Tariff Fight Splits Republicans Over La Follette Substitutes
A division in the Republican ranks surfaced as eleven progressive senators began conferences to craft substitutes to Smoot’s woolen tariff, led by La Follette and Cummins. They aim to carry the Republican balance and win Democratic supporters while pledging to solidify the progressive element and align with cotton wool and metal substitutes. Senator Warren denounced preelection promises as “atrocious betrayal,” arguing the public favored revenue tariffs but not protection, and noting state results favored protection or revenue tariffs only loosely.

Charles G. Dawes president of the Central Trust Company and former comptroller of the currency issued a statement blasting the administration currency bill before Congress. He warns of a politically controlled Federal Reserve and argues the plan would centralize power, rival independent banks, and worsen the nation’s banking system. He says the bill may be more radical than Aldrich in centralized powers and would reduce profitability under national law versus state law. Mary G Quitman dies at Amherst Va widow of Maj F Henry Quitman, a Confederate officer. She had worked in the pension office in Washington after marriage and leaves a son John Anthony and three daughters including Mrs Minnie Quitman Sanders.
