Mr. Taft declared without reservation i
that the reciprocal agreemeiit with Camilla
would be a benefit rather hn a detriment
to the agricultural Interest of this country,
lie aald he stated this in answer to the
criticism which bad been directed ugainn
the measure presumably on the part of the
farmer.
As for himself, the president said he felt
thnt the undoubted general benefit of the I
pending agreement would entirely vindicate I
those who are responsible fqr It. The great

Mr. Taft'i address, the first of hla pres

eied at the National Corn exposition In the
auditorium at the state fair grounds. It
waa because of the agricultural character
of hla surroundings and the presence of a
great many of the Influential farmers of
this section that the president chose to
take up arguments In behalf of the pro
posed agreement front the standpoint of
the agriculturalist.
The auditorium, which has a seating
capacity of mora than 4,000, waa crowded
to overflowing. The crush about the doors

(From a Stuff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. (Special Tele- J
gram ) The friends of Canadian reciprocity :
In the administration rank and in con- !
grcss met with another diappolntmcnt to
day when the house ways and means com
mittee postponed action until tomorrow.
This course of the committee was .some
thing of a puzzle to the open advoca'o of
the hill. The confusing problem came when
democratic members of the committee, wnu
had been Instructed by the party caucus to
vote for the measure, assented to a lurthcr
postponement.
To reach some sort of comprehension of
the Intricacies that Involve the fate of this
measure It must lx borne In mind ih.it a
majority of the ways and means committee
la openly and publicly committed to Its
support, vet In the face of this majority a
motion to further delay action for one dr.y
j Is carried. Thla may mean much or It may
mean little, but when It la remembered that
only three weeks remain to this congress
It is a fair Inference that some of the pro
fessed aupportera of the bill are not 1-ea.lly
enthusiastic In Its behalf. Every day of
delay In sending the bill to the scnata Itli
the favorable endorsement of the holme
means another nail in the coffin, of
reciprocity.
Favorable Action Expected.
The ways and means committee will
meet tomorrow morning and McCall and
the other members who stand with him
for the bill expect to get a favorable re
port ordered, but as It will be the last day
of the week they can hardly expect to get
the bill before the house until next week;
then It must take the routine course of
legislation and It may be several days mora
before It get to the senate.

In the senate the measure must take Its
tegular course ot reference to the finance
committee and there undergo due con
sideration. Then, should It cotno from the I

The committee had the McCall bill

In the committee tomorrow will be close,

confidently that the bill will be ordered

Mr. Faync, chairman of the committee,
waa too III today to be present and Mr.

other d ii tie and at their request action
wua deferred.
At the conference of democratic senator
today, no action wa taken In regard to
the Canadian reciprocity agreement. It
wa decided to adjourn to meet again
Tuesday. There was no discussion of the
tariff board measure, but a revolution was
adopted calling upon the committee on

for the minority conference.

It Is decided to throw tho question of re
moval open to a vote of the people, and
they do decide for It, there should b iv
territory set aside In which the capital
cannot bo placed and that Lincoln should
have a chance to re-enter the race even
If once shut out by an affirmative vote to
remove. Thla objection has been nnswered
In various ways, but the Idea that perhaps
It waa being made Into a race between
Lincoln and the veWlo field has grown
ami the defeat of the hill was the result.

The assertion ' that th wets were the
supporters of the capital removal bill was
discredited by an analysis of the votes on
th question. Those against It war six
teen wets and forty-two dry and for It
thirty-two dry and six wet. Tha division

that question may have had some Influence
In spite of the emphatic denials of the
western member.
