The failure of the senate to keep
the promise made to the people by

vision of the tariff downward was the
theme Of Senator BeVeridge as the de-
bate on the pending bill was drawing

in harmony with our party's pledge
as voiced by our party's leader and
the nations president"
Suggesting that the Insurgents
passage of the bill in conformity with
their previous action, Mr.. Beveridge
said they would do so as a notice to
the conferees to bring back bill in
which there should be decreases of
duties. Mr.. Beveridge was answered
by Mr.. Aldrich, who said he had often
seen men interpret their own Judg-
ment as the judgment of their party.
The Republican party is a party
of majorities," he added, land the
views of the majority in matters of
legislation control party policies.
THE senator from Indiana does
not speak for the Republican party.
He has no right to call here the
name Of the president of the United
States in support of any suggestion
which he has made" Mr.. AIdrich
declared the pending bill was a full
of the party's pledges. eff

bill" he said, they should not at
tempt to speak for their party"
