MAY MAKE TARIFF THE ISSUE.
Roosevelt Crowd Plans Theft of DEM
ocratic Thunder.

oyster Bay, y. T., July 10.-Imme-
diate downward revision of the tariff
Is likely to be one of the demands
made by the new party headed by Col.
Roosevelt. While the former Presi-
dent was non-committal today regard
ing the course he would urge the Chi
cago Convention of the new party 10
adopt, it developed from the talk Of
number of leaders, today, who have
conferred with Col. Roosevelt in the
last few days that the party doubt
less will declare for immediate revs-
ion. According to the present pro-
gramme, the demand for legislation
would be restricted to the schedules
which. in the opinion Of the party
heads. are obviously higher. The
woolen and cotton schedules were
pointed out as perhaps the best en-
amples.
Whether the platform will emu
merate specific schedules and pledge
itself to scale them downward or will
content itself with a general declara-
tion of the principle upon, which it
will act, has not been decided.
Col Roosevelt has been told that
the sentiment of the country, especial
~ in the West, where his largest
measure of support is looked for, is
emphatically in favor Of quick ac-
tion on the tariff. The election Of a
Democratic majority in the House of
Representatives in 1910 was cited in
support of the argument that the pro-
gressive party must pledge itself to
downward revision.
The Ex-President feels, however.
that his views on the theory Of a pro-
tective tariff are well known and that
II Is for the Convention to decide
what course Is to be determined
When questioned today in regard
to his view of what the new party
should do. Col. Roosevelt said that in
the near future he would make a
statement of his position upon the va
rious issues to be raised in the cam
paign.

THE SKEEREO 0'NO1H|NG. :"
IILLMAN WOULD BUILD TIE,
ULTIMATE BATTLESHIP.


Washington. July 10-Senator Till
man of South Carolina today sought
to launch in the senate a movement
to have the United States build the
best battleship the world can ever
construct and then withdraw from
the international race for big bat
tleships, but the movement stuck in
the ways. He expects to present his
resolution tomorrow.
| The South Carolinian had his bat
tleship resolution all prepared and
showed it to numerous senators. but
decided to defer its presentation on
account of the Lorimer case havinc
right Of way
Senator Tillman would name the
proposed dreadnaught the Terror. He
would provide the maximum thick
ness of armor, the maximum size of
gun, the maximum speed, and the
| maximum size that would enter dry
docks and pass through the Panama
canal. Senator Tillman preferred the
name Terror to "Skeered- -O'Nothing,"
suggested by Senator John Sharp
Williams in the house as the name
for an American ship Outranking in
size the English dreadnaughts.
Senator Tillmans resolution would
call upon the naval affairs commit
tee to investigate the details of the
very best battleship possible and to
report whether one such overpowering
vessel would not be better for the
United states than to continue "by
increasing taxation, to spend the
millions and millions of dollars now
in prospect in the race for naval
supremacy"
Let us find out just how far we
can go with any degree of safety and
go there at once" said Senator Till
man. Let the Terror become the
peacemaker of the world; let us leave
some money in the treasury for other
and more necessary and useful eX-
penditures such as good roads, con-
trolling the floods in the Mississippi,
draining the swamp lands in the
South and irrigating the arid lands in
the west"
Senator Tillman's resolution which
Ia w
That the committee on naval af-
fairs be and it is hereby instructed
to investigate and report to the sem
ate: What is the maximum size of
a ship whether battleship or cruiser:
the maximum thickness of armor that
such ship can carry safely; the max
imum size of gun; the maximum
speed and the maximum desirable ra-
dius of action Of such vessel that can
De safely built SO as to navigate the
ocean and enter the first class har-
bors of the world; how much draft
enter the existing dry docks in this
country for repairs, and to safely pass
through the Panama canal; the OBJ
lect being to find out from authentic
and reliable official sources the max
imum size and maximum draft, the
maximum armament and the maxi
mum thickness of armor in order to
make the very best battleship or
cruiser that the world has ever seen
or Will ever see: the purpose being
to have this country own the great
est marine engine of war ever con-
structed OF ever to be constructed
under known conditions; and To re-
port whether one such oVerpowering
Vessel would not in its Judgment be
better Tor this e Intry to build than
To continue, 10y increasing taxation.

lars now in prospect in the race for
