Long and Acrimonious Debate Pre-.
cedes Final Action.-Majority of
Republicans Against
Bill.

Taft's reciprocity agreement with Can
ada was ratified in the house of repre-.
sentatives through the support OF an
almost solid Democratic vote. The
Mccall bill, carrying the agreement
into effect, was passed, 221 to 81.
A majority of the Republicans present
voted against the measure, the divi-
sion being 70 ayes and 81 noes. The
Democratic vote was lab ayes and
only FIVE noes. A majority Of the Re
publican insurgents present voted for
the bill.
The passage Of the bill in the house
came at the end of long debate,
which at times was as bitter rs has
been heard on the floor Of that cham
Der in years. The fight was confined
almost wholly to the Republican side.
Democratic members Joined in from
time to time and tainted the majority
members for their lack of unity.
The Democratic leaders also put in
the claim that the reciprocity agree
ment was good Democratic doctrine
and declared that they were glad to
welcome President Taft and many of
the house Republicans into the Demo.
cratic fold. The suggestion came from
the Republican side that Mr.. Taft and
Champ Clark might be rivals for the
next Democratic PRESIDENTIAL nomina-
ton. Mr.. Clark claimed that in a
contest of that sort he would win
hands down."
Republicans Pessimistic.
Some of the old guard Republican
leaders like Dalzell of Pennsylvania
and Fordney of Michigan vieled but
thinly their predictions that the Re-
publican party would be defeated by
reason of what they characterized a
departure from the principle of pro-
lection and the espOusal of free trade.
Mr.. Dalzell proposed to stand where
he had stood for 40 years and to "go
down" with his party. Mr.. Fordney
said he feared that Democratic times
were coming and it made him Sweat
blood" to contemplate the melancholy
fact.
The final vote, by which the bill
was passed, was as follows:
