SOME DEMOCRATS LIKELY TO VOTE FOR THEM
Persistent Report That Seven Western Democrats Will Vote Against Free Wool Provson-Tarif Battle to Begin in Senate Today-Senator Mclean Points Out the Incon- sistency of the Five Connecticut Congressm

rand revived very rapidly right here in Washington. All kinds of republicans rallied around the republican, banner in the house last Thursday and voted solidly against the new tariff bill It is becoming more and more apparent to the northern democrats that it will ruin them. and the country, too, if it ever becomes a law. Senator Sim- mons, who will have charge of the bill, has promised me very courteouSly that he will listen to any cases that I may desire to present. I sincerely hope such expressions as are clearly war ranted by the democratic platform it. self Raw materials that cannot be produced in this country are in many instances heavily taxed and the tariff on the manufactured product is rad ically cut.

 Gold Bricks for Farmers and Labor.
 Every democrat knew, when he vot- ed for this rider that the attorney general could use every dollar in the treasury of the United States for the express purpose of prosecuting the la Dor unions guilty of violation of the anti trust law, the rider to the con- trary notwithstanding. The only pos sible purpose of the law was to be- guile the farmer and labor vote in ex- change for gilded bricks; and incident ally the democratic party repudiated, as usual, it's long and loudly boasted creed which promises equal rights for all and special privileges for none, r
 T am not going to Chicago. l am going to stay right here in Washing ton and help the already reunited re- publican party in the Sixty third con- gress defeat the proposed tariff, which if enacted into law will throw thou sands of worImen in Connecticut out of employment"
