which the Genoa conference abandon

Two more dissimiar meetings it
would be difficult to find .under the

Especial to Kennebec JournaI)
Washington, D. c., June 14.-FoI-
lowing bitter attack upon Senator
Hale in today's New York World in
which the World charged that a
bounty on potash urged with the
tariff was a boost for Hale, Senator
McCumber, chairman of the Senate
finance committee, on the floor OF
the Senate called attention to the
article in the World and said: II feel
that this article is so unjust to the
senator from Maine, Mr.. Hale, that
1t becomes my duty to correct the
misstatcmcnt." The senator from
Maine did appear before the com
mlttee and earnestly opposed any
tariff on potash.
He never discussed. however
with the committee the question of
q bounty i'll the place of a tariff nor
did he refer to it in any way OF
shape. After he had left the com
mlttec the members who were pres
cnt took up the subject and tenta-
lively proposed in lieu of the tariff
TO place potash upon the free list
and tor the purpose of protecting OF
at least encouraging the American
industry to grant a bounty eouavi-
lent to the tariff rates for a period
of five years, and at the same tariff
rate"
Senator McCumber further ey-
planned that on the basis of fifty
thousand tons of production a wear
during the next few years the
amount would not exceed two mil
hon five hundred thousand dollars
for the first year, gradually dimin-
lshing until it reached one million
dollars for the fifth year. Senator
McCumber said that he did not care
to discuss the merits of the promo
Sitlon at this time but simply wishe d
TO explain the part which Senator
Hale took before the committee in
asking that potash be put on the
Tree list and to state what was the
limit of his request. His expIana
tlon entirely discredited the news
paper story that appeared in the
New York paper this morning.

REPUBLICANS FEAR
INDEPENDENTS IN
COMING IRISH Vote

Dublin, June 14.-(By A. P.)-
Exceptional activity is being shown
by the republicans as the polling
day approaches in the belief that
their candidates on the joint panel
have most to fear from independent
candidates. Eamon DeValera to-
night will address two meetings.
Tomorrow he will start a whirlwind d
three Of the five seats are held by
republicans and there are two inde-
pendent candidates. DeValera per-
sonally is very popular in Mayo.
There is apprehension over the
possible defeat in Kildare and Wick
low Of Erskine Childers and his
cousin, Robert Barton, who, though
one of the signatures of the treaty,
has steadily voted with DeValera in
the Dali Eireann. On the other
hand, it is is pointed out, the seats
of three ministers of the provisional
government are in danger.
The republicans expect to hold AZ
seats in the new Dali Eireann, which
on the treaty issue, will mean a
treaty ma jority of 81 instead Of the
seven on which the treaty hitherto o
depended. But the republicans do
not contemplate the new Dali divid-
ing on the treaty and believe the
coalition government will unitedly
pursue a policy on which all the
Sim I'einers can agree, in which
case it is calculated the coalition
will have a majority of more than
50 against all possible opponents.
Regarding the labor vote, the
newspaper Republic of Ireland says
the new Dali will be an emergency
body with the life of a few months,
formed under pressing needs for
vital national unity. 1t recalls that
the principle of the labor leader,
Easter rebellion. was the nation
first; labor second"
There is much speculation on the
army position. Not only the ques-
ton of principle regarding the army
control remains unsettled, but there
is a difference as to the numbers of
each section to secure places on the
general staff. 1t has been suggested
that DeNalera> become minister of
defense, post which he is said to
desire. The Eelief is held that both
sections of the army would obey him
and that his undisputed control
would assist in putting down both
unauthorized army actions and dis
order generally, but the whole mat
ter is still speculative. If DeValera
enters the coalition ministry. it is
pointed out. it will be for Arthur
Griffith to determine what place he
shall hold.
