TAFT HEARS FRIENDS
AND FOES OF PACT
Tim Woodruff Here; Sees Repub-
lican Defeat Unless Condi-

While at the White House today SEN
ator Root said there was great oppo-
sition in the Senate to any action not
contemplated in the call for the extra
session Of Congress and that he would
not be surprised if Congress adjourned
as soon as the reciprocity bill was voted
upon.
There seems to be an unconscious re-
sistence on the part of members Of
Congress, especially in the Senate, to
any action at session like this one,
except such action as the session was
caped upon to take when the call was
issued
The session has been called to deal
with the reciprocity program and it. ap-
pears that matter alone will engage
the attention Of the Senators. l can
not say when vote on the bill will be
taken"
Silent on Deadlock.
The Senator declined TO discuss the
deadlock in the upper house on the
election of President pro tenn. He
could not see why the position was so
very important anyway, since it car
ried no advantages not enjoyed by the
member on the floor
The President will receive seventv-
FIVE members of the Buffalo Chamber
or Commerce and twenty-five members
OF the Ohio Grange this afternoon. The
Buffalo delegation is strongly for reci-
procity, Ind will congratulate the Pres

said that unless business improved the
Democrats would be in an excellent
position TO carry New York in the Presi-
dental year.
You know it is the practice of busi

blame the party in power for ha rd
times, for famines. droughts and other
natural and unnatural disasters, and
unless commercial conditions improve
/ fear the Democratic party will take
advantage of the fact and carry the
State.

"of course. We always expect improve

as it should, there is no reason why
we should not carry the State. Presi-
