Among the noteworthy points re.
garding the passage Of the Canadian
bill through congress is the fact
that, warmly as it was indorsed by
President Taft and his administra-
ton, the bill received the affirma.
tive votes of only IS Republican
members of both houses, while lOl
Republicans of both houses voted
against it.
The bill received the votes OF
every New England and Eastern
state Republican. with three excep.
tlons, while the solid Republican
vote Of the middle Western states,
with the exception of three senator's,
was cast against it. Of the states oi
the Northwest and Mississippi Val.
ley, the votes of only three Repub.
lican senator's were cast for it: Ste.
phenson of Wisconsin, Cullom of Hi.
nols and Townsend of Michigan.

member could muster, in the efforts
of the opponents of the bill to
change its character, was shown by
the vote on amendments offered by
Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, the
object of which was to restore half
OF the present rates on cereals, live
cattle, ETC., instead of removing the
duties entirely, as is proposed in
the Canadian bill as it passed. The
Nelson amendments mustered the
votes of % to its support. Practi.
cally all other amendments received
from a dozen to Is votes.
