strikebreakers had been placed by the

Republicans For Veto.

An analysis of the answers of the Re-
pIblicans who are in favor of the sign
ing of the bills makes il evident that
a considerable number of them would
support the president heartily II he
should see fit to veto them. There are
men who base their desire for the
signing Of the bills on the ground OF
political expediency and not on any
definite conviction that IL would be the
most logical or most Just thing to dc
or the thing which would be best Tor
the country. Their feeling seems to be
that II he does not do II he will fur.
nish campaign material for his enc.
mics and that for that reason he should
sign the bills.
More than three-fifths of the Repub-
licans, however. favor no compromise
and many of them express willing
ness to stick by the president to the
last ditch in putting through his pro,
gram Of scientific revision of the tarift
schedule by a commission.
Democrats Stand Solid.
OF the independent editors one+third
are for the veto OF the bills and two
thirds favor the signing OF them. The
Democrats stand solidly behind their
representatives in congress. Where
their answers are at all extended IL is
apparent that they are based upon a
distrust Of the tariff commission as un.
fair or loaded" a feeling that IL the
schedules set are proved by the COM
mission TO be wrong they can be again
revised and an inclination to swat the
''robber tariff" on every possible oc.
casion.
The states are evenly split on the
question, six giving u majority in favor
Of the signing OF the bills and six i'm
favor of their veto. Four of the for
ner are particularly interesting-North
Dakota. South Dakota, Nebraska and
Minnesota. the grain states nearest
Canada and presumably most affected
by reciprocity. In these states not on
ly is there a majority in favor of the
signing of the bills. but IL is majority
not due to the votes Of Democratic ed
itors. The Republicans in North Da.
kota for instance. are more than TO l
in favor OF the signing of the bills.

Chicago, Aug. 9.-The Chicago Tri.
bune presents the sentiment of the
Central West on the knotty tariff prob
lem, in which the passage of the wool.
cotton and farmers free list bills by
combination of Democrats and insur-
gent Republicans threatens to involve
President Taft. Over LOO kilograms
were sent from The Tribune Office to
editors i'm twelve states, asking their
view on the following questions:
in your judgment should President
Taft sign the wool bill, the farmers
free list bill and the cotton bill?
DO you believe the president should
veto these bills and wait for reports
from the tariff commission on which
scientific reduction can be based?"
The kilograms were sent to states in
known by the federal census as the
East North Central and West
North Central" divisions. which in
clude Minnesota, Ohio, Indiana. ILL

one-fourth of the population Of the ma
ton and are the great agricultural
states. supposedly most insistent upon
the tariff changes because Of desire
to compensate for the alleged adverse
effects of reciprocity upon their prod,
ucts.
Majority Favors Signing.
The poll shows majority in favor
of the signing of the bills by the presi-
dent, but 1t shows an overwhelming
majority of Republicans against such
action. Democratic editors voted al
most solidly along party lines, but the
Republican and Independent respond
ents were badly split. The majority
of them, however, were lined up be-
hind the president and the tariff com.
mission. A summary of the poll fol-
