Such was the program of the leading
Republican members of the senate COM,

{ at. 10 o'clock today. That the plan

When the; senate was called to order,
the ice-presidents had received notifi-S
X cation from Sehat tors DollVer, Elkins,

rose, Flint Dick, Hepburn and Bradley
that they desired to speak on the tariff
either before or after the passage of the
bill. On this account 1t was expected
the session would be prolonged either

Senator Dolliver. opening his remarks
with a defense of his course as a Re-
publican in contending for lower Gus
toms duties, denied the right of other
u,epublicanj senators to question his
position in the senate a position which
he said was dictated by his conscience.

should meet the efforts of senator to !
change the tariff laws of the United
States.,'S5 Isl Il
The people Of his state, he added. had
been referred to as farm folk while
the state itself had been declared to be
unreliable given to populIsm and
sreenbackism. Iowa, he insisted, had
always been loyal to Republican STAN
dards and still was upholding the best
interests of the protective policy.
Here he added, Eve have had the
spectacle of men compelled to bargain
with the authorities which control The
senate for the protection OF their own
people. Majorities are obtained by a
system OF reciprocity arranged in the
citadel OF protection"
