THURSDAY EVENING. DEC. 10
As resnlt Of the rebuke Of DIE re-

AsA result OF the rebuke OF the re-
cent tariff revision fiasco by the people
at the polls, both parties have been
spurred 10 sudden activity, and both APP
reared on Monday in the role OF ener-
getic competitors for the honor OF be-
ing known as simon pure tariff re-
yisionists. While Senator AldrIch, the
chief manipulation IN the log rolling
that made the existing law, was plously
protesting himself, in the Senate that
day. 10 favor OF revision by topics,
Chairman Payne, OF the House com
miltee Of ways and means, co-head
devil with Aldrich. was occupying a
front place on the mourner's bench IN
committee AMI assuring a sympathetic
world that for q long time he bad
favored piecemeal revision. Mean
while, Mr.. Champ Clark, not TO allow
the recent converts TO run away with
all the glory, was sending out scouts to
confer on a caucus OF the House demo
crats; this caucus possibly to bc held
tomorrow, TO call a caucus OF the DDS
democratic members-elect to the next
House to meet somewhere in January
and designate same means for select
ing the democratic members OF the
WAYS and means committee. Mr..
Clark's idea is to get action for tariff
revision as soon as possible from the
next House and this should be the ef-
fort OF all good citizens.
