NOT AGAINST CURRENCY BILL.
No Determined Opposition to Be
Made BY Republicans. Saws Mann.

No determined opposition to the ad-
ministration currency bill will be made
by republicans in the House, according
to Leader Mann. He declared today
that amendments proposed by demo-
Gratis of the currency committee would
be supported and that amendments in
the caucus and the House would per-
feet the measure so that many repub-
licans would vote for it.
Representative Mann expressed the
opinion that while the House would
pass the bill at the extra session, ii
would be held up in the Senate and
that an agreement probably would
postpone a final vote until the Deem
Der session.
