HIS PARTY LEADERS
SAV WILSON IS WISE
_________
Decision to Call an Extra Ses?
sion for Tariff Action In?
dorsed by All of Them.
THINK IT GOOD STRATEGY
Some Republicans Criticise, but
Others Favor "Getting It
Over With"?Attitude
of Progressives.
I From Tb?*. Tribune Bureau 1
Washington, Nov. ID.?The decision of
President-elect Wilson to call a sped?.'
asesten of Congress noon after his Inaugu?
ration met with the approval of such
l>emocratic leaders as are now in the cap?
ital, the matter evidently having been dis
CttSBSi from the point of view of political
Strategy, and the course decided on as
at least an ailroit move to avoid the mis?
hap.?? that befell President Cleveland.
?speaker Clark, who arrived In Wash?
ington to-day, expressed himself as much
l leased with the announcement that a
special session was to be called. If the
tariff was to be revised, he ?aid. It should
be done at once. He pointed out that the
I '? aBOCratk defeats during the Cleveland
.vlmlnistration followed closely on the
beeil of tariff revision. He argued that If
Ihe tariff had been revised a year l>efor.>
? lection the Democratic party would have
been successful.
It was the part of wisdom for the
Daaaocratta party, according to the Speak?
er, to undertake taiiff revUlon early in
lite Wilson administration, in order that
the conditions resulting from the legisla?
tion might reach a normal level before the
unie for another election arrived. He als...
fTprassad the belief that a tariff levislon '
could be accomplished within sixty days. I
and that if no oilier Important subjects I
were to be considered the session would ?
aot last longer,
Fears No Business Disturbance.
*'ln travelling through half of the states
of the t'nlon." said Mr. (lark, "I have
inquired as to the conditions of business.
and have found it brisk in every line
everywhere. Factories are behind with
Ofdera and are running OvertlOi*. Fot in?
stance, Saturday before th" election, I
wa- talking to one of m> constituents,
who manages a great manufacturing
plant, and asked hlin how many men he
teas using, He replied: "About twelve
thousand, Ife could use one thousand
more if we could get the steel and other
??ater?ala1
That is a sample of other conditions,
m prosperity le evident every?
?h<it. Calamity howlers will not be able
la pi ? ipltate a panic tins time."
gene tot Smoot, of L'tah. ?me of the Re?
publican leaders of the Senate, also made
a statement to-day In which he said:
"The Demo? rats can't carry out the
promis?* they have made In th*? campaign
without bringing about an Industrial revo?
lution. With the responsibility upon
them. I do not believe ihe Democrats are <
K"i'i? to be as radlnal SS their promises
Save been. But as surely as they do. they
will tiling about an industrial revolution.
"The country is a protection country.
Bvea the laat election, which resulted in
u victory for .Mr. Wilson, showed that
He and the Democratic tariff principles
received only a minority vote, even u less
vote than Mr Bryan received four years
ago.
"The attitude ar.d actions of the Re?
publicans ?n the Senate will. I think, be
I Tactically the same as they have been
doting the last two sessions, when th?;
Democrats have had a majority In the
Meena, They will continue to light for a
protective tariff and other Republican
principles."
Some Republican opposition to the spe?
cial session was apparent among mem
bers to-nlgbt Although the While House
would Dot OOtnmenl upon the announce?
ment from N?-v\ York, friends of Piesi'lent
Tail said ttM latter had hoped the Demo?
crats would net hiin? on any farther
"glotarhanoe of business."
S. nal or M? Cumber, of North Dakota,
espreeaed another Republican slew,
namely, that he favored "getting It over
with."
Bryan Glad of It.
"I am very glad to h<-nr that Governor
WliKui has determined to call the extra
BOSS!on." said WlHium J Bryan. "It was
the wise thing to do, and I expected that
it weald be done."
Senator John Sharp Williams, of Missts
flppi. long Democratic ;eader of the
House ami a Democratic leader in the
gesietO, said:
"I think we would be stultifying our
selvea if, after putting the tailff revision
buis up to a RepuMlcen president, as
?i- did to Pioelflont Taft last session, we
Should fail to show our purpose of put?
ting up theee aeeeeeary revision bin? to
a Democratic President. Perhaps some
amendments may be suggested at the
?xt:a eeeetCfl to tho?--- bills to revise the
tariff that alnary have passed Congress
in the light of any Information that may
bees In the mean thae tereteped,
"it would b? wise to confine ourselves
at Ihll ?xtri s..-slon to the tariff and to
trust legislation, with such routine bual
I may be practicable to get through.
Th.- sooner the tHriff legislation can be
accomplished the better it will be for all
?omerned."
BeaatOf Dlxun, of Montana, chairman of
the National Progressive Committee, said:
"I thli.k Wilson has done the wise thing
In calling an extra session. This secures
Hi?* administration and the Democratic
party M opportunity to put Into actual
practica their promises made during the
campaign. The country will soon have M
opportunity to judge of Democratic ,*-er
formances."
**Will the Democrats receive the sup?
port of the Progressives In revising the
tariff?" Mr Dlxon was asked.
"That will depend upon their perform?
ances,'' he answered. "There are about
twenty-five Progressive members of tho
House, who will ?aucu? separately and be
a separate political entity, and no doubt
they will be glad to support the Wilson
programme If It squares with their own
belief. But. remember, the Progressives
an- protectionists," added the Senator,
laughing.
Representative Henry George, of New
York, said: "The extra session of Con?
gress should bt very short, and confined
altogether to tariff legislation, so as to
reduce the cost of living."
