Taft veto likely to be postponed by wool tariff plan
Democratic leaders claim enough votes exist in the House to pass a wool tariff revision over Taft's veto while a Senate agreement on a higher raw wool duty may pressure the president to hesitate before vetoing. Underwood and La Follette discussed the proposals as a possible compromise. The cotton tariff bill was sent to the Senate finance committee for an early report, with opposition from Southern Republicans expected to slow proceedings and possibly extend the session.
