TO VOTE ON TARIFF BILLS
Senate Likely to Defeat Them
Next Week.
[ From Mo Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington. July lS-On demand Of
the Democrats. who desire all the ma
terial they can gather for campaign pur-
poses. the Senate agreed to-day TO vote
on the wool bill on Thursday, the excise
tax bill on Friday anG the free sugar bill
on Saturday of next week, together with
such amendments as may be offered TO
them. 1t is expected that all Of the
measures will be defeated.
1t was proposed TO vote on the sugar
bill before the excise tax bill, but Senator
Stone objected to this arrangement on
the ground that there was no occasion
for passing an excise tax bill If the free
sugar bill were defeated. Republican
Senators promptly agreed to change the
order
There was general feeling Of salts
faction on both sides of the chamber over
the adoption of the agreement and the
assurance that at least some Of the OBJ
stacles in the way of adjustment had
been removed. Senator Warren, how
ever, made the depressing prediction that
Congress would not be able TO adjourn
until at least thirty days after the appro-
priation bills had been passed.
The sundry civil bill is now before the
Senate, and tho postoffice bill. heavily
laden with legislation. probably Will be
reported Tomorrow or Saturday. An
army bill that will be satisfactory to the
President and both houses OF Congress
also remains to be passed

gBy Telegraph to The Tribune

Sea Girt, n. j., July Ex-Governor VIII
son, after a long conference with nine OF
his trusted advisers to-day, selected four
teen prominent Democrats, representing
all parts of the United States, to super
wise his campaign as the Democratic can
didate for President this fall
The most significant thing about the
makeup of the committee Is that only
eight of its members are national commit
teemen and that many oldtime Democrats
who heretofore have had prominent part
in national campaigns have been ignored.
The campaign committee, as selected oy
Governor Wilson, is as follows:
william +. McCombs. chairman OF the
national committee. who will also be chair
man of the campaign committee.
Robert s. Hudspeth, national commit
teeman from New Jersey.
Joseph +. Davies, national committee
man from Wisconsin, also secretary OF
the national committee.
A. Mitchell Palmer. national commit
teeman from Pennsylvania.
Josephus Daniels, national committee
man from North Carolina.
willard Salisbury, national committee
man from Delaware.
Colonel Robert Ewing. national commit
teeman from Louisiana.
Judge VIII r. King. national commit
teeman from oregon.
Senator James A. O'Gorman. OF New
York.
Senator Thomas p. Gore, OF Oklahoma.
Senator James 4. Reed, OF Missouri.
Representative Daniel s. McGillicu1dy,
OF Maine.
Representative Albert Burleson, OF
Texas.
william G. McAdoo, OF New York.
Perhaps the most interesting feature OF
the Governors campaign committee IS his
selection of Senator James A. Reed. OF
Missouri Senator Reed was one OF the
last ditch" Clark men at the Baltimore
convention. He nominated the Speaker
and stood by him when the greater part
Of his supporters had left him, and his
selection as one Of the Governors cam
paign managers indicates desire on the
part OF the Democratic candidate for
President to heal. II possible. some OF the
sores opened up in the recent conflict,
which Speaker Clark. on his visit here on
Saturday. showed were not yet entirely
healed

tired OF third party organization ana

got a chance The report amused Colo

reversal OF the truth and pointed TO the
fact that the Senator, with his sleeves
rolled up, was this very day at work or
ganizing the new party in Georgia.
Ralph c. Otis and Day McBirney. T. r.
men from Chicago, were out here to-day
TO assure Colonel Roosevelt that Illinois
was Sin great shape" They admitted
that Governor Deneen puzzled them a
whole lot, but they expected that he
would come out for Roosevelt just as
soon as the ex-Presidcnt announced how
he stood regarding the control OF big
business. The emissares assured the
candidate that they would take care OF
their territory if he would take care OF
'his part OF the country" Their avowal
that the prospects In the East were get

predict that he would carry Brooklyn

Mr. Mckinney assured the colonel that

CONGRESS PLANS TO QUIT
House Programme May Permit
Early Adjournment.
TTrom The Tribune Bureau. !

Washington, July ia legislative pro-
gramme which will keep the House busy
for at least a week was adopted to-day on
motion of Representative Henry. chair
man OF the rules committee. Mr.. Henry
reported resolution giving privileged
status to seven measures which are now
buried on the regular calendar.
Representative Rodenbery. Georgia
Democrat, who has frequently shown In
surgent tendencies, conducted a short I'LL
buster against the rule. but his efforts
were futile. Under the rule adopted to-
dav the House will grind away at the fol-
lowing bills while the Senate debates
Panama Canal legislation:
A bill to abolish Involuntary servitude
on the high seas: the Adamson bill pro-
yiding for the physical valuation or rail-
roads; a measure to regulate the use OF
wireless telegraphy and another to amend
the steamship inspection law; "A bill pro-
yiding federal aid To state agricultural
colleCes in disseminating information re-
garding scientific farming, and bill pro-
yiding for the registration OF American
ships and the free entry of materials for
the repalr and construction OF such ships.
Representative Mann, the minority
leader, was successful In amending the
rule so as 70 include also his bill to pro-
hibit the importation OF diseased nursery
stock and adulterated seed.
The House began debate on the sea-
mans bill, and the other measures will be
taken up In regular order. to the exclusion
OF other legislation, excepting conference
reports and appropriation bills. With
the adoption of the rule House members
generally took the view that the adjourn
ment OF Congress vas impossible before
the first week In August.

on the law, sociology, economics, labor
unions and several other things gathered
at Sycamore Hin this afternoon to talk

at work on his platform, which he said
to-day was going to be a contract with
the people" 1t will embody his ideas an
the subject OF "a fa!rer distribution Of
the prize moneys"
In his opinion. neither platform Of the
old parties offers definite promise Of a
solution of what he considers Is the great
est problem before the nauon-the adop-
ton OF measures 70 obtain "A fairer dis
tribution Of prosperity.
This platform Colonel Roosevelt intends
to give 20 the convention Of the National
Progressive party at Chicago next month
and the party, he said to-day, will 20 fc-
fore the people pledged TO definite fc-
forms, the nature of which makes them
capable of being carried into effect the
platform of the Democratic party, Co!pnc!

point Of absurdity." Any attempt liter
ally to enforce the Sherman antitrust
law, he insists. will work inCalculable In

His remedy will be federal control and
one OF his recommendations for "faircr
distribution" will be "a universal old age

TO IGNORE Ia TOILETTE
Senator's Attitude Has Dis
turbed Roosevelt Greatly.
CONFERENCE ON PLATFORM
Illinois Men Tell Colonel He
Will Win There and Predict
Deneen Will Come Over.
[By telegraph to The Tribune

Oyster Bay Long Island, July Is
One of the phases OF Theodore Rose
velt's state of mind this summer that Is
beth serious and amusing is his logged
determination TO ignore Senator La Fol
lette, all that the Senator says AMI all
that pertains to him. Nothing will rams
form Colonel Roosevelt's manner Of
speaking from Righteousness to serious
ness, almost bordering on temper, like
reference to something that Senator La
Toilette has said against Colonel Roose-
welt through the public prints.
This week the Senator is hot on the
colonels trail, determined that the third
term candidate shall disclose his cam
paign expenditures before election. To
that end La Toilette is working hard now
canvassing the Senate, with a view to
forcing a report from the Judiciary Com
mittee on the Henry bill requiring pub
lcity OF campaign contributions ana eX-
penditures in Presidential campaigns be
fore election" 1t also includes publicity
of primary expenditures.
The Wisconsin Senator has bounded
Colonel Roosevelt all through the spring
primaries challenging him to make known
his expenditures and the source OF his
contributions.
Colonel Roosevelt smilingly at first, re-
garded the attacks Of the former Progress
sive leader with indifference. Later on
he began 10 show unmistakable signs OF
annoyance at their mention. Now he not
only declares that he knows nothing about
what Senator La Toilette is saying. but
he also insists that he shall not be quoted
for one single word regarding even the
mention OF the Wisconsin Senator's name
The third term candidate behaves In
every way as though he now regards his
onetime White House friend and adviser
as a CASTOR leader who Is trying 10 get
into the limelight by attacking the rea!
simon pure Progressive. Colonel Roose-
welt seems to think that the best way 70
treat the little man with the pompadour
Is TO ignore him completely. This he has
done pretty successfully all the spring
long. but with the coming OF the hot
weather Colonel Roosevelt shows signs OF
actually losing his sense Of humnr In
viewing what he regards as the Senator's
methods of attracting attention. What is
true of La Toilette is true to a lesser
extent perhaps of Senaor Cummins OF
Iowa.
