Many prominent Republican Sena-, , tors do not believe it wise to fire their ; tariff guns in the preliminary fight over the question ot hearing"- They I argue that Republican oratory should ; be conserved until the bill is .before the Senate and that then their efforts " should be directed toward showing the country what the party thinks of it. 'Republican Xot Tal. Several Republicans Indicated today that they would vote aaainst the Ten rose amendment to.make the commit- tee hold 'hearings. Persistent reports -'- about the Senate ear. however, that several Democrats will be found voi ' ing with the majority of Republicans for the Penrose amendment and the ' vote in consequence is likely to be close. When Mr. Penrose made his motion " Friday, the Republicans had enough J votes to carry It, but before the Senate 7 meeta tomorrow, Damocrata -who were ' absent then are expected to be present and the first skirmish of the long '- fight probably will find both sides of the eenate fully represented. Report of Part Doubted. Democrats on the finance committee were skeptical of a report that an agreement had been signed by seven" Western Democrats who are opposed to free wool to vote against that pro vision of the bill In the proposed con- ference. Democrats who keep In close touch - with every phase of the situation did not believe that any such agreement ' had been made or is likely to be made. They declared flatly that they expect ed the Democrats of the committee to - present the bill to the Senate with both the wool and sugar schedules as "they were left in the House bill.

BRYAN ROUNDLY CRITICISED London Paper Comments In Cynical Vein on Ser-retarr's Peace Policy. - LONDON. May 13. The Dally Mail commenta in a cynical vein on Secre tary Bryan's peace policy and describes Mr. Bryan aa a "highly Inexperienced diplomatist." Referring to the Panama dispute, the difficulties with European nations aris ing out of the new tariff and the Cali fornia trouble, concerning which it savs that Japan's proposal to refer the matter to The Hague ought to be "ac cepted with effusion by such an en thusiast for International arbitration as Mr. Rrvan" the Mail concludes: "With so many hard nuts to crack In hi own particular department. It seems unnecessary for this eminent Idealist to dissipate his energies In pre' narlncr for the millenlum." The other London papers warmly welcome and applaud the aspiration ,of President Wilson and Secretary Bryan, although In some cases with reserva tion. In regard to the Panama dis pute, the Chronicle saya : "Mr. Bryan always has been a great apostle of peace and now has a mag nificent opportunity to do practical work and his striking declaration of eagerness to sign arbitration treaties should have a world-wide welcome." The Daily News, in an editorial pre dicting that the United States Senate will adopt the tariff bill, says that President Wilson's strength lies in the force of popular opinion behind him.

Roosevelt Seada Letter. In a letter to Dean George W. Kirch way, chairman of the dinner commit tee. Colonel Roosevelt expressed his regret as being unable to attend and called attention to the fight being made by Governor Sulser for a direct primary bill which he said he favored next to the progressive bill introduced at the session of the Legislature Just closed. Colonel Roosevelt's letter fol lows: "I wish I could be with the Progres sives of New York County at their din ner. As that Is Impossible, let me send my hearty greetings and call atten tion to the battle which is at this mo ment being waged in thla state for a thorough-going and effective direct primary bill. While I think the pro gressive bill was the best bill intro duced. I nevertheless most cordially back the bill urged by Governor Sul zer, for that bill means a substantial measure of positive gain; and the en venomed opposition of both the Murphy and Barnes machines to It is of Itself sufficient proof that it is emphatically In the interest of the people as a whole. The alliance between the two machines and the Legislature shows how abso lutely correct 'was our characteriza tion of them last Fall. , ' Two Parties, Sara T. R. "Really at the present there not three party organizations. There are but two, the party of progress, and against it the party of privilege, the naxtu- of reaction. This party of re daction is organized in two divisions. called, ttepuoiicans tnu f nuu-i i, better to make effective the common opposition of both machines to the policy of genuine self -.government. Nofhjng pleases the representatives so much as a mock fight between the two old parties, and that is all that the fighting between them is. Whether Mr. Ernes is on top or Mr. Murphy la on top, makes no difference: in either case privilege is enthroned, and in both cases the people are deprived of real power. The bosses and the machines of the two old parties are engaged in the effort to keep the state govern ment out of the hands of the people and under the bi-partisan control, of the old party bosses. Parry Pledges Recited. "I have been glad to support Gov ernor Sulzer in this figbt, and I earn estly hope that the Progressives will take the lead in the battle for a thorough-going direct primary measure. It should be borne in mind by all voters that the men who are now in the Leg. lslature. both Republicans and Demo crats, were put there on their solemn and direct pledges that they would give a genuine direct primary bill; yet now each of the old parties haa caucused in the Legislature to defeat the solemn pledge in its pre-election platform. There can be no more of the Grant type of political treachery and falsehood. I cannot believe that the people will submit to- such action, and only by supporting the Progresses, can they avoid submitting to such action..- GRANGERS REACH ALBANY e Master of National Body Will Speak at Fortieth Annual Session.- ALBANY, Or..
