RANKS AGAINST THE

Standpat Republicans Fear Up
heaval of Masses in Missis-

aSh1ngton, April 12.-Ihe
action taken by the Indiana Re-
publican convention is proving
great stimulus to progressive
Sentiment throughout the middle
West. Information comes to
Washington that Indiana's I'M
willingness TO approve the Payne
Aldrich tariff act has had effect
in strengthening the determine
eion of numerous states to adopt
a similar course. In the Missis-
sippi Valley and states farther
west, Indiana's action has been
the ruling topic OF conversation.
In New England it has appre
GLADLY strengthened the element
that is battling against the DOM
ination OF reactionaries like Hale
in Maine. Aldrich in Rhode Is
land. Gallinger in New Hamp-
shire and Lodge in Ma Ssachu
sets. The reports received here
through political channels indi-
cate that the Pacific coast coun-
try where protection is strongly
-intrenched has been the least af-
fected.
Strong Republican states like
Iowa and Minnesota are almost
certain to follow the lead of In
diana and it is a foregone con-
clusion that Nebraska. Kansas,
WISCONSIN the Dakotas and other
states in that section of the coun-
try will take action that will en-
plIasize the extent of the upris-
ing against the objectionable fea-
lures of the tariff act.
Iowa Afraid of Tariff.
The standpat politicians out in
Iowa see the handwriting on the
wall and such eminent disciples
on the standpat faith "a LATE
Young OF Des Moines have been
urging President Taft not to
make the tariff the issue in Iowa.
ut heart, Mr.. Young is as con-
sistent a standpatter as Repre-
sentative Dalzell of Pennsylvania
but he knows the trend of senti-
ment In Iowa too we'll to conn
tenance any efforts to galvanize
the new tariff law into respecta-
bility III that state.
Reports from Minnesota are
IhaIi 1.-THE Indiana platform has
made a great hit in that stalwart
Republican commonwealth. Sen
united action OF all Of the stand
patters in and out of the state
would not be strong enough a.
this time to- force an Endorsement
OF that measure into the plat
form.
Senator Warner and the six
Republican representative from
Missouri voted for the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill, and they now
find themselves in an embarass-
ing predicament. 1t is regarded
as almost a foregone conclusion
that the opposition to the tariff
act will retire Senator Warner
TO private life this year.
In Missouri the candidates
make the state platform. They
will assemble at Jefferson City
in, August for the purpose oil
framing a declaration OF princi-
piles. The method of platform
making in Missouri is peculiar
and amounts practically to a
town meeting of candidates, in
which the candidates of the STATE
ticket, congressional ticket, leg
islative tickets and county candi-
dates are participants.
This year the aspirants for of
fee in Missouri are too closely
ators Clapp and Nelson never
were stronger before the people
than they are now. Minnesota S
close proximity to Canada has
given impetus to Canadian recip-
rocity as a popular demand, and
the Republicans of Minnesota
probably will vary somewhat
from the lead established by In
diana in declaring for reciprocity
with Canada.
Kansas is strongly progressive.
The people are heart and soul
with Senator Bristow and Gov
ernor Stubs and against reac-
tionaries OF the type of Senator
Curtis. One significant straw
showing the trend of sentiment
is the fact that in the districts re-
presented in Congress by insur-
gents there are no contests, while
the reactionary representatives
from the Sunhower state are on
the anxious seat.
Warner May Lose Seat.
Missouri is another state that
is being heard from since Indi-
ana took its advanced position.
