Senate Conferces.
Senator La Toilette. republican,
of Wisconsin, third ranking republi-
can on the senate finance commit
tee and an opponent of the tariff
bill, was omitted today from the
list of senate republican conferees
on the measure. The republic; rs
appointed were Chairman McCum-
ber and Senators Smoot of Utah
and MCLEAN of Connecticut, while
Senators Simmons of North Caro-
lima and Jones Of New Mexico were
named the democratic conferees.
This measure the first republi-
can protective tariff to be written
in thirteen years, became an even
greater storm center in the senate
than did the Payne-Aldrich bill OF
1909. From the start, democrats
assaulted it in full force as even
higher than the 1909 law and as
the debate developed opposition to
individual sections began to find
expression on the republican side
Many Changes Made.
Soon after senate consideration
began on April 20, the finance COM
mittee majority, which had labored
with the legislation for elght
months, began to rewrite many OF
the rates. Occasionally the senate
added to their work by direct vote
with a result that as passed the
bill differed widely from that re-
ported TO the senate last April H.
Senators Harrison and Pome-
rene announced that had they been
permitted to vote they would have
voted against the bill and the same
was made in behail
of the seven democratic atsentees.
1t was stated also that had Sem
ator La toilette and Norris been
present they would have Votsu
against the measure, While the
other twelve republican absentees
would have voted for it. /
Senator's Lenroot, and Jones, OF

nounced that they supported the
