins of
Iowa, Beveridge of Indiana, Dolliver
of Iowa, Gore of Oklahoma, and
others, the forces of trade predomina-
ted. These boiling sen ators come from
western states that suffer from the
high prices resulting from an advanced
tariff schedule, and thus it is that the
protected interests are the dominant
factors in the senate.
The bill will now be taken before
joint committee OF the two houses. The
passage of the bill came as the climax
of a day in which Aldrich and his
henchmen had crushed all opposition,
defeated announcement amendments and
had been subjected to bitter TRADES.
La Toilette, Cummins and others sta
ted fatty that the pledges of the party,
as made in convention had been di-
rectly violated, but the high tariff
champions laughed and voted.
From now on it is expected that
Pres. Taft, will take an active part in
shaping up the measure. He has con-
sistently declined to interfere in the
matter Of schedules during the pro-
gress of the bill through the house
and senate.
Ten Western senator's took their
stand against the bill and Aldricnism
and attacked it, but to no avail. Both
Minnesota senator's stood with the
minority and voted against the bill.
Before the final vote was taken there
were several spirited clashes between
Aldrich on the one side and Sens.
Nelson and Clapp of Minnesota, Be-
veridge of Indiana and Crawford of
South Dakota on the other.
The trouble started when Beveridge
took the floor against the bill, an.
nouncing that he wouldn't vote for it
because it was not in accordance with
the Republican pledges. This was fol-
lowed with hot retort by Aldrich,
who then took occasion to read the 10
Westerners lecture, saying that they
did not represent the party, and up
braided Beveridge for his assertion
that Taft was in favor of revision
downward.
Shouting at the top Of his voice,
Crawford, South Dakota, was on his
feet in minute, denouncing Aldrich
for his attempt to criticise him in the
matter of his Judgment. He was ably
backed by Clapp, Nelson and Bever-
idge.
1t takes more than the Senator
from Rhode Island or the state of
Rhode Island to read the State of
Minnesota out of the Republican par
ty," said Sen. Nelson, his voice chok-
ing with emotion. ssWhen the state
of Rhode Island has persisted from the
political map entirely the State of
Minnesota will still be marching
proudly at the head of the Republican
column
Aldrich was the nervous man of the
senate all day Thursday. He was back
and forth among his followers, urging
them to keep out the debate, but, to
remain to vote on the bill. To all at
tacks he made a short decisive reply
dHa waved theH aSlue Win MS nand.
If it were not for his control of the
situation, the debate would have
dragged along another day.

goes to the large packing houses at
six and halt cents pound and comes
out breakfast bacon at twenty-one
cents pound he is not the only hog
in the transaction.
