President Wilson's desire for action
both on tariff and currency at this
session was made known, to many
senators. during the day, and the
Republican antagonsm to his attitude
was reflected in the debate that char
acterized the early part of he session
of the Senate. Republicans accused
the Democrats Of obeying the party
Whip" and surrendering their in
aVidnal opinions as to tariff rates and
subjects of legislation.
The fight over the Democratic plan
to put wheat on the free list brought
cut many strong speeches from West
ern senators during the days debate.
Senator Gallinger of New Hamp-
shire said he believed the L New Eng
land senators would vote with the
western Republicans for a duty on
wheat and other agricultural products.
although they did not expect the
western senators would show the
same anxiety to protect New England
manufacturers.
The Democratic amendment putting
wheat or the free list and striking
bul the ~ cents per DuSHeI tdfitl Tdlc
fixed by he House Democrats was
adopted by the Senate by a vote of
81 to 80. A subsequent motion by
Genator Gronna to fix a duty of six
cents per bushel on wheat and one
eighth of a cent per pound on wheat
Hour was defeated by 81 to 81.
Senators Ransdell and Thornton of
Louisiana voted with the Republicans.
The vote came at the end of the days
session after a two-days fight on the
part of Republicans to prevent the trans
fer of wheat to the free list. The pres
ent duty is Is cents per bushel on wheat,
with duty of % per cent. on flour. The
House committee had reduced this to 10
cents per bushel and had put flour on
the free list. With the two exceptions the
Democratic senators lined up soidly in
support of the finance committee amend
ment to transfer wheat to the free list.
The Louisiana senators have voted
against their colleagues on number of
schedules because of the free sugar pro-
visions of the tariff bill. Senator Pon-
dexter, Progressive, also voted against
free wheat. The Democrats also defeat
/ Gronna to restore the three cents duty
on eggs, contained in the House bill. The
vote was 50 to IS in favor of the Senate
committees proposal for free eggs. An
