Mr.. Mott said he did not believe party
Ties were as strong as formerly, but
declared it could not be otherwise than
that the voters should feel a pride in
national administration which had
taken the tariff out of politics; taken
the word panic out Of the language of

Bank, stimulated the agricultural inter

In concluding he referred to "the as
tonishing assurance Of the Republican
candidate for President that he will
share the duties and obligations of his
office with the Senate and other leaders
of his party, who will be under no
presidential oath to support and de-
fend the constitution.

would seem almost unthinkable If
party politics and self interest had not
completely demoralised the thinking of
so many well meaning American citi-
zens.

1t is understood that the leaders

event that Lieutenant Governor Walker
is the preference for the senatorial nom =
nation, Mrs. James d. Smith, of Buff

Miss Harriet May Mills, of Syracuse,

The statements attributed to Demo-

ington to the effect that the League Of

BILL ADOPTION
Senate and House Leaders Ex-
pect 1t Viii Be Law
by March.

WASHINGTON, Feb. u. (By the As
ISOLATED Press. while some .opposi-
ton 10 the railroad bill as finally agreed
upon in Conference has developed SEN
ate and house leaders predicted today
that the conference report on the meas
the legislation would be on the statute
looks before the roads are returned TO
private control March l.
The final draft of the conference re-
port is now being made and II will
be presented to the senate Saturday or
Monday. The house expects TO take the
report up Monday or Tuesday az the
latest and leaders said today it would
be disposed Of in two days.
Chairman Esch of the house inter-
state commerce committee, one OF the
authors of the railroad bill, and other
leaders expressed confidence that OPP
position by house Democrats would not
delay passage Of the measure.
They based their prediction upon the
fact that the bill as rewritten in con-
ference is substantially the same as
the Esch bill recently passed by the
house. Senate provisions to which
there was objection, including the anti
Nstrike section, creation of transporta-
ton board and compulsory consolida-
tions were stricken out in conference,
The essential addition to the house bill
was the fixing of a guaranteed return
of~5h per cent.
with the time already fixed by
President Wilson for return of the
5. roads and the widespread demand from
the people that they be handed back,
Chairman Esch said today, failure tc
enact necessary legislation before March
1 would be disastrous. ! am satisfied
however, that the house will adopt the
conference report without delay
