to date nothing in the way of a, direct
statement has come from the astute
gentleman In the White House. TeIe-
grams by the dozen are being given
out and the Democratic State wind
mill is in a whirl over preparations
for red hot campaign in which Pal
mer will turn loose his oratoricaI bat :
teries and Mccormick will shake
hands. Secretaries Bryan and Wilson
will be summoned from Macedonia to
help.
Michael J. Ryan is furiously declin-
Ing to listen to any suggestions of
withdrawal and promising to drench
his opponents with aciduIated
speeches. All over the State the on

in Pennsylvania. And the primaries

TOLL EXEMPTIONS
PROV|S|0NO Of CANAL
LAW IN CONGRESS
Repeal of Section Is Administration
Measure Backed by
Wilson
WILL END ENGLAND'S PROTEST
President Will Probably Deliver
Message Before House and
Senate
WILL END ENCLAND'S PROTEST
Bv Associated Press

Washington, d. c.. Feb. 6.-Repeal
of the toll exemptions provision of the
Panama Canal law was before Con-
gress to-day az an administration
measure backed by President Wilson.
Although repeal of the section
which would give free passage to
American coastwise ships through the
great waterway involves a practical
reputation of one of the planks of
the Democratic platform adopted by
the Baltimore convention which mons
mated President Wilson, administra
ton leaders were sure of prompt ac-
tion In the House and began lining up
their forces in the Senate, where the
hardest fight will come. Some Demo-
Gratis there are avowedly in opposition
to the Presidents wish and have an
nounced their intention for fighting
his proposal.
A message to Congress, probably de-
livered in person by the President, is
expected as soon as conferences de-
Nelop the administration course of
action. n peal of the free passage
section WIZ dispose of Great Britains
protest that it is in violation of the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
Democratic Senate leaders are in
cl1ned to the view that initiative action
would be awaited from the House.
The extent of the Presidents oppo-
sltion is expected to be disclosed in
the debate on the renewal of the gen.
eral arbitration treaty with Great Bri-
tain. Senators who oppose the repeal
OF the toll clause argued to-day that
the Presidents course might be con-
wise from an international
standpoint, even though the Senate
should check it's purpose.
representative Adamson has his bill
prepared to reueal the toll exemption
clause, and is. ready to Introduce it
when he hears directly from the Presl-
dent. w

DEMOCRATS WIDE BREACH

While Democrats and Washington
ians are engaged in factional warfare
over who shall have the State nomi-
nation plums, the return to the Re-
publican party of the men who left II
in 1912 for Roosevelt or for Wilson
is growing greater day by day. The
Republicans are lining UP for the re-
trieving of the ground lost a little
more than q year ago and the divisions
of their enemies are aiding the move
ment because every fresh outbreak
over the spoils shows the motives be-
hind the activities OF men promin ent
In the affairs of the Democracy and
the Bull Moosers.

politics are significant. The announce
ment of A. Mitchell Palmer that he
would be the Democratic candidate
for senator and that Vance c. McCor-
mick would be a candidate for COVER
nor brought yell of defiance from
the camp of the Old Guard and was
promptly met by inspired dispatches
from Washington that the Preside ent
OF the United States would send cabi-
net officers into PENNSYLVANIA to help
O. faction wipe on. Democrats who
did not bow the knee. And while this
was going on 100 Washington party
leaders wrangled in a room in a hotel
in this city over an effort to slate Will
liam Draper Lewis, of Philadelphia,
for the nomination for governor and
tried to squelch Congressman M. Clyde
Kelly. The situation in the Demo
cratic ranks reminded observers of
the shattering of the atmosphere with
words before a prize fight and among
the Bull Moosers as an insurrection
against being called upon to put up
the money for a campaign instead of
having all expenses paid as in 1912.
