Surprise to Republicans.

The vote on the wool bill came as a sur
prise to the republican leaders of the
House. When they discovered that de-
lection from their ranks was to be ex-
pected it was too late to prevent it. AS
result the following republicans went
over to the democrats camp and with
their votes made victory possible for the
majority:
Representatives Akin. New York: An
derson, Davis, Lindbergh, Miller, Steen-
ersOn and Stevens, Minnesota; Anthony,
Rees and Young, Kansas: Cooper and
Morse, Wisconsin; Haugen and Woods,
Iowa: Helgeson. North Dakota; Kent.
California; Lafferty. Oregon; La Toilette
and Warburton. Washington: Norris and
Sloan, Nebraska.
Not in the memory of the oldest men,

ever been passed over the Presidents
Neither Speaker Clark nor Majority
Leader Underwood could recollect such
an occurrence.
When Speaker Clark announced the
vote and declared the bill again had
been passen, 1.-The Presidents veto to
was wild outburst of applause from
the democratic side. The tumult was
increased by the demands of d half
dozen republicans that the ruling was
unconstitutional. When semblance of
order was restored Representative
Gardner of Massachusetts, insisted that
the Constitution provided that two
thirds vote of the House was necessary
and that the ten members voting pres
emit" should be counted, for they had
recorded their presence in the House.
Representative Olmsted of Pennsyl-
mentarians in Congress, supported the
contention.

BY NARROW MARGIN
House 0verrides Presidents
Veto of Wool Bill.
WILD SCENE ON THE FLOOR
Democratic Vote Augmented by
Twenty One Republican Deserters.
PROBABLE DEFEAT IN SENATE
Sugar Bill and Excise Measure Not
Likely to Pass the Pres
ent Session.
WILD SCENE ON THE FLOOR
DEFEAT IN SENATE

BY the narrow margin of five votes the
wool tariff revision bill over President
Taft's veto. The vote, 174 to So was
made possible only by the detection of
twenty-one republicans, who voted with
the democrats The announcement OF
democratic success created a wild scene
in the House. and amid great confusion
the republican leaders protested that
Speaker Clark must count as voting ten
members who answered present to their
names, a ruling which would have de-
feated the democratic program by over
impossible the recording of the necessary
two-thirds vote of the House. This the
Speaker declined to do.
Less than an hour after the wool bill
had been repassed In the House the con-
ferees on the sugar tariff bill met and
disagreed. They determined to report to
the House and Senate that it had been
found impossible to reach compromise
between the Underwood and Lodge-Bris-
tow bills.
This action is expected to mark the END
of sugar tariff consideration in the pres
ent session. and the excise tax BILL which
was framed to make up revenues that
would have been lost by the reduction OF
the sugar tariff, also probably will remain
in conference when Congress adjournS.
While democratic and progressive lead
ers of the Senate do not believe the wool
bill can be passed in that body over the
Presidents veto, they will continue the
demand for action on the cotton tarin
measure.

Man Makes Appeal.

Shortly before the vote was taken Mi
nority Leader Mann appealed to his fol-
lowers to stand by the republican party
and protective tariff principles. He urged
upon them the necessity to remain with
the minority, lin order to safeguard a
great American industry" which, he
said. would be destroyed under the terms
of the democratic bill.
Mr.. Underwood, who followed Mr..
Mann and closed the debate exhorted
wavering republicans to join with the
democrats in passing the bill over the
vote Of the President, who believed he
could dam back the demands of the
American people with veto messages
