STARTS
IN BUTH BRANCHES
STAGE is SET FOR MOST lMPoR.
TANT BATTLE OF THIS
,e ADMINISTRATION.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, March 26.-The way
now seems about cleared for the fight
on the repeal of the exemption OF
tolls clause in the Panama Canal act.
This fight is considered the most i'm
portant of this administration
When the Democrats abandoned
their plan for fifteen hours debate
on the measure in the House the Pres
ident's supporters asked for special
rule for twenty hours debate. ten for
supporters OF the Presidents plan, Ave
for Democratic opponents Of the plan,
four for Republican opponents, and
one for Progressives. V
1t is expected argument on the
adoption of the special rule will be
limited to two hours, shorter time
than at first expected. More than
100 speeches have been prepared and
the oratorical fight, 1t is expected will
fbe spectacular.
While these preliminaries are going
on in the House today, Senator owen
of Oklahoma, one of the authors of
the new currency law. spoke in the
Senate in favor of the repeal.
Aligned against the Presidents de-
mand for the repeal are the three
leaders of the parties in the House
Representative Underwood, of the
Democrats; Representative Mann. OF
the Republicans, and Representative
Murdock. of the Progressives.
After the special rule had been pre-
sented. opponents of the toll repeal
resorted to parliamentary tactics te
delay the debate, with the result tina,
discussion OF the special rule may bs
put over until tomorrow.
Wings Of all three parties are be
hind these leaders. On the othel
hand, Chairman Adamson, of thu
House Interstate and Foreign Com
merce COMMITTEES: Representative
Henry, chairman of the Rules com
mittee; Representative Stevens, o
Minnesota. and many other represer
tatives OF all three parties have ac
cepted the presidents position.
