Mr.. Roberts said that had the claim
been made three months ago, that the
state of Maine would go Democratic
at tho recent election 1t would have
beon called ..absurd" And to claim
that the results of this election would
give control of the United States
senate to the Democrats would not
he heyond the limits or possibility, ac-
corf1iur to the speaker, yet such
claim would be branded as absurd,
nv Republican speakers.
The speaker devoted considerable
lima ia tho PAYNE Aldrich tariff bill.
He said the senior senator of this
.tatn had said in a speech at Saltair
fhat there would be d demand for q
i,is,,e ta,.iff than that recently enact
ed and .denies what Is elsewhere
conccded that the Republican party
was fpledgcd to n revision of tho
tariff downward
