Another factor In the situation, which is fully appreciated by the republican leaders as menacing President Roosevelt's reelection, is the fact that, paradoxical as It may get m. democratic victory Is the only method of escaping tariff revision. A word of explanation will make this proposition very clear Them Is scarcely any possibility of democratic control of the senate during the next four years, owing to the fact that the present republican majority of 24 la distributed among states admittedly republican. Should the democrats, therefore, elect a democratic president and a democratic house of representatives the republican senate would stand as a bar-
