Illinois Towns, (By Leased Wire to The Times.) i Chicago, April 19 Socialists elect ed taree mayors in a3 many Illinois towns and also carried the majority of the board of aldermen in another, according to today's returns from the municipal elections of yesterday. At Urancite City, Marshall E. KIrkpatrick, socialist, was elected mayor; at O'Fallon, N. L. Thomas, socialist, was elected mayor, and at Davis, J. J. Cleveland, socialist, and three socialist trustees were eluded. The socialists elected six alder men and the progressives three, at Canton.

Webb, (.miner ami Houghton Are De limit in Their Position. (Special to Tae Times.) Washington, April 19 Represen tatives Webb, (Judger and Houghton, of the North Carolina delegation, are three of the ten or twelve democrats that will not vote tor the Canadian reciprocity bill. Four Ohinns, three Louisiunans and one Minnesota!) and perhaps others will stand with them. The lenders nave tried to drive them back on the reservation but they will not be driven. "I am opposed to Canadian reci procity and shall vote against it, said Representative Douguton today. It was not an issue in my cam paign, and it is now pressed by lead ing republicans of the Taft, Mann, McCall, Lodge and Crumpacker school. A democrat should feel free to vote as his judgment dictates and a majority of his constituents desire him to do. Letter received from evey county in my district lead me to believe that my constituents op pose the measure as offered. "They tell us that reciprocity is a cardinal principle of the democratic party. This may be true, but sham reciprocity'-has been condemned in our platforms. It is argued by the advocates of tuls measure that it will not reduce the products of the farm, but will lower the cost of living. Such a thing Is impossible. It is a sham, or it will hurt. Cattle, hogs and other stock are on tue free list, but meats, meat products and the like handled by the beef trust are protected." Mr. Doughfon Is very emphatic. He thinks his constituents are with him. GERMAN AMBASSADOR. President Taft Has Several Names Under Consideration. ( By Leased Wire to The Times. ) Washington, April 19 President Taft has several names under con sideration for the post of ambassador to Germany, which will become va cant on July 1 next through the re signation of Dr. David J. Hill, the in cumbent. Among them are Hunting ton Wilson, assistant secretary ot state; Thomas J. O'Brien, who is now ambassador at Tokio, and Charles H. Shcrrlll, who is now minister to the Argentine republic. , It, is not likely however, that the . president will reach a decision for several weeks. Friends of Assistant Secretary Wil son say that he personally would pre fer to be transferred from his pres ent post to Berlin. It Is believed here that Mr. Wilson will succeed Dr. Hill.

(Ily Leased Wire to The Times) Washington, April 19 The house entered today into ihe home stretch of its debate on the Canadian reciprocity bill which has been under discussion exclusively since last Sat urday. A vole on the bill, according to present indications, probably will be had before adjournment tomor row. When the house mei today n was with the knowledge thai, some oPlhe heaviest guns for and against reci procity would he fired.

As the debute 'progressed this week the curious alignment, between old line regulars and republican insurg ents became more remarkable. Standpatters.'' like Cannon, Dulzcll. and' Fordnev were seen cheering the speeches cC .Insurgents such as Pick ett, of Iowa, and Lcnroot, ol Wis consin, while other insurgents, Nor ris, ol Nebraska, and Murdock, of i Kansas, for instance, have reached the point where they will applaud to the echo the utterances of a stand patter. The house never expected to see such a s-ectacle. . The Canadian reciprocity bill is sure to pass the house, but Repre sentative Underwood aud other dem ocratic leaders heard today ot u plot that the minority has laid to embar rass the majority. The republicans are divided on the bill, but the plan of the opposing faction is to attempt to tack on the "farmers' free list" bill as an amendment, to reciprocity, thus placing the democrats m a posi tion of having to vote down the free list amendment. If such a move is made when reci procity comes to a vote, Representa tive Underwood will make the point of order that the amendment is not germane, and, i;: this does not hold, the amendment will be voted down anywav, as the Canadian agreement, to be effective, must be passed in un amended form. The democrats will take up their free list bill afterwards as a separate measure. Ex-Speaker Cannon made his long expected speech this afternoon in op position to the Canadian agreement. He characterized tue legislation as the most important to come before congress since the act that authorized the war with Spam, "and yet," said lie, "the legislation is being hurried through without opportunity to care fully consider it.

Washington, April 19 In line with its policy to go slow with refer ence to any action looking to inter vention in Mexico, the house com mittee on foreign affairs met today, postponed consideration of tne Flood and Garrett resolutions relating to the Mexican situation until a sub committee can make inquiries, 'lne Flood resolution asks taat this gov ernment shall offlcally recognize the Insurrectos; tle Garrett resolution calls upon tne foreign affairs com mittee to' report as to exact condi tions ,1)1 Mexico. At a meeting of the full commit tee on foreign affairs it was decided to name a sub-committee to fain over both of these resolutions with Pres ident Taft and Secretary of State Knox. The sub-committee consists of Representatives Garner, Sharp and Foster. The foreign affairs com mittee will take no action as to tae Mexican sltuaton until the views of President Taft and Secretary Knox are known.

THE FREE UST BILL Reported Favorably to the House Today Report of the Committee Tells of the Broken Promises and Says the Democrats Men Swept Into Power to Make an Honest Revision. Times Itiireau, Congress Hull Hotel, y II. 10. C. Bryant. ' .-.'Washington April 1 !) Chairman Underwood reported todav lor the committee on- wn.vs and means the I ar liters' -free list lull with their re commendations that it pass. In Ins report Mr. liuleryo,)(l elaims tnal the exemption from duty ol all arucles iffected will reduce the tariff revenue only $10,UlJ.4!i."i. 'Ims amount, he says, is inconsiderable in comparison with tue great saving and advantages to the American people.'. 'Ihe report ol the committee tells ol broken promises made bv me re publican pitriv and suvs that, the dem ocrats were swept Into power to mako nn honest revision ol the tarill schedules. 'Ihe Canadian reciprocity lull, which has jie.l passed the house, does not go far enough. President Taft is quoted several times lo prove that Ihe republican' tariff Is the niolaer of trusts, and the democratic position on .the .' question of 'tariff duties the rigaleoiis one. Republican promises and reoulillcan perlorni- r.nces are compared. I he pledge ot the Chicago plat l orm and the Pavne- Mdrich tariff law are used as 1 1 lus tra! ions. "Recent statements bv or from the republican administration concerning investigations made to ascertain the real cost of production ol domestic nd foieign competing articles," says the report, "are to lie considered in Ihe light of our1. experience in the past." ( . The wnvR.onrt means committee caarges the republicans wlla wilful ly deceiving the people year after vc-ar. The minority report of Ihe. senate select committee on wages an J prices -of - commodities, submitted to the senate June 23, 191(1. is used against the tariff. ' Three causes were given in the advance, in tood prices and the cost of living. ' the re port reads, "They are: (1) the tar iff, (2) trusts, combines and monop olies, and (;!) increased money sup ply.". Speeches ol President Taft and the republican. platform. ot J90.S are con fessions, declare tae Underwood, re port, thai -t .ie theory ot high pro tective duties, as urged by the re publican party, has broken down. Combinations and trusts that prey upon the people have been lostered by the tariff. Under protection American manufacturers have de stroyed competition and lorced un reasonable profits. "There was a time when leading republicans thougat thut there was no danger in having a tariff aigher than necessary to protect any indus try," Is a quotation given from Mr. Tal't's speech at Springfield, last Feb ruary." It was thought that if the country was made dependent on man ufactures behind the tariff wall the competition between, manulacturers would stimulate the reduction In the cost of production and thus reduce the price. "But the temptation to combine by which the price could bo controlled and thus the excessive tariff taken advantage (it, led to a modification or the protective theory." The ' republicans promised in 1 !MI,s to revise the tariff so that tne pro tection ol any industry would not ex ceed the larllf imposed more than tae difference between the cost, of pro duction here and abroad and enough to give a fair profit to the domestic producer. On this promise the party won The promise was repudiated by the Pavne-Aldrich tariff and the party driven from power last Novem ber. As a result of the rebuke to his party President Taft brought forward the Canadian reciprocity agreement. Concerning this treaty the report, says: "It, is not, nor can it be ex pected unaided to afford, more than a fragmentary and partial relief to the people. The advantages ot the agreement in proportion to the num ber affected, are greater for tae peo ple of Canada than for the people ot our own country." The relief needed, the report con tinues, can be affected only by an honest revision of the tariff. The plain mandates of the people make such revision the duty of the present coiigress.
