While the democratic national plat

TO coastwise vessels. a number of lead

some of the democrats may be willing
to vote for the repeal OF the provision
now. so that the entire subject may

oceanic canals tomorrow Senator Root
win be heard later 1t is possible that

Gates and opponents of the provision
While the advocates of the Root
amendment do not count upon securing
enough votes in the committee to fa-
vorably report IL, the proposal prob
ably will come before Senate either
through a minority report or upon the
demand of some senator.
The no-toll provision passed the SEN

Der of democrats change their position
