Await Message of Veto.

Republicans in both houses Of Congress
are now mainly interested in what the
President will say in his message vetoing
the wool bill The action of the confer
ence committee this morning in delegat-
ing' to Senator La Toilette and Repre-
sentative Underwood the drawing up of a
compromise bill was in pursuance of the
policy Of the republicans to allow the
allies TO make the bill. confident that
the President will veto IL.
They say that added emphasis will be
given the anti-republican character of
the bill by thus turning over to the dem
ocrats and their republican allies full
charge of the measure and giving them
free hand in its drafting. They thus
hope TO strengthen the Presidents hand
and give him more power to the elbow
In welding the veto pen and claiming
that the bill Is in every way obnoxious
20 republican tariff principles.
Some republicans are Of opinion that
the President may yet find ground
upon which he can veto the forthcom-
ing bill and meet the approval Of rank
and file of republicans of the country
At any rate they confidently expect he
will appeal successfully to the business
interests OF the land, whatever the eff
feet may be upon the consumer at
large.
Point to Inconsistency.
They are urging him to point out the
alleged Inconsistency of the progress
sive republicans on the question of
awaiting the verdict of the tariff
board. The progressive republicans.
Senator's La Toilette and Cummins
especially, were among the most ar
dent advocates Of the tariff board at a
time when the standpatters in the
Senate were fighting Il. They insisted
upon the appointment of the tariff
board 10 gather necessary data upon
the wool industry.
The regular republicans claim now
that the President can go before the
people ina nasupport of his veto with the
fnsistence that II is unwise policy to
have revision of the wool schedule al
this time. with the possibility of an
other revision being necessftated by
report of the tariff board next winter
thus unsettling the trade twice within
a twelvemonth.
The regular republicans are hoping
for ringing message from the Presi-
dent exposing what they declare to be
the inconsistency of the attitude OF
the progressive republicans and calline
attention TO the efforts of his political
opponents 10 put him in a hole" on
