which is William Desmond, who has
the role of the other male corner OF

mally dropped the policy of holding

agreed to- a secret caucus, to harmon
ize differences.
The Republican conferences have
been open ever since the days of the
Progressive fight in the house by
Victor Murdoch of Kansas. At the
outset of the meeting tonight, Repre-
sentative Humphrey of Washington
moved an executive session, and there
was half an hour of discussion, that
led to final decision to clear the
galleries and proceed in secrecy.
Representative Gardner of Massa-
ohusetts and IA others stood for open
sessions. Mr.. Gardner, on whose petit
tion the conference was held, urged
his colleagues to abandon the policy
OF strict and undertaking conserva-
tism which has been so marked of
late years, except during Roosevelt's
second term, and submitted pro-
gram of progressive legislation which
he urged his colleagues to support.
The conference adopted a resolu-
ton committing the party in the
house to vote against the Democratic
revenue bill, and in favor of mo-
ton to recommit that bill to the ways
and means committee, with in,truc-
tons to report bill providing for
protective tariff duties sufficient to
provide all necessary revenue.
