Hoyte, former Democrat, who has
| been suggested by Milwaukee Pro-
| gressives to make the run. If both
men compete, the tariff will be the is
sue on which bull moose votes will
| split. Mr. Strange has extreme nro-
| tectionist views. Leaders of the rar-

ent tariff bill would be the strongest
puller of votes. Hoyt is regarded as
favoring moderate tariff. Strange
| already has opposed the present tar
| iff.
