MUST PASS CANADIAN BILL
THAT is THE ONLY WAY TO
AVOID EXTRA SESSION.
Such is the Ultimatum Sent to the
Senate by President
Taft.

Washington, Mar. 2-President Taft
swung the big stick. Again the story
came to the White house that a
frameup was in progress in the SEN
ate to avoid an extra session by vot
ing upon the reciprocity agreement
and defeating it.
Those opposed to the Mccall bill,
SO the president was told are willing
for reciprocity to come to a vote il
assured in advance that it cannot
pass. There are senators who declare
that enough Democrats can be
pledged to the opposition to carry
this agreement into effect But snag
has been struck.
The president sent word to the cap
itol that if any evidence of frameup
adverse to reciprocity came to him he
would call an extra session anyway.
Mr.. Taft decreed that the senate must
not only vote on the Mccall bill, il
that body wants to prevent a special
session, but it must pass it.
