If is clear to me this man was down here writing these things to his people trying to make out that he was doing great things.

Senator Gallinger reclared that the republicans were in no temper to be foreed and Senator Lodge insisted that aSsurances of a prolonged hot summer session would not be conductive to hastening tariff action. Will be no Haste. Discussion on this point arose when Senator Gallinger sought ipformation as to the intent of the democrats. Sena#or Simmons said, he hoped that the republicans were ® not making threats to purposely delay passage of the tariff, which all business .interests wanted settled speedily. Republican senators assured him that they were making no threats, but that it was bound to insist that there weuld be no haste with the tariff unless an early adjournment should be the inducement therefore. Wilson’s Course Unwise. Senator Ghllinger said the reading in the morning papers every day that the prexident would insist on holding consress here to emact currency leg- islation_would not speed up action on the tariff. Senator Lodge added that it was most unwise to demand action on such important legislition as the currency of a “tired-out congress Progressive republicans _disclaimed any intention to delay voting on the tariff. Senator Borah said that the statement to the contrary from the other source, did not depress the view of the minority side.
