WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, Dec.
With the aid of Senator
who, it is believed, will re-
main a democrat until the time
approaches for the presidential
convection when he will declare
himself a
of party, the
has practically reorganized
the republican machines
in North and South Carolina and
the former members, who were
under obligations to Senator
are now out in the cold. The
reorganization process has just be-
gun in Alabama but no
will be lost to perfect it. The
same is true of Texas where Mr.
Roosevelt has National
Hawley.
In Missouri, Mr. Roosevelt is
deferring his decision in the Ker-
ens Hitchcock controversy but it
is alleged that whichever faction
corner out squarely with a pledge
of support in the next presidential
convention will be declared the
winner. In Illinois he has secured
pledges from a large number the
leading republicans and probably
the entire republican machine,
although it has not been bis policy

that the President score a

Cuba in his forthcoming message
He will, I am told, attempt to
steer between the Scylla of the
high protectionists and the Char-
of the Oxnard faction and
at the same time gain the Golden
Apple of Sugar Trust favor by
recommending a material
in the tariff rates on raw Cu-
ban sugar. It is worthy or note in
this connection that the report of
Secretary of War, Root, who, by
the way, stands very close to the
President, recommends a
able reduction in our duties on
imported from Cuba, say-
that present duty to Cu-
can be performed by the
of such a reciprocal tariff

In this connection some figures
on our sugar consumption and on
republican methods of raising a
revenue may prove interesting.

current year is estimated at

producers, using the to in-
the producers of Rico

majorities of both
House and Senate are too large to
permit of the democrats taking the
initiative in the introduction of
needed legislation but will
persistently and consistently urge
the reduction of the tariff, at least
in so far as its provisions are pro-
whether they see that
such reduction will be most surely
by the ratification of
reciprocity treaties or by a change
of the tariff schedules.
A constant effort at retrench-
in expenditures the cur-
of
will be exerted and it is hop-
ed that unity of action under the
direction of an leader may ac-
much along these lines.
