 best they can circumvent the demo crats in the present crisis. Whereas two weeks ago it looked very much as though congress would adjourn at least by August 1, it now seems that congress is likely to stay in | session until December or at least late in the fall Republican leaders are discussing the advisability of considering tariff revision at this' session. and Speaker Champ Clark's determined stand with the president to get the credit of revising the tar in it must be started soon by the republicans themselves. The spectacle of a republican sen ate. backed by a republican presi dent forcing the tariff revision prop osition on the country at the regu- lar session of congress beginning next winter probably has been knocked in the head. The dream of the president and his close advisers in congress has been dissipated They are preparing now to ron up their sleeves and force the is- sue at the present session. The con stitution of the United States re- quires the house to originate all bills relating to revenue. and the house is democratic and not anxious to see the tariff issue removed from the 1912 campaign
 Cry of the interests.
 Congress is beginning to fell the pressure Of important business tol settle down and pursue the even tenor of it's way. Republican sena- tors from states where there are big protected interests are begin ming to hear from home They are being urged to do something to stop the endless tarif legislation and they are getting suggestions that it | might be better to revise the tariff under a republican senate.
 Some of the important protected interests of Pennsylvania are coming to be of this mind That is why Senator Penrose Of Pennsylvanas, as well as Representative DaIzell of the same state. are beginning to say so in interviews. and will shortly let if become officially known that they favor tariff revision
 Consequently it is rumored that this condition will force republicans in the house and the senate into demanding some sort of considera- ton of tarih revision al this ses- 1 sion.
 Scheme That Fsiies.
 If things had turned out as Pres 1 ident Taft had expected and as certain senators and republicans had hoped. the senate would have quick l ly agreed to Canadian reciprocity i and the president would have signed the measure. Congress would then have adjourned to meet again next December. when President Taft would have sent in a strong message dealing with tariff revision based on the findings of the tariff board.
 The matter would have become the great question of the session, and no matter what it's outcome. whether the tariff was revised downward or upward or sideways, the republican, party would have had the benefit OF the results in the 1912 campaign President Taft would have had plen- ty of material for innumerabte speeches on any trips he might have taken and altogether everything would have been in good shape toi start off the republican campaign aus plSRDAoAF
 Woodrow Wilson. Champ Clark Judson Harmon. and other leadins lights and possible candidates of the democratic party would have been lacking in vote getting material, and the prospects for democratic success | at the polls might have received serious blow.
 Now. however, everything is of good aspect in republican ranks unless the inevitable happehs-name- " revision of the tariff schedules at the present session. All the best laid plans of the republican cam uaign managers and others have been knocked into a cooked hat rv the diplomatic move of Speaker Champ Clark
 What the next few weeks of this extra session of congress may bring forth is DToblematicsls but at pres ent highly interesting happenings are on the program.
