DEMOCRATS ARE NOT AGREED
Hope to Secure Strength from Wool
and Sugar States of West and
SOuth--In Senate Late
This Week.

Washington, July 7.-Republican
members of the senate have been
quietly preparing for some weeks
for the attack to be made on the
Underwood-Simm tariff bill
when it gets back into the senate
late this week. While a program
of tariff policy has not been laid
out by the Republicans, leading rep
resentatives of the party in the SEN
ate have prepared amendments, sub
stitute schedules and protection ar
guments, directed at many of the
important sections of the Democratic
bill.
Senator Simmons, chairman OF
the finance committee, who will
bring the bill in from the commit
tee with the seal of Democratic eau
Gus approval upon it, estimates that
five weeks will be enough to wind
up general debate and discussion of
the measure, and to get vote on
its final passage. Prominent Re-
publican senators doubt If the tariff
can be disposed OF in the senate in
that time.
The bill has been in the Demo-
cratic caucus for more than two
weeks. While party members prac-
tically were agreed upon the gem
eral scope Of tariff revision before
the caucus began, 1t has taken much
longer than had been expected to
smooth over debated questions and
to bring about an agreement on
tariff rates. income tax and other
important features carried in the
big bill.
The Democrats are not yet in
complete harmony over the mea-
sures, because of the insistence of
some western and southern sena-
tors that the free sugar and free
wool plans of the administration be
modified, An attempt is to be made
late today to put through the eau
Gus a binding rule pledging every
Democrat to vote down amendments

bill in its entirety. Pronounced op-

Emergency.
THOMPSON AGAINST SUGAR BILL
But He VIII Vote For 1t, NeVerthe-
Iess-Admits privately"
That Wilson VIII Put
Il Through.

washington, July S.-Forty-seven
Democratic senators stood up In the
party caucus one by one late yes
terday and declared their intention
to vote for the Underwood-Simmons
tariff revision bill as finally APP
proved by the caucus a few minutes
previously. Two. senators, Rams
dell and Thornton OF LOUISIANA
stated they would not make sucn
promise because of the proposal 10
place sugar on the free list In 1915.
Senators Hitchcock of Nebraska ana
Culberson of Texas were absent, but
both are known to be in favor OF
the bill.
This gives the Democrats forty
nine votes for the bill, or slender
majority of one, with the vote OF
the vice president to fall back on
in an emergency.
An absolute binding resolution
was not adopted, the poll by in
xlividuals being substituted, and
that poll was put only on the ground
of personal promise and was not
made binding. A resolution was
adopted, however, declaring the I'm
derwood-Simmons bill party mea-
sure and urging its undivided sup
port without amendment unless
such should be submitted by the
committee. Senator Newlands OF
Nevada cast the only vote against
this resolution, but Senators Shaf-
roth of Colorado, Ransdell and
Thornton did not vote.

Garden City, July S.--Sen. Will
liam H. Thompson returned Sunday
night to Washington after a three
days visit with his friends and rel
atives here. Senator Thompson is
much opposed to the provision in
the Underwood bill for free sugar
in three years, but admitted private
ly that President Wilson would be
able to put 1t through. Senator
Thompson says that he will oppose
the free sugar proposition in every
way possible, but will finally vote
Tor the Underwood bill, even though
it includes the provision for free
sugar.
