DEMOCRATS TO CUT OUT
RECIPROCITY SPEECHES.
Many of Those Who Will Vote
for Canadian Pact Salts
fled Not to Talk.

Many of the democratic senator's who
are going to vote in favor Of the Cana
dian reciprocity bill have decided that
they will make no speeches on the meas
ure, and there is a tacit agreement to
that effect.
Thus they will escape responsibility for
a protracted session of Congress and es-
Cape any blame that may be attached for
keeping business interests stirred up by
keeping Congress working at tariff re-
vision.
The democrats in general-and there are
admittedly exceptions-are DESTROYS OF go
ing to their homes and giving the coun-
try a rest from tariff agitation until next
winter. They do not want speeches OF
theirs to prolong the time before the reci-
procity bill IL acted upon. And they will
be satisfied to have a record roll call on
the democratic tariff bills passed by the
House.
The regular republicans are also gener-
ally with them in the desire to end the
session. Although there have been some
statements in the Senate about the lack
of oratory in support OF the Canada
regular republicans defense of the
measure. 1t IL not to hear from them,
they are arguing. that the session Is be-
ing prolonged.
Insurgents Responsible.
This attitude on the part OF both the
democrats and the regular republicans
puts the responsibility Of prolonging the
session up TO the insurgent republicans.
In attempting the fixing Of date for q
vote on the reciprocity agreement Chair
man Penrose found that it was the in
surgent republicans who were opposed
They contended that the bill must be
thoroughly argued. II the democrats and
the regular republicans hold to their
plan. it will be the insurgents and the
handful OF regular republicans opposed to
the bill who will be heard.
The attitude OF the democrats. which
became. generally known today. gives
hope that the debate on the reciprocity
bill will not be as protracted as has been
feared, and that adjournment Is not like
the pot Of gold at the end Of the rain
bow. 1t is estimated that there are not
more than thirty opponents OF the reci-
procity measure. AS several Of those
have already spoken it would seem that.
at the rate OF one q day. the opponents
could get through their attacks on the
bill within month, and Congress could
adjourn by August j.
Widely different reasons the opponents
of reciprocity are giving for their oppo-
sition. Standpat regulars are contendinG
down the protective system; insurgents
argued that 1t does not go far enough.
The standpatters urged Its defeat in It's
entirety, and insurgents urge that II be
amended so that 1t will provide . greater
reduction in duties.

contrast between the Japanese awaken
