Attitude on Currency.
Senator Sutherland will vote against
the Glass owens currency bill II on Its
final passage It Is in substantially the
same form as It passed the house. Sena-
tor Sutherland regards the provision
which compels national banks to Invest
20 per cent OF their capital and per cent
under pain Of losing their charters as
confiscatory legislation He also enter
tains serious doubts as TO the constitu-
tionality OF the measure.
The tariff bill. Senator sutherland re-
CARDS as thoroughly bad Three impor-
tant Industries in Utah-lead. wool and
sugar-the senator points out, are Jeop-
ardzed by the passage Of the bill The
be immediate Because OF the Mexican
revolution, little lead is being mined III
Mexico, so the lead industry In this state
Will not suffer seriously by reason OF the
reduction OF the duty until lead mining
in Mexico is resumed. Just now there is
an abnormal shortage OF wool through
out the world and the price Will Keep up
rega rdless OF the Democratic free wool
but as soon as the world returns TO It's
normal production the effect Will prove
disa strous. Free sugar Will not close
Utah sugar factories, but IL may reduce
the price paid the growers for beets and
wipe out the dividends OF the sugar com
pa nies, In the opinion OF the senator. He
is certain that IL will prevent the estap-
lishment of more factories In the state.
Prospects Bright.
Senator Sutherland is sanguine over
the prospects Of a speedy return OF the
Republicans 70 power. de thinks there
Is q strong possibility Of the Republi-
cans securing control of the house In
1914 and a bare possibility of recaptur-
ing the senate. Republicans he believes
have a chance to take from the Demo
Gratis senatorial seats in oregon. Ne
yada, Indiana. Maryland and Colorado.
while the only opportunity for the Dem
ocrats gaining seat In the senate ap-
pears TO be In Kentucky.
President Wilson's dominance over the
gress Senator Sutherland regards with
alarm. He believes the subserVience OF
the Democrats to be largely due TO
their ineXperience as bearers or the re-
sponsibility of government and to the
fact that Wilson takes advantage of this
ineXperience In crowdng onto congress
his important administration measures
before the members have their bearings

says that while he believes the presi-
dent has made some mistakes in MS
Mexican policy, he has no doubt OF MS
patriotism and his sincerity In treating
the question In a non-partlsan manner
The senator urges the united front OF
the nation in defense OF the presidents S

war would cost in money alone TO say
nothing OF the lives that would neces-
sarily be lost.

Senator Sutherland was greatly
pleased with the indications that point
ed to the return OF the Progressv es

Soon after the election Of 1912 the
Republican state OF Michigan re-

TO the party.
Then came the election in St
Louis where a strong Progressive
showing had been made at the presi-
Dental election. The Republicans
were restored to power in st. Louis
and most OF the Progressives voted
the Republican ticket Other cleo
tlons showed the trend of sentiment
toward the ultimate reunion and the
recent election In Maine was most
emphatic proof OF this. Here, last
year. Roosevelt easily led Taft. but
this year the Republican congress
man elect doubled the Taft vote,
while the Progressive vote was re-
duced to the vanishing point
Roosevelts attitude in the Maine
election is significant. Bevelldge.
Garfield and others OF the Progressive
leaders spoke in the district for the
Progressive candidate, but Roosevelt
remained away, He sent them no
word OF encouragement and made
public no statement favoring the Pro-
gressiye candidate. He Is now plan
ming To go to South America. to be
gone until after the election Of 1914
Without the personal leadership of
Roosevelt there will be nothing left of
the Progressive party
Roosevelt IS a shrewd politician. No
