(Continued From First Page.) regards Taft as sure second choice, and would support him in preference to all others were Cummins not In the race and asking for the state's Indorse ment. Aa to conditions in the Democ ratio party. It is plainly evident that roanr members of the majority In the House are smarting under the caucus gag that has been applied by the party leaders to -fwrce them to vote for measures in which they do not believe. Consider able ill-feeling is growing up because of opposition to the legislative pro gramme mapped out by these same leaders. The division of sentiment over the probe Into the so-called "money trust" and the fact that many Demo crats were of the opinion that such a probe should be postponed until after the election. Is Indication that Demo crats are looking to Wall Street for financial suppwrt and fear that a radi cal Congressional programme will shut off such aid. Democratic Rivalry Bitter. The Vumpus stirred up by Henry Watterson has engendered much bit terness among Democrats, and regard less of the effect It may have upon the candidacy of Woodrow 'Wilson. It por tends trouble. The Champ Clark-Joe Folk controversy In Missouri Is an other breeder of trouble: the Bryan Harmon strife is also likely to prove helpful to the Republicans In Ohio, and so on down the list. There Is very keen rivalry among Democratlo candi dates for the Presidential nomination, and this rivalry may last after the nomination Is made. Then, too, the Democratlo policy as thus far outlined In the House of Rep resentatives has given the Taft sup porters heart. It has been shown that the Democratlo House, after advocating the creation pf a tariff board, la going to Ignore the findings of that board; that the ways and means committee Is going to readjust tariff schedules ac cording to the partisan Judgment of the 14 Democratic members, regard tas of facts, and the House is going to sustain those 1 members, regard less' of the Judgment of a majority of the House, or even a majority of the Democratic members of the House. Popgun tariff revision, such as was proposed in the special session, is to be the order of the day. and It is to be framed with the hope it will meet the Presidential veto. CosmrrT Will Apsrere Vetoes. All this Is satisfactory to the Presi dent, for he is confident the country will sustain him in all vetoes of tariff legislation that is not carefully drafted and worked out on the basis of facts and conditions. The asauranoea re ceived at the White House have satis fled the Administration that last Sum mer's vetoes were popular, even with that element of the people who want to see a downward revision of the tariff. The President believes the peo ple want revision based on findings of the tariff board, and will be content with the revision of only such schedules as have been considered by that board, provided revision keeps pace with the board's reports Ail In all. the Taft people are well pleased with the prospect, and express confidence that Taft sentiment will continue to grow from this time for ward.

Bryan will be the first witness to be summoned before the House committee on banking and currency to testify In the "money trust"" Investigation which the Democratlo caucus, repudiating Mr. Bryan's demand for a special com mittee, referred to standing committees of the House. , Mr. Bryan trod on the toes of the Democratic members of the committee when be recently declared the "money trust" thought It could control the committee. The committee Insists that Mr, Bryan explain what he meant, notwithstanding that Mr. Bryan's ad herents In the caucus Wednesday of fered a resolution, which was adopted, expressing confidence in the lntergrlty of their colleagues on that committee. Warnlnc Remembered. This Is what Mr. Bryan is credited with saying-about the committee: 'Democrats, beware! The money trust having- failed In its efforts to prevent an Investigation, is now trying to force en Investigation by 'the bank ing committee. The fact that the money trust wants that committee In trusted with the Investigation is proof positive that It thinks It can control that committee."

Industrial corporations. National banks and the New York Stock Exchange and Clearing-House. -I,ooa Talk" Deprecated. "This resolution has been Introduced bv me upon my own responsibility and reflects only my personal views," said Representative Pujo, after the confer ence of Democrats. "There has been much loose talk by uninformed persons about monopolistic control of financial conditions In this country. Should such conditions exist, no doubt legislation along proper lines not only will be rec ommended by the committee on bank ing and currency, but will be enacted by the public "The monetary system of this coun try is a scientific and not a political question. It should be investigated along these lines." NEW reSUSPEiEQ COMMISSION' FINDS IT C AX NOT FTXISII HEARING. Reclassification Affecting Country Postponed to June Pass Inquiry Ordered. Whole 25.
