Senator La Toilette will withdraw from
the Presidential race, his manager. W.
L. Houser, yesterday issued the follow
ing positive announcement:
'Once for all, I want to settle the ru-
mors that are in circulation that Sena-
tor La Toilette contemplates withdraw
ing as a Presidential candidate. Senator
La Toilette never has been and is not
row a quitter. When he entered the
contest for the nomination, he assured
those who induced him to become a can
didate that he would go through to the
end, and that is his determination. He
will be there until the gavel falls in the
convention announcing the nominee.
Senator La Toilette is making this
campaign to promote the principles, IN
a national way, for which he has stood
and fought in his own State and in the
United States Senate. He will make a
campaign in every State and in every
district to elect delegates pledged to
these principles, and his candidacy as

Walter Rodgers, manager of the Chicago
headquarters of the La Toilette cam

ent.
Notwithstanding Senator La FoIlette's
own stand in this matter, there is a
strong impression that many Of his back
ers have been urging him to throw his
strength to Roosevelt. Senator La Fol-
lette is wrathful over Roosevelts entry
into the race. and is determined now to
stick 1t out to the end.

SENATE RESUMES
LORIMER HEARING
Illinois Solon Takes Stand in Own
Defense During Two Ses-
sions Yesterday.

Senator Lorimer, OF Illinois, was again
witness before the Senate committee
investigating the charges of corruption
in connection with his election to the
Senate at the two sessions of the COM
mittee held yesterday. The committee
has not been in session for ten days until
1t met yesterday morning. due to the
illness of Judge E. G. Hanecy, chief
counsel for Senator Lorimer. Nothing
sensat tional developed in the testimony.
II is expected that the thrills will be re-
served until Detective Burns assistants
take the stand and spring the testimony
they have promised to give, tending to
discredit some of the testimony given
by Lorimer witnesses. Mr.. Burns wit
nesses will be on hand probably to-day.
Senator LoTimer was cross-examined
yesterday by John H. Marble, attorney
for the committee. The Senator was
questioned particularly In relation to an
alleged conference that is said to have
taken place in Springfield about three
weeks prior to May 26. 1909. at which
Senator Lorimer. Speaker Shurtleff. of
the Illinois legislature, and Representa-
tive Copley. of Illinois, were present.
Senator LOrimer admitted that such
conference had taken place. and said
that he expressed the opinion on that
occasion that Gov. Deneen could be elect
ed at any time.
Had Gov. Deneen not intimated to
You before that time that he was deceiv-
ing Senator Hopkins by pretending to
the Senator that he was aiding HIM. while
he was actually maintaining fight

Quired Attorney Marble.

ing Senator Hopkins replied Mr.. Lori

that the sole power and necessity for in

TO FIX PANAMA TOLL.
Senator Bristow's Bill Provides

Rates for Vessels.
Senator Bristow yesterday introduced In
the Senate a bill to fix tolls for the
Panama Canal. It provides that the tolls
shall be 81 per net ton for all ships using
the canal, but that all American ships
whose owners agree that such vessels
may be used by the United States I'm
time of war as auxiliary cruisers shall
have a rate of so cents per ton, and all
ships engaged In coastwise trade, under
the same conditions, shall have a rate of
25 cents a ton.
Senator Bristow holds that the treaty
with Great Britain does not forbid such
reductions for American vessels. Ves-
sells In ballast, without cargo, are TO have
a reduction Of 20 per cent from the rates

''For one, I am very confident that on

They are mistaken. 1t is not a dec
lsration in favor OF a tariff for revenue
or free trade. This is shown by the
fact that the Democratic vote was less
rather than greater than II had been in
the Presidential election. The defeat of
the Republican party came not from an
increase in Democratic votes, but from
detection Of Republican votes, l. O..
OF its own members who stayed at home
and refused TO stand by the party in
what they regarded as a failure TO re-
deem its pledges.
Our Democratic brethren have de-
parted from the facts in a tariff board
whi"h a majority OF them embraced, and
in the extraordinary session OF last year
they passed three tariff bills without the
aid OF information from a tariff board,
drawn in such an unscientifc, unsys-
tematic. and reckless way that did
not hesitate TO veto them. in order that
they might await the coming in of the
report by the tariff board upon Schedule
X. wool and wOolens, which one tariff
bill affected. and upon cotton and cotton
manufactures, which another tariff bill
affected.

Tended the Payne-AldrIch tariff, while
admitting its shortcomings; he justified
his vetoes OF the Democratic revision bill
of the extra session. and he made a
plea for the continuance OF the tariff
board. He also renewed his adherence to
the protective policy. About this he said /:
The Payne-Aldrich bill was subjected
to bitter attack. not only by our Demo-
cratic opponents, but by certain Repre-
sentatives and Senators from our own
ranks who contended that the rates fixed
were not in accord with the standard of
revision promised in the platform. I
need hardly say that this result was
greatly aided by Misunderstanding and
misrepresentation Of the facts in respect
to the Payne bill, for, while the Payne
bill was not a full compliance with the
Promise, there were substantial revisions
In the bill. and the resulting act did not
deserve the anathema and abuse to
which 1t was subjected. The bill as a
whole contained many most useful priv
neges, and 1t Is quite remarkable how
many notable and useful legislative
changes in the policy OF the government
are to be traced to IL.
Our Democratic friends are in the
habit Of claiming that the elections of
1910 were a Reputation Of the doctrine OF
protection and a return on the part of
the people to the principle Of a tarif
for revenue only.
