...fight in the Senate for higher tariff rates for Pennsylvania's wares. Thwarted by the Progressive Republican-Democratic coalition, he testily predicted the Tariff Bill's death. He is ever active to lower surtax rates on large incomes, to reduce the corporation tax. In general his fiscal policy is identical with that of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, his great and good friend, whom he has repeatedly defended against attacks by Senators Couzens of Michigan and Walsh of Montana...

Most logical successor would be Senator Charles Linza McNary of Oregon, young (55), in popularity the best middleman between Regulars and Insurgents. Last week Senator McNary moved up to Assistant Republican Leader when Senator Wesley Livsey Jones of Washington resigned to succeed Wyoming's late great Warren as Chairman of the Appropriations Committee. Shrewd. Senator McNary will not openly contest the leadership with Senator Watson...
