National G. O. P. Convention
to Assemble June 18.
J. F. HILL HEADS COMMITTEE
Formal Statement Issued by Commit.
teemen of Indiana and Ohio Ad-
vising Against Renomina.
ton of Taft

WASHINGTON, Dec 13-At the meet
ing of the Republican national commit
tee Chicago was chosen as the place
and June is, 1912, as the date for the
next Republican convention. ExGov.
ernor John F. Hill of Maine was chos-
en- as chairman III the place of Frank
H. Hitchcock, resigned, and Harry S.
New was made head of a subcommit'
tee on convention arrangements
In the choice of Mr. New the Taft
forces won victory in hard fought
battle.
The Republican national committee
here had hardly decioed these ques-
lions and concluded its other business
with a fair show of harmony when E
F. Lee, chairman of the Republican
state committee of Indiana, and En-
Senator Beveridge's lieutenant, issued
a formal statement, of which these
sentences are the burden:
Mr.. Taft cannot carry Indiana, If
he is the nominee our fight is lost be-
fore a gun is fired"
Republican national leaders discern
in Lees statement move on the part
of the Beveridge wing of the party in
Indiana to fall in behind the Roose-
welt movement.
Harry New, Republican national
committeeman from Indiana said
when he heard of the Lee statement:
Il knew several days ago that Lee
was coming to Washington to make
this statement. | disagree absolutely
with his demonstrations in regard to
the effect Of President Taft's nominal
ton. l believe Mr.. Taft is the strong
est man the party can nominate and
do not believe that th> Republicans of
Indiana will be affected by Mr. Lees
pessimistic views"
On the heels of the Lee statement
came another formal statement, from
Walter F. Brown, chairman of the Ohio
Republican state committee Mr.
Brown declared a few days ago that
Roosevelt was the choice Of the Ohio
Republicans for president and he has
been urging for several days that the
Republican national committeeman
provide a way for the holding of
Republican primary for the selection
of Ohio's delegates at large to the ma
tional convention
1t was the failure of the national
committee to meet his views in this
respect that led Mr.. Brown to issue an
other statement. This statement in
Inmates that the failure of the COM
mittee in this respect will result in a
more determined fight in Ohio.

TARIFF is THE THING
coUNTRY'S INTERESTS GUARDED
BY REPUBLICANS.
Reciprocity With Canada, the Grand
Stand Play" of the Democrats,
VIII Not Deceive the In
telilgent Voters.

The leaders OF the Democratic ma
Jority In the lower house of congress
are playing clever political game.
Whether or not it proves successful
will depend first upon their ability to
avoid mistakes in carrying out their
program and second upon the attitude
of the Republican senate.
What the Democratic congressman
are seeking is of course. the favor of
the country. They argue correctly
that there is no better way In which to
make a good impression quickly than
to pass the Canadian reciprocity bill
as soon as possible. This they have
done. But they have decided to go
even farther. On the chance that
standpatters may seek to hold up the
bill In the senate, Chairman Under
wood OF the ways and means commit
tee has announced that the house will
refuse to adjourn until the reciprocity
measure has been enacted into law.
Whether we would block adjourn
ment because the senate would rot &C
cept Democratic tariff bills" says Mr..
Underwood, SIS another question. We
In the house are only concerned with
passing our legislative program. If
the senate will not accept it then 1t is
up to the senate to take the RESPONSE
bilfty. We will not hesitate TO go to
the country on the issue"
From the tone of Mr.. Underwood s
talk 1t is evident that he and. the other
house leaders secretly hope the senate
Will balk on the reciprocity bill as
well as on their tariff bills also. But
any such expectation regarding the
reciprocity bill is probably doomed TO
disappointment. The bill will be
fought In the senate, but It IS well
known that a majority of that body
are In favor of It,
AS the chairman of the ways and
means committee says, the tariff bills
are another question. The Democrats
in the house are proceeding to their
preparation with a degree of haste
that Is likely to prove dangerous. The
subject is one of the widest in its
scope and most perplexing that legis-
lators are ever called upon to consid-
err. To formulate equitable tariff
schedules requires vast amount of
information that can be obtained in no
other way than by the long continued
work of experts.
If the Democratic congressman sue
coed in framing satisfactory tariff
schedules they will accomplish more
than can reasonably be expected of
them. II Will be more than leaders
of their party ever have been able to
do In the past. And senatorial opposi.
ton to injurious tariff measures will
meet with the approval of the country
Just as soon as the country becomes
acquainted with their nature.

DEMOCRATS AND THE TARIFF
Election Promises and Platform
Pledges VIII Not Be Found
Easy to Carry Out.

Two years ago the Republicans
promptly took up the task OF tariff re-
vision. Their campaign promises were
fresh. their mandate from the people
equally so. One argument in favor Of
early action was that the new law
would thus have more than a year of
trlal before the next national election
day-a sufficient time in which to
justify Itself If of the right kind.
The task divided the party. In
surgency developed In both house and
senate, and In the senate proved ex-
ceedingly strong. At last, however, q

signed 1t. 1t made good the claims of

WIN their campaign promises fresh
and their mandate from the people
ringing in their ears, the Democrats
are now to take up their task. What
VIII they do to be saved? One arg,l.
ment In favor Of action by them now
Is that they will obtain hearing of
more than year for whatever thew
may accomplish. The next national
election day Is in November of next
year. If the Republican senate re-
jects the labors of the Democratic
house, or accepts them. voters will
nave full time to mediate on the rec.
ord and record their conclusions at
the polls.
