Committee Not to

Washington, Sept. 14-(AP)-Sup-
port of the Republican national COM
mittee will be with-h held from Rob-
ert NJ. Lafollette, Jr, in the special
senate election in Wisconsin if he is
nominated in the Republican prima-
ry tomorrow.
This declaration was made today
by Chairman Butler of the National
committee. Whether some other
Republican candidate will be SUP
ported by the national organiza ton
he said, is a matter for the senatori-
al campaign committee to decide.
Chairman Butler announced that
while he might visit Chicago during
the winter, he had abandoned his
plans for trip through the west
this fall as unnecessary.
Turning to the forthcoming sess-
ion in congress, he said he expected
tax revision to be taken up promptly
and looked for passage of a salts
factory bill. He knew of no move
by manufacturing interests to seek
any tariff changes and his personal
opinion was that there would be no
concerted move for tariff revision.
Despite the recurring rumors
about his appointment to the cabi-
net, Senator Butler asserted that he
expects to be a. candidate to succeed
himself in the senate next year.
Il will make an announcement on
that subject in due time he said.
