Senator Dillingham; Says He TX.

Believes II Likely That Some Iusur-

with Democrats in Tarir Leg
islation.

Senator W. 2. Dillingham;, who is pass
ing part of the recess. before the open-
ing of the extra session of Congress in
Montpelier was interviewed by a Journal
reporter. and when asked for MS reasons
for voting in favor of Senator Lorimer he
said he would be unable to explain the
situation fully in n short article as 1T In
wolves details that cannot he brought out
except in long explanation.
In speaking OF the extra session Sena-
tor Dillingham; said 1t is an impossbility
to predict how long 1t will Las; as past
experience with the tariff question has
shown great deal of time IS required
When asked If he expected the so-called
insurgents to cooperate with regular re-
Iublicans of the Senate or If = part of
item will unite with the democratic mem
bers on the tariff question and thus give
he democrats tho controlling vote in the
Senate the senator said it is possible the
insurgents may cooperate with the dem
ocrals for the reason mat during the
progress OF the Payne tariff bill in the
Senate the insurgents. almost without
exception, voted with the democrats for
the reduction Of duties on all classes of
manufactured goods, particularly those
produced in New England.
In connection with the tariff question
he said il Is possible the democratic lead
crs may attempi at the extra session to
take UP individual schedules of the ex-
isting law separately. but he did not be-
lieve they will he able to carry out such
. scheme, No Joint rule has been adopted
for such procedure and the oohates at
the last session disclosed difficulties in
the way Of such legislation that seemed
insurmountahle and on que: lion so
many sided as that presented by tariff
revision there is a disposition not to fol-
low leaders, but for representatives of
d ferent sections Of the county to pro-
tect the interests Of their constituents.
Owing TO these circums ances it is i'm
possible for anyone to say what will be
done with the matter in the Senate. ter
it Is passed by the House.
The senator's opinion In regard 10 re-
o!procity is that the bill will! pass the
Senate, as in the House it received all
but five Of the democratic vote. and he
knows of no reason why 1t will not COM
mand the support of the democrats in
the Senate. which with the republican
votes the bill will receive. will be SUM
Client to make 1t a law. Many amend
ments will be proposed and these and The
| main measure will be thoroughly dis
| cussed.
Senator Dillingham; said he believed the
progressive element Of the republican
| party which through the Paynp-tariff bill
| advocated reductions Of dut,eS on all
manufactured articles but insisted on full
protection for all agricultural products,
will not be willing to let the measure
rass without notifications
Referring to the proposed constitutional
amendment providing for the election Of
senators by popular vote Senator billing

so close that its passage will he no sur

He thinks It will he well to submit
the matter to the people 1T the proper
time, but 1t should not be don. until the

make in the fundamental principal upon
which the government Is founded
eso was the clearest presentation OF the
subject that had ever been made until
Senator Root spoke on the matter At the
last session. In these two speeches the
speakers rose to the height OF statesman
ship, and whether their views arc accept
ed or rejected no intelligent man desiring
to fully acquant himself with the i'm
portance OF the proposed chanse can az
ford to leave them unread.
After the reorganization there Will be

As usual, Senator Dillingham; said. when
asked about possible presidential candI-
dates for 1912 there are a number in both
parties already looking for the place but
he did not care to discuss the matter.
