 Party lines were broken in the final vote, nine democrats from the West and Southwest supporting the bill and four New England republicans oppOs- ing it. Had the democrats voted sul- idly against the measure 1t would have been beaten, 34 to 3s.
 Az veto by President Wilson is well nigh R certainty, should tha bii! reach him, the chances Of its secotn. Ing law are small, since if all the sen ators, republicans and democrats. who arc known to favor the bill were be eight ten votes short of the necessary two-thirds to pass it over C veto

 Moses Dcnounccs Measure.
 A feature of the days debate were the sharp attacks by Senator Moses of New Hampshire on his republican and by Senator Reed on the democrats who favored the bill. Senator Edge of New Jersey also as- sailed the bin.
 Tn the course of his caustic speech Senator Moses said that in private conversation with some senators, " ho expected to vote for the bill, they had admitted that the bill was inde- fensible. He called 1t unscientifis and designed only to fool the farm er.'' Only two speeches in favor of 1t. he said. had been made in the ffty-six days it had been before the senate.
 Senator Moses offered as a substi- tute4 for the bill the Payne Aldrich Tariff act of 1910. If the country was to havo tariff legislation, he favored passing a real protective measure.
 T am trying he went on. ito make an appeal to my protectionist friends. on this side of the aisle to support this amendment because it cannot be that the measure now be- fore us in the form In which 1t now stands and to which I can never give my vote can be adequately defended by anybody.
 The republican party cannot go before the country with such a meas 1re. It is sure to be rebuffed at the i other end of the capitol. and the | president. who was SO strikingly re- | buked by the voters of the country | on election day. will now have his ! ,hance in dealing with this bill to | excoriate the republican party be- ! cause of this misshapen thing which | they propose to send to him. and i rightly so. because the bill does not | represent tho traditional republican : position upon the tariff.
 Calls Measure "Misshapen Brat"
 Tt is a bill that grew out of an | Inwise yielding to pressure which was applied at the other end of the ,a pitoL It is the offspring of a union 1 between the cotton fields, the sugar ] cane brakes. the rice battle, and the : wheat fields. It is a misshapen brat at | the best. It is lopsided. 1t is blind. 1t | s deaf. 1t is bandylegged. and it suf- ters from congenital economic rick l cts"
 only Moses and another senator supported the proposal to substitute i the Payne-Aldrich tariff.
 Senator Edge declared the bill went | .he wrong direction. Amendments, made In the senate had put the bill |
