Washington notes Taft stands with only a small circle of wealthy manufacturers. He opposed a wool bill despite earlier praise of the Payne Aldrich tariff, vetoing a measure that would cut duties on wool. Insurgent Republicans in the West rally to challenge Taft's tariff stance and leadership.
The insurgent Republicans widen the rift in the party, predicting Taft will win few or no delegates from Wisconsin Minnesota North Dakota South Dakota Oklahoma California Washington Kansas Nebraska Montana Oregon Idaho in the next Republican convention. If those states back insurgents, Taft faces likely defeat for renomination and any nominee may struggle, though Taft remains unsettled.
A satirical column notes division in the national Republican party over LaFollette, Taft’s veto potential, and Congress adjournment. It comments on cabbage prices, Cannon’s adjournment fate, British workers’ fears, autos crossing train tracks, and remarks by Mr. Wiley on agricultural spending. It also hints at Democratic gains and Wisconsin Representative Berger.
A mosaic of remarks touches on pensions and a new Constitution within a decade, Senate vetoes on arbitration treaties, a famous cow named Pauline selling milk, and public, candid congressional caucuses. It notes Roosevelt’s call to prominence in Pittsburgh, a strange Boston sea monster, and Taft’s evolving historical image, with references to Wilson, Wiley, Hobson, and Taft’s tariff “Don’t hurry club.”
