By Associated Press
j Washington, D. C., Feb. 6. —Repeal
of the toll exemptions provision of the
Panama Canal law was before Con
gress to-day nM an administration
, measure backed by President Wilson.
| Although a repeal of the section

I the Democratic platform adopted by
i the Baltimore convention which nom*

I their forces in the Senate, where the
I hardest fight will come. Some Demo
crats there are avowedly in opposition
to the President's wish and have an-
I nounced their intention for fighting
his proposal.
A message to Congress, probably de
livered in person by the President, is
expected as soon as conferences de

Republicans Confident
This Year's Campaign
Will Be a Winner
Philadelphia, Feb. 6.—Political de
velopments of the last day or two j
harve been so rapid-fire in their na
ture that leaders of all parties are ob
serving a diplomatic reticence in dis
cussing the situation. McCormlck's
unwise attack upon his Democratic
competitor Ryan at the outset of the
primary contest has embittered Demo
crats all over the State and advices
received hero indicate tremendous op
position to the slated "reorganization"
candidate.
Congressman Palmer is said to
have declared more than a month ago
that he had no thought of being a
candidate for Governor and it is said j
here by those in his confidence that
he has no hope of a successful issue
of the gubernatorial contest. He
maneuvered for the United States sen
atorship because it was more prom
ising and would invite support of tho
Wilson administration.
Attempts to conceal the schism in
the Fllnn party have failed and an
open break between the honest Roose
velt men and those who are con.lur- |
hig with his name cannot be avoided
much longer.
At Republican State headquarters
here there is quiet confidence in the
outcome of the campaign, the bitter
controversies and clashing of personal
ambitions among the inanagers of the
other two parties giving increased im
petus to the "back to the party"
movement in this Republican State.
