Judge Daniel q. Hastings takes g.

Evening yesterday. from the Wash

story was that Senator du Pont con-
templated a western vacation trip and
that Judge Hastings had been asked
To manage his campaign for the sena-

today he did not know of Senator du
Points going away, nor had he been

was entirely wrong, ! saw, Senator
du Pont on Monday and had a hetter
from him yesterday and he did not
say word about going West. He has
never suggested TO me that he wanted

And ! know, as n matter of fact
that he is expecting no more OF me
than he is from any other person and
political friend. Senator du Pont is on,
candidate who needs no political man
ager to secure his nomination, and af-
ter the nomination the matter will be
entirely in the hands of the state
county and city committees"
As matter OF fact. Every Evening
was told yesterday, on good authority
that Senator du Pont hoped To be able
To spend the month of August in Col
orado Springs. When Judge Hastings
was asked about this he said he had
not heard OF ii. Some weeks ago" he
said, the senator told me he hoped e
set vacation Of two or three weeks
and asked me whether it would be
advisable 10 go before or after the con.
vention. Since then have heard moth
Ing about it, but Gen. \. Il. Bensor
told me yesterday he thought the Sen
ator had given up the idea of Goinl

SENATOR SIMMONS
ATTACKS TARIFF BILL
Democratic Leader in Bitter Denuncia-
ton of Measure-Says 1t Would
Enslave Masses.

Washington, April 27.-"The pend
ing Republican tariff bill is fraught.
with more danger to the people of the.
country and the institutions under
which we live than any bill that ever
crossed the threshold of this cham
ber," Senator Simmons of North Caro-
lima charged in the senate here.
with the super-added rate-making
powers conferred upon the President"
he declared, 'the proposed legislation
makes rate fixing almost as much a
matter of political and personal pat
ronage as the distribution of federal
Offices"
Senator Simmons is the ranking.
Democrat on the finance committees
which reported the bill, and was chair
man of the committee when the pres,
ent Underwood-Si law was
enacted. His speech, a carefully pre-
pared document, for completion of
which minority filibusters have forced
the senate to mark time since the
tariff measure was taken up, was one
of the bitterest denunciations of al
piece Of legislation ever heard in the
halls Of congress.
Set forth in it's 10000 words was not
only the definite line of attack to be
followed by the Democrats in the SEN
ate fight, but it formulated one of the
chief issues on which the party will go
before the country in the fall congress
sional elections and the presidential
election in 1924. Before the ink was
hardly dry on the address in the Con-
gressional Record the presses began
to grind out millions Of copies in PAM
phlet form to be sent into every nook
and corner of the United States.
