Senator Penrose.
Charging that Democratic leaders
nave broken their tariff promises
made To the working people Of New
England before the last national cleo
ton, Senator George F. Mclean of
Connecticut, assailed the Underwood
Simmons bill
Recounting the campaign in Con
necticut, directed particularly against
Representative Ebenezer J. Hill Of the
ways and means committee, Senator
Mclean quoted from speeches made
by Majority Leader Underwood, Sec
rotary of Commerce Redfield, Repre-
sentative Reilly and Governor 5. +.
Baldwin, whom he quoted as assur-
ing the mill workers that the Demo-
cratic tariff would look after the dof-
ferences in cost of production here
and abroad.
The protection Democrats have
tried To compromise with the free
trade Democrats, and this. OF course,
is impossible" Senator Mclean con-
tinued.
You cannot compromise with the
arithmetic Of the compass. You are
either there or you are not there. II
20 per cent. does not protect, 10 per
cent will not protect. My complaint
is that the Democratic party has
broken its sacred promise to the peo-
pie of Connecticut. This | have shown
from the lips of those Democrats who
alone had authority to do the promis-
ing. If adequate protection is found
in any rate contained in this bill it
is there by accident only
This bill has been described as a
glaring example of invisible and in
audible government 1t is not the
way in which the conclusions of the
committee have been reached; il is
the people of Connecticut are afraid
of This bill may be an example of
invisible and, as the senator from
Iowa so aptly added the other day,
inaudible government, but it is a
sample of minority government in
complete betrayal of the promises Of
that minority to the people of Gonnec-
ticut that | object to. In Connecticut
Mr. Underwood in person solicited in
struetionS to reform the tariff upon
the cost of production theory and he
got what he asked for Now the
Democratic party in Congress repu-
dates those instructions upon the
ground that it received mandate
from the people to do what it proposes
to.

Democrats Accuse Republicans
OF Being ''Calamity Howlers'' in
Debates on the Tariff Revision.

Washington, July 30-Democrats and
Republicans of the Senate clashed
again in debate on the Underworld
Simmons tariff bill. today, when Sen
ator Stone charged that the Republic
cans were deliberately attempting 10
bring on panic in their speeches at
tacking the pending measure.
Republican leaders. denying any i'm
tention to bring about disaster, de-
clared they feared that such actually
would be the result. Senator Gallinger
asserted he was no calamity bowler"
but that he actually feared the results
when he hoped would not come. If the
disaster he feared did not come, the
senator said the glory would go to
the Democrats.
After the excitement caused by a hail
and wind storm which forced Il recess,
considerable progress was made in con-
sideration of the bill. The earthern-
ware schedule was accepted and the
metal schedule was taken up.
Shaking clenched fist at Republican
senators, Senator Stone charged, dur
ing The tariff debate, that every Re
publican speech he had beard had been
delivered With the deliberate attempt
to create a panic.
The Missouri senator spoke in reply
TO Senator Mclean. He declared it APP
peared to him that the Republicans
through their speeches We're sending
messages to the country with a de-
sign of creating fear and distrust.
Senator Clark of Wyoming challeng-
ed Mr.. Stones statement and asserted
that if any distrust We're being engen-
dered il was through statements by
President Wilson. Secretary Redfield
and Secretary McAdoo.
Senator Stone replied with a charge
Of conspiracy among Republican SEN
ators TO create public dstrust.
Name the senate demanded SEN
ator Clark.
Every Republican / have heard
speak," responded Senator Stone. He
finally named the Wyoming senator
himself.

torteu Senator Clark.

tons Senator Penrose declared that

better than any other agency. One of
his proposed conditions to recognition
would be the demonstration by the
Huerta government that it was able
TO control at least the major portion
of the republic.
Sharp questioning by members OF
the committee characterized the reel
tai of the ambassadors connections
with the events Immediately following
the downfall of Madero. He declared
he and othe foreign representatives
had repeatedly told Huerta that nc
harm must come to Madero and
Suarez, the deposed President and
Vice President. He was confident
Huerta was innocent of any partici-
patton in plan to kill the two mer
and that the shooting had occurred
without his consent and in fact
against his desires.
The attitude of the Taft admins
tration was frankly criticized in its
attitude toward the enforcement o
American claims. Ambassador VIII
son insisted he had used every effort
at first to enforce the claims of Am
orleans, but that he had received let
ter support from the United states
government.
