SENATOR WARREN IS
VISITOR To THE CITY
Wyoming Lawmaker Inter
estingly Discusses Tariff,
Present and Future.

III returned to power next year the
Democratic party will again revise the
tariff with view to reducing II as near

This was the deca ration OF United
States Senator Francis q. Warren OF
Wyoming. who is in Salt Lake, guest
at the Hotel Utah.
Sena tor Warren and Mrs. Warren ar
rived In the city from Cheyenne yester-
day and plan to spend few days here
before returning to Washington, where
discussion Of the currency bill, now be-
fore the United States senate,
Senator Warren believes the Demo-
cratic administration Is losing favor since
not believe the currency bill Will be-
come law during the present extra ses-
sion Of congress. He is OF the opinion
that the Republicans will make gains a
the next congressional election and that
in 1915 a Republican president and a
Republican congress will be chosen, He
said:
The issues on which the next cleo
ton will be fought Will depend some
what on circumstances that may
arise in the meantime. My opinion
is. however, that the issue as between
protection and free trade Will again
come before the public.
We cannot hope to win the senate
next year but we will undoubtedly
make gains In the house. In 1918
we Will complete the victory with the
election OF Republican president and
republican congress in both
branches.
The present tariff bill Is as near
free trade bill as the Democrats dared
TO pass at the present time 1t re-
tains. however, some protective fea-
lures. The Democratic party is a free
trade party and / believe that In the
event the Democrats are returned to
power they will amend the present
tarln to bring II as nearly as possible
to free trade.
