Walsh Pleads For Wool Duty.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-For three.
quarters of an hour Senator Walsh
addressed the democratic caucus,
with them to place a revenue
duty OF Is per cent on raw wool. He
had not concluded his statement when
caucus adjourned the evening. At no
time during his talk did Senator Walsh
indicate how he intends to vote upon
the tariff bill If wool is retained on
the free list, but 1t is now generally
believed he will remain with his party
even though the caucu decides against
him on wool and other schedules to
which he objects.
Senator Walsh's argument was
along the lines OF his interview pub
lished come weeks ago, he pointing
out the reasons why he favors q duty
on wool. Incidentally, he advocated
placing q ven duty on sugar, and
gave his reasons for objecting to free
listing that product.

OPPOSE FREE SUGAR.
Western Senator's Favor Retention
Of Small Duty.

W Stuu0S oUSys
WASHINGTON, June 24.-Auti.free
eug ar democrats got together in the
ate caucus today and agreed to
support an amendment BY Senator
Shaforth to eliminate the provision
for free sugar in 1915 and substitute
q duty of spproxim ately one.half cent
a pound after that time on refined
sugar.
The Shafroth amendment accepts
the duties proposed in the Underwood
bill on sugars for the next three years
including q rate on refined sugar until
1916 OF approxims tely one cent q
pound. Louisiana senators and those
from beet sugar states are making no
fight to change those rates but are
urging their colleagues to abandon
free sugar for . further 50 per cent
reduction In 1915.
Senator Walsh Of Montana resumed
his anti.free sugar speech today when
the democratic caucus was re-opensd.
Ready to support IN amendment to
strike out the provision for free sugar
In 1915 we're Senators Newlands,

While the u battle will deter.
mine the strength the democrats are
to have in support of the tariff bill
on the senate floor, the question of
binding senators to the bill % ap.
proved by the caucus will not come up
until all schedules and sections have

MONTANA SENATORS DISAGREE

The Washington dispatches that re
port the proceedings OF q caucus of
democratic senators upon the tariff
bill are interesting reading for Mon
tana citizens. Their senatorial dele
CATION took a prominent part In the
discussion OF proposed tariff provi-
sions affecting sugar aud wool, and
submitted such conflicting views that
the caucus was unable to ascertain
the prev ailing sentiment among Mon.
tana voters.
Senator Walsh, according to the
dispatches, made o two.hour speech
In which he advocated a small duty
on sugar aud wool, two important
Montana products, supporting his
position by reference to his party
platform. Senator Myers, his demo-
cratic colleague, protested against
this suggestion, claiming that sugar
and wool should go on the free list as
proposed In the Underwood bill.
During the controversyit was main
tanned by Senator Walsh that demo.
cratic success in Montana was due to
the popular belief that In revising the
tariff, Montana products would re.
ceive a. fair treatment as the products
OF other states. Senator Myers de.
clared Montana citizens favored free
trade in wool and sugar, and that he
had received several hundred letters
and kilograms to that effect.
The clash between the two demo.
cratic senators from Montana was the
feature OF the session. Differences OF
opinion may have developed among
senator's OF opposing political parties
but such q divergence Of views be-
tween two democratic senator's from
the same state was an incident so un'
usual that it attracted attention
throughout the country.
The Montana constituents Of tht
two senators are unquestionsbly di
videa upon the questions that provok
Cd the controversy. Senator Walsh
has reason to believe that q large
number OF Montana citizens resen
the proposition to place Montana pro
ducts on the free list. while the PEG
pie OF this state must purchase tn,
products of other localities In Q pro
tected market. Senator Myers ca,
probably produce proof that his posi-
tion 10 endorsed by many Montan'
residents, and that it 10 defended b,
some of bic party newspapers in thi
state.
The prevailing public sentiment Il
Montana has not been given defnit
expression since the democratic tart
revision program was announced
and is consequently subject to misrel
resentation. If the question of fire
sugar and wool could be submitte
to q referendum vote of Montan
citizens, the result would s~traighte|
out the tangle between their senator's
