the cases of at least three leading men,

ow the great event cast before it, and
stood from under. Senator Aldrich re-
fused to stand for reelection, as did
Senator Hale of Maine and Senator Flint
of California. Maine skidded to the
democrats, and California went romping

general belief is that Senator Aldrich

But despite this Beverage won his way

Then, also. he saw the tariff commission

brand on this scheme years before any

Congress was no fit body to revise the
tariff Only u nice, mellow, studious
