mistic than ever before.
Events of the last few days in the
Senate. and especially the announce
ment last evening that the committee
on finance expects to report the reci-
procity bill Wednesday. without amend
nient. have led Mr.. Taft to believe
that his pet program will be ratified
with dispatch.
Several weeks ago, when the Root
amendment was being pushed with
vigor before the committee. and stories
were current that the measure would
be burdened down with amendments
to kill 1t, the President. 1t is under
stood, was alarmed. Since then he has
summoned a number OF senators to the
White House. and. judging from the
occurrences of the last week, he has
won over enough supporters to insure
victory.
Senator Penrose, chairman of the COM
mittee in charge Of the bill, is quoted
as saying that the reciprocity measure
will be made the unfinished business OF
the Senate when the resolution providing
for direct election of senators Is dis
posed Of June II. Judging from this,
officials Of the administration say, vote
may be expected on the Canadian pact
by the latter part OF July.

leave for Chicago. He will address the
Irish Fellowship Club in that city Sat
ciety that night. He will leave Chicago
for this city Sunday morning, according
