tariff bill.
The leaders are alarmed, and a
statement issued yesterday by promi-
nent member from the northwest indi-
Gates a state of decentralization on the
republican organization.
If present conditions remain un-
changed, it Is predicted that the pass
age of the Payne bill will be delayed
Indefinitely.
A statement was issued by one Of the
northwestern members, in which he
SAYS that at the last election three
essential things were demanded of the
republicans. These things were the
passage Of a. tariff bill; that it should
be national and not local in scope and
that it should be passed as quickly as
possible.
There is no disposition in the house
to live up to these demands. he says.
His conclusion is that the present bill
will be so changed that when 1t does
pass it will be mongrel.
