which Andrew Lawrence. editors of the

He said the President had been misin-
formed concerning conditions in Illinois.
He did not believe his support had cost
the President a vote in the state primary,
much less a delegate. Canadian reciproc-
ity had not been popular in Illinois, he
said, and in voting for Roosevelt the
ballots were cast against reciprocity.

was that if Roosevelt had not been

Senator Brandegee has replied to the
state department that the legislation
proposed is regarded as extremely ur-
gent and that the Senate committee
had planned to send a bill to the full
Senate, sometime this week. This re-
by has lbeen communicated by wire to
Mr. Innes and will probably have the
effect OF hasten the delivery of the
British note.
One of the provisions in the pending
bill would make it impossible for Ca
madam Railroad ships to pass through

trade. The question of free tolls to GER
tain classes OF American ships involves
the old question of the Hay Pouncefote

government will hold that ships of all

opinion among many American states

American ships is not violation Of
