ELEVEN MEN--OR THREE-WHO
 ARE REWRITING TARIFF BILL

uency is depending on him in the conference room.
 Henry S. Boutell of Illinois Is a l friend of the ultimate consumer. He | is republican, but is not in favor of protection to the point of prohibition. William A. Calderhead of Kansas l believes in cheaper things for the l farmer and higher prices for his pro duce. He is the hearty champion of dutiable hides, and the tug of war between Mccall and Calderhead may be one of the illuminations of the conference
 Joseph w Fordney of Michigan is | heavily interested in lumber. He be. lieyes .n protection up to the sky.
 Minority Representatives.
 The democratic members on the house side are Minority Leader ! Champ Clark Of Missouri, Oscar Un.
 derwood of Alabama, and Jim Griggs of Georgia.
 Clark is an earnest foe of protec.
 tion and he thinks the whole tarifi
 bill is a humbug.
 MT. Underwood is interested in the
 steel and iron business, and knows
 the needs of this industry for protec tion His figures at the public hear.
 ings before the ways and means com. mittee were comprehensive and served the committee well.
 MT. Griggs is democrat who is slowly coming to the conclusion that the south should get a little protec. ltion as long as it is being handed
 around He is one of the funniest
 men in congress, and his sallies at
 the public hearings kept them from
 being as dull as nails. It will be up to Griggs to cheer the democratic
 members up if they get discouraged
 at the republican "Iniquities," because
 his colleagues are solemn men.
 Clark is a droll wit and likes a
 joke, but most of the time his face Is
 as solemn as an owls. Senator Bailey
 is always serious and Senator Daniel
 has the happy countenance Of a . Shakesperian tragedian- II Uncle Shelby CuIlom. One of the most interesting charac ] lters on the committee is Uncle Shelby
 Cullom. He has a habit of refusing !. to be sidetracked It was all fixed by |. the gossips around the senate a few , days ago that he would retire from , conference in favor of Senator [ Lodge of Massachusetts, Everybody
 Involved was consulted and agreed tt , the proposition except Mir. Cullom . When they got to him with the sug gestion he just wouldn't be side , itracked. He did the same thing onct . before, when the chairmanship of tn. } foreign relations committee was pick [ ed out as a nice place for Lodge Ey 3 erything was satisfactory then excep lthe attitude of Mir. Cullom. He woul' 7 not get out of the way.
 { Senators Hale and Burrows ar
 much of the same mind. Each man 1
 a doer and not talker, Senator Hal :, talks in the senate only when h e wants to scold somebody. At this h > is a wonder.
 o Senator Penrose is a great big ma a and a shrewd practical politician. n h took the place of the late Matt Qua g in Pennsylvania politics and he mea. $ ures up to that leaders standard. H IT is a bachelor. and lives in dowI e town hotel His particular pet ave-
 sion is Senator La Toilette. whose r' r publicanism he cannot tolerate an e whose new-fangled ideas jar with hi t ywn well organized political creed. n Senator Aldricn. the real conferre n 'e hnmau dynamo. He finds tim fl to do more wo-t fhsn any other ma r. n icone-ess His leadership durin Ig the tar,ff fehf has been absolute. an is not once has he been close to defes
 lust at the tsr"o when the income ia c proposition looked formidable he tur 'r ed the trick of shelving 1t and snbsi It. tutipv the coronation tax. Early 4 n fife Mfr. Aldrich was clerk in gr
 cerv store. Now he owns trolley ra u- roads and lots Of othe things. l O. cidentaIlv his daughter Is the wife on John D. Rockefeller. tr.. but he doesr vd like to he called the fatherin-law It. Standard oil.
