WASHINGTON, d. c., April 25,-
Stalking their political fortunes on
their loyalty to President Wilson and
his tariff measure, the Democrats in
the senate were today prepared 10
pass the Wilson -Underwooi tariff bill

Of this was given when the majority

fla.ly refused hearings on the sehed-
ules, though it gave Senator La Fol-
lette the service Of an expert in order
that he might prepare an analysis Of
items to which he will offer amend
ments on the floor.
As the senate majority leaders view
the situation .he party must stand o.
fall by the bill approved by the presi
dent and the party majority in ths.
house They are confident that they
can bring all but two or three mem
bers of their delegations in the senate
to approve the bill in caucus. The
exceptions are Senators Thornton and
Ransdell Of Louisiana, who will fight
against free sugar to the bitter end,
and possibly western senator who
opposes free wool. When the house
sends the bill to the senate, the Demo-
Gratis will call caucus and pledge
the majority members to passage Of
the bill. Incidentally, it was stated
today that efforts will be made at that
time to curtail the Democratic partici-
patton in the tariff debate. The plan
il to let the Republicans and Progress
sives talk as much as they desire. but
let the bill stand on It's merits, and
