Full of Ideas All Sorts of Rumors Afloat nml Some, thing Going to Happen Three or I'our North Carolina Negroes on .. Hand Reciprocity Not Half so Interesting: as the Committee Places. Times Bureau Congress Hall Hotel, H. h. C. Bryant. Washington, March 30 The town 18 full of democrats and the democrats are full of ideas. Some thing 1b going to happen. All sorts of rumors are afloat. Candidates for office are on the run. Democratic congressmen were never more popu lar than right now, when good Jobs are waiting for the right men. Three or four North Carolina negroes, old fellows who voted many years ago but will -never do so again unless they change their residence, are here to get their share.' Everybody is preaching that to the victors belong the spoils and the doctrine is taking well. V-:' ;"' - v'"-"; But the most absorbing topic Is: "What ts the committee on commit tees going to do about Its report on committee assignments? When will It report?" . Reciprocity is not half as interest ing to tho average congressman as committee places. This is perfectly natural for most of the good work here is done by and through commit tees. A majority of the represen tatives present desire a report Sat urday night. The committee, it is" understood, would wait a week or longer and report to a second caucus. Reciprocity has friends and ene mies. Representative Webb, al though lie is not here to speak for himself, is opposed to President Taft's proposition. So is Senator Simmons and. Representative Gudger. More than one hundred democrats of the house, It is said, will not vote lor the Canadian treaty unless there iB tacked to It provisions reducing the duties on farm Implements and other things that the tiller of the oil buys. Most of the democrats be lieve that it reciprocity is a good thing, but It; should be accompanied by several important tariff schedules. "We will see that the farthers get a square deal," said Representative SELECTIONS FOR THE (By Leased Wire to The Times.)

"The south will profit greatly In one Item," said Congressman Lever, of South Carolina, "If the reciprocity treaty is passed. We now sell $1, 11)0,000 worth of cotton seed oil to Canada with an ad valorem duty of 17 per cent. Take down this wall and we will sell three times as much Tills will add to tbe profits of the rot ton Reed oil mill and the cotton far mer.". ; "Are you in favor of passing the reciprocity bill by Itself?" he was asked. "N'o, Indeed. We mitKt send with It a bill reducing the tariff on wool and woolen goods and steel and add free foodstuffs." TWs Is a sample of the talk heard at the capitol. : The democrats of the ways; and means committee of the house, who are preparing the reciprocity bill and bills to reduce the duties in three or more tariff schedules, are divided into "progressive" and "conserva tive" camps. Chairman I'nderwood, leader -of the conservatives, backed by Messrs, Palmer,-, of Pennsylvania, Brantley of Georgia, Dixon of In diana, Hammond of Minnesota, Har rison of New York, and Peters of Massachusetts, it is said, favor the passage of the reciprocity measure the first thing and passing it to the senate and then following this up with bills reducing the woolen, cot ton and foodstuff schedules. Tho progressives, under the leadership of Claude Kitchin, of North Carolina. would, it Is understood, pass the woolen, and perhaps other schedules, first. The following named are counted with the Kitchin party: Shackelford of Missouri, Hull of Ten nessee, Hughes of New Jersey, James of Kentucky, and Ralney of Illinois. Randall of Texas, is classed by himself.'.:---, '.'":'-: These men, it is said, have failed to agree upon a course of action but the Indications point to victory for tbe "progressives," as they call themselves. Ralney of Illinois, Is considering the: cotton schedule. Southerners argue that the cotton schedules were framed to benefit New England and not the south, and, therefore, they are not worried about it. Chairman Underwood Is doctoring the woolen schedules. The reduction there will he considerable from 11 'o 12 to 5 and 6 cents perhaps, Government's Best Seller. Ity Leased W'ire to The Times.)
