in a speech that breathed defiance
and condemned the insurgent Repub-

wise several schedules of the present

The president singled out Senator
La Toilette of Wisconsin, Speaker
Champ Clark and Chairman Under

committee, as leaders of the attempt
ed revision and charged them with
playing politics."
Several times he referred by name
to Mr.. La Toilette. but mentioned the

Mr.. Taft indicated that he regard
ed the proposed revision as injurious
and dangerous to business, but made
it plain that If the tariff board in
December reported that downward
revision of the cotton and wool seized

mend a reduction.
