I Another written from Irving Park
Chicago, October Z, 1907, to Oxnard
at Upperville, Va, said
"Wakeman was with Uncle Joe for
four hours and feels that he accom-.
plished something, though he did not
feel at liberty to tell me much in de-
tail. From here he went to Cincin-
natl at Foraker's suggestion to meet
him then to Cleveland and back to
New York.
He is leaving no stone unturned in his
effort to get real protectionists put
on the committee of ways and means
| to fill the five vacancies. He is GER
tain that Fordney for one will be ap-
pointed, but did not mention any
other names. His advice is that we
have as many business and manufac-
turing concerns as possible write to
the speaker at Danville and without
mentioning or suggesting any names,
strongly request that real projections
lists be placed on the ways and means
committee to fill vacancies.
at strikes me that if this is done
and each one be urged to urge his
friends to do likewise, the next two
months ought to pile up a lot of letters
as to least make an impression on the
speaker.
you have such raft of friends
among prominent business men that
if you were to devote a little time to
seeing and writing them, the results
would be surely worth while. OF
course. don't calculate that we will
be able to control that committee in
case they bring in a PHILIPPINE tariff
reduction tariff bill, but the more
strength we show in the house and |
the more strength we develop there,
the stronger we will, of course, be in
the senate"
To Palmer, October 5, 1907, Oxnard
wrote from Upperville, Va:
q have been trying to find out what
chances we have on the ways and
means committee and am glad to get
the information you give on that line.
Will bring all pressure / can on Can
lon. His political manager, Congress-
man Littauer of New York, is a
strong personal friend of mine, and
his summer at Saratoga outlined to
ne his plan of campaign for Uncle
Joe. I shall expect to bring strong
pressure through Littauer"
Copy of a letter to Oxnard, dated
October IA, 1907, and apparently from
said in part:
''In Denver | saw both Senators Tel S
er and Palmer. Patterson told me -,
lodge intimated to him that Philip {
line matter was not one of philan- t
hropy and stated we had the islands a
or the purpose of exploiting them l
With American capital and that we
we're going to do it. Teller told Aid c
ich that he and his crowd would a
tand by us and they would try and t
eep the bill in the committee, but n
hat if it got to the floor of the SEN {
te they would have to stand with a
heir party and vote for the passage A
the bill Cove has talked so much G.
18th Teller about the committee mat O
er that he finally became willing to a

link now is fully anxious to do So s.
lie will be the strongest man we could g,
ct. n
The Palmer letter added that the
hilippine matter probably would d
ome up soon. My idea has always K
cen, it continued, to stave the thing h
until general tariff reduction comes b,
hen we could trade with the other q
llows and l have concluded they ap- IL
'eciate this point as fully as we and al
ey will make desperate effort to cf
It what they want at the coming ses- dj
on. -
Later from Oxnard to Palmer, in

I spent day with Mr. Thomas on
s yacht and he seems to think we
I'd better stand in with Taft if pos
