Senators Curtail Reciprocity Treaty Over Salted Fish
Walter Wellman in the Chicago Record-Herald cites Maine Senator Hale and Massachusetts Senator Lodge blocking a reciprocity treaty with Newfoundland. They secured senatorial courtesy, amended the pact to drop salted fish, then left that item off the list. Newfoundland may reject, allowing Lodge to claim Boston’s concession failed. The episode, Wellman argues, undermines any Canada-U.S. pact.

Meantime Plans Reported to Send Lincoln Steffens to State
It is reported from Huron that arrangements are being made with McCuire’s Magazine to send Lincoln Steffens to this state to write up alleged political corruption. The motive remains unclear though hints point to the Primary League. Steffens may find corruption if hired, but evidence seems limited given the state’s large Republican majority on election day. Dick Richards’s interview with Frank Crane on election expenses may relate, and Richards unsettled the Republican committee chairman due to party shifts.
