In order to effect this reduction

TAFT HEEDS HIS
! COUNTRY'S CALL
Insists Upon Downward Re-
vision Of Tariff.
TALKS TO REPUBLICANS

Twenty.three Congressman Call at
White House to Protest Against
Placing OF Raw Materials on Free
Llst--Are Told That Party Is Com.
mitted to Lower Duties by Plat.
form Pledge, Which He Considers a
Personal Promise to the People.
Washington, July 17.--All doubt as
to where President Taft stands with
regard to the downward revision of
the tariff was swept away when a
statement was given out at the
White House setting forth In detail
what the president had to say TO 20
Republican members of congress- who
called to protest against putting raw
materials on the free list.
The president in this statement de.
clared that the Republican party is
committed to q downward revision
that he has never had any other idea
of the Chicago platform, and That he
personally has promised a downward
revision to the people.
This statement is interpreted in
some quarters here as a direct noti.
fcation to the conferees on the tariff
bill that IL the measure they finally
agree upon does not constitute a ma
terial reduction in specific duties, the
president will exercise his power OF
veto.
Dictated in the third person, the
statement concludes with this final
word of the presidents attitude as
outlined to HIS callers.
He felt strongly the call Of the
country for downward revision
within the limits OF the protective
principle and he hoped to be able to
respond to that call as he heard IL, as
well In the interests of the party as
the country.
The presidents statement created
a decided sensation among senators
and representatives who became ac-
quainted with It's contents. The
statement was shown to Senator Al
drich. He made no direct comment
upon It, but said that the conferees
had decided to let Mr.. Taft, deal with
schedules upon which they could not
agree. 1t being UP to the president to
secure the votes necessary to pass
the measure in the form in which 1t
would be reported out OF conference.
Speaker Cannon declared that the
statement contained nothing to which
any man could object.
