Before the Senate four months, the I'm
derwood-Simmons tariff bill was passed
by that body at $40 Tuesday afternoon by
a vote of A to 81.
Senators La Toilette and Poindexter, Re-
publicans, supported the bill on final pass
age. and Senators Ransdell and Thornton,
Of Louisiana, Democrats. voted against it,
Senator Burleigh, of Maine. absent on ac-
count of illness, was not paired. the Demo-
Gratis not finding it convenient to make a
pair. Senator Gronna. Republican Pro-
gressive, of North Dakota, was paired on
all amendments with Senator Lewis, of H.
linois, but released that senator for the
final vote so that Mr.. Gronna stands in the
record as absent and not paired
In the fashion described the Democratic
tariff bill, after passing through many trials
and vicissitudes finally came safely into
port. The bill was introduced in the House
April z, considered in caucus, and rentro-
duced April 81, and reported by Mr. Under
wood the following day. May il passed
the House by vote Of 2S1 to 139 MAY

TIE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY.

The largest vote ever polled in a legal
lied primary in Montgomery county was
cast on Monday last. Forty-two Demo-
Gratis, with their names on the ticket,
sought preferment. The eighteen who were
successful are the following
DIR. Eugene Jones, of Kensineton, candi-
date for the State Senate; Messrs Eugene
II. Waters of Germantown, j. Furr White of
POolesville, Andrew J. Cummings of Chevy
Chase, and Francis Snowden of Sandy
Spring, candidates for the House of Dele
gates; Messrs. Crittenden H. Walker of
Laytonsville, John r. Lewis of Damascus,
and Odorion W. Robey of Burtonsville,
candidates for County Commissioner of the
First, Second and Fifth Collection Districts,
respectively; Mr.. Benjamin P. Whalen of
Potomac candidate for Sheriff, and Mr.. W.
Ernest Offutt of Poolesville candidate for
Surveyor; Messrs. Robert G. Hilton of Rock
vile, Alexander G. Carlisle of Gathers
burg, and Richard E. Darby of Buck Lodge,
were elected as members of the State
Central Committee for MONTGOMERY county,
and Messrs. Frederick A. Allnutt of Seneca,
George F. BOnifant of Layhill, H. Latane
Lewis of Bethesda. Lewis W. Poole of Buck
Lodge, and R. Bentley Thomas of Sandy
Spring, were elected as Delegates to the
State Convention, which meets in Balti-
more on the 10Th instant
Rarely, if ever, has a primary resulted
in the selection of ticket so well repre-
sentine all sections of the county.
In many counties of the State, where
the people were less used to the direct
primary system, the contests were of a
bitter, personal character. In Montgomery
county the contest was not lacking in vieor,
but we are glad to record the fact that, on
the whole it was conducted as becomes
free men having due regard for honest
differences of opinion.
We are not surprised, therefore, at the
conclusion of the contest to hear manly
expressions on the part of unsuccessful
candidates, which presages united Demo-
cracy at the general election this fall in
Montgomery.
In addition to the candidates who par
ticipated in the primaries, Hon. Blair Lee.
Of this county. was nominated without
opposition, as the Democratic candidate
for United States Senator to succeed the
Hon. lsador Raynor for the term expiring
March 8, 1917.
This is the first time that the people of
Maryland have ever had an opportunity
to vote directly in the selection of United
States Senator. as provided by the recently
adopted Seventeenth Amendment to the
Federal Constitution.
1t is striking fact that the first Demo-
cratic candidate for United States Senator
for election by direct vote of the people
should be the author of the Statewide
direct primary law for Maryland. This is
the first time in the history of the county
that it has had a real opportunity to OBJ
tain u seat for one of its citizens in the
United States Senate.
With good. clean county ticket and the
candidate for United States Senator, the
Democracy of Montgomery county will I'M
doubtedly give record-breaking majority
on November fourth

have worked in association with men who
could do them.
There is every reason to believe that
currency reform will be carried through
with equal energy, directness and loyalty
to the general interest When that is done
this session of the sixty-third Congress will
have passed into history with an unrivaled
distinction. want to express my special
admiration for the devoted intelligent and
untiring work of Mr. Underwood and Mr.
Simmons and the committees associated
with them"
The reduction of the high cost of living
has been the keynote of the managers in
constructing this bill. To accomplish this
they have placed many food products on
the free list and greatly reduced the House
rates on others. Among food products
free listed are wheat, -four, cattle. sheep.
and meat Oatmeal and rolled oats were
restored to the dutiable list In connection
with free meat an elaborate inspection is
provided that will be along the lines of the
domestic inspection.
Heavy cuts have been made in the steel
schedule, and throughout the various sched-
ules where business industries are affected
cheaper raw materials are promised on the
one hand and on the other to the con-
sumner cheaper finished products through
lower rates on such articles when bought
abroad.
The average ad valorem in the bill as it
passed the Senate approximates 26 per
cent This is decrease of 20 per cent.
from existing law, and nearly per cent.
lower than the average carried by the
House bill. 1t was claimed after the bill
passed that the Senate's reductions meant
loss in revenue of more than $44,000,-
600. This, Senate managers said, would
be more than offset by additions made in
a number of schedules affecting business
industries. the increase in the income tax,
the revenue tax imposed on wine makers,
the placing of bananas on the dutiable
list, and the taxing of cotton futures.
