Cents

revision measure of the present con-
gress was adopted In the senate De-
serting their allies of the last two

an lronolad agreement with the reg-
ulars succeeded la passing a tariff
reduction bill which they believe
President Taft will sign if it reaches

between the Lodge plan indorsed by
the regular republicans and tbe Bris-
tow bill behind which the progress-
ives lined up It would cut the present
sugar duty of $190 to $160 Would
abolish the Dutch standard under
which practlciUy no refined eugar
can he Imported and would abolish
the 7 1-2 percent "refined differential
and additional duty on refined sugar
which It is claimed has accrued di-
rectly to the profit of the eugar re-
finers The compromise which' Is only 7 1-3
cents above the lowest figures named
by the progressives is considered a
victory for Senator Bristow who has
been the most active advocate of
sugar tariff reduction on the repub-
lican aide of the senate

passed by the house did not come to
a vote In the senate The Bristow-
Lodge amendment was first adopted

vote of 37 to 25 Senators Thornton

passed the senate with all but two
democrats voting for It The final
vote was 62 tb 3 the negative votes
being cast by Senators Ileyburn re-
publican and Foster and Thornton
democrats
The attitude of the senate demo-
crats In finally supporting the repub-
lican bill Is expected to have Influ-
ence with the democrats of the house

licans and Simon democrat on the

by the republican leaders that If tbe

bill the president would sign the
measure without delay

ALBERT J BEVERIDGE
Who Announoea hit Withdrawal From
Republican Party

tional progressive convention baa been
made by Senator Dixon director of Col
Roosevelt’s campaign for tbe progres-
sive presidential nomination
At tbe same time a letter from Mr
Beveridge to William H Dye of Indian-
apolis was made pubfio This letter
marks hts withdrawal from tbe repub-
lican party In which he has taken a
prominent part The letter has been
utilized by leaders In the third party
movement aa a bill of progressive prin-
ciples In his letter Mr Beveridge finds
fault with both old parties and urges
all progressives Irrespective-of party
to rally to the Roosevelt movement
In this connection the letter states :
“The present crisis requires that all
progressives of all parties shall act to-
gether through an organization of their
own with plainly stated progressive
program and at open war with the evil
partisan boss force all genuine reac-
tionaries to act the same way through
a separate organization of their own
with plainly stated reactionary pro-
grams Thus all of ua who as a mat-
ter of conviction believe In progressive
principles can act together and the
boas system will be unnecessary to-
either" Taking up tbe question of sectional-
ism In politica the letter Bays:
“Only a true national non-sectional
party which will permit Americans of
all sections who believe In the same
things to act and vote together will
dissolve this wicked and dangerous
sectionalism and thus unite the nAtlon
In every truth This great end alone
la worth the utmost effort of every pa-
triotic man and woman in tbe repub-Ho"
