THE DEMOCRATS
 ~ ARE JUBILAN1
Did Not Misjudge Sentiment On Can adian Pact on the Part of the
 Masses.

International News Special
 Washington, April 22.-There is jubilation among the Demdcrats over the fact that it was by their vote hat the Canadian Reciprocity pact was pushed through the House by a vote so decisive as to point halt ing Senate to away blaze by the wish es of the people. Telegrams have been pouring in on those who voted for the measure in such numbers as to convince them they had not mis- judged the extent of the sentiment of the misses in favor of free trade re- lations with Canada and the opening of the markets of both countries to lessen restrictive competition.
 There is universal endorsement and commendation of the courage of Chairman Underwood, of the Ways and Means Committee, in uncovering the great monopolistic interests that worked to defeat the bill, because by this act he will have aligned against him allied interests. Encouraged by their success with the Canadian pact the Demdcratic leaders will go right along with the legislative program.
