CuMM|NS FORESEES
REPUBLICAN VICTORY
Iowa Senator Flags Democratic
Tariff and Predicts In
dustrial Ruin.

Taunton. Mass. Oct 3O-National
politics was injected into the state
campaign last night by Senator Albert
b. Cummins of Iowa. Speaking here in
behalf of Congressman A. p. Gardner,
republican candidate for governor.
Senator Cummins attacked the demo-
cratic tariff bill. and declared that the
rank and file of the republican party
would come into it's own at the next
national election "on the basis of the
republican strength in the several
states and not upon the absurd, inde-
fensible plan In force.
"As i look at it, said the senator,
"the supremacy OF the democratic
party is a disaster and we must relieve
1t very soon If we would escape the
fatal consequences of policy that
never has failed and which never will
fail to bring ruin upon the Industrial
and commercial structure which
houses the multitudes of hard working,
)energetic. efficient men and women
who have given the United States the
distinction it now enjoys"
Speaking of the tariff act, he said:
"It is either gnorantly or maliciouslN
discriminatory and opens the doors for
that increase of Imports which before
a year passes must leave tens of th6us-
ands OF laboring men and women with
out employment.
If you want our country to maintain
the high place we have occupied here
tofore, you will install fair reason
able protective systcm-not the excess
sivc duties of the Payne -Aldrich law.
hut duties that will measure the diff
fercnceS between our cost and the cost
of other lands. l believe the republi-
can party Is the organization to make
the fight.

SENATE COMMITTEE
STILL DEADLOCKED
Unable to Agree on Basis of
Currency Bill Minor
Changes Made.

Washington, Oct 29.-Passing over
the issue of whether a central bank or
regional bank plan shall be the basis of
the administration currency bill, the
Senate banking committee today agreed
to eliminate the secretary of agricul-
-ture and the comptroller of the cur
'rency from the membership of the fed
eral reserve board The amendment
has been conceded by President Wilson.
The committee also voted to elimin-
ate the preliminary organization COM
mittee created by the House bill and to
provide for Il federal reserve board
to take charge of the work whether
the bill finally provides central bank
or regional system.
The committee found itself still even-
ly divided on the central bank plan
and proceeded to work out details
which would apply equally well to a
regional system.
No final action was taken to deter
mine the number of the members of
the reserve boards, their terms of Of
flee or their salary. Senators Hollis
and Weeks were absent, but were con-
sidered as paired on the questions in
dispute. An agreement was made that
the committee would not take adj
vantage of the absence of members to
vote on important amendments.

Washington. Oct. 30. Secretary
Bryan said today that ~ formal note
mad been sent to all the European gov
iernments asking them to suspend the
formulation of a policy toward Mexico
until the United States had defined its
attitude. While England, France and
Germany. he said. had already been
heard from. 1T is expected that the other
governments will follow the three great
powers in awaiting the decision of the
United States as to the next step in
bringing peace in Mexico
President Wilson had an early con-
ference with Secretary Bryan today
and the secretary said after it, that
they We're at work on the next step
in the policy that will be pursued 1t

make formal demand for the elimin-
alton of Huerta and the conduct OF fair

safeguards to systemic the election

Just what was intended by the United

official circles that some positive ac-
tion looking toward a solution of the
problem would be in line with the ex-

Steps to bring about a new election
would involve negotiations with the
constitutionalists and there is a con-
fidence among administration officials
that If a guarantee for free campaign

battleships from Hampton Roads to re-
