later on. But the history of the
republican party made eight years
ago, is not such as to inspire the
doubting progressive with confi
dence,
When Mr. Taft wm nominated
and afterwards elected, a platform
of principles was declared.
The
people then had confidence in the
republican party for they believed
It would live up tn its promise«
made in its platform of declared
principles.
One of that platform’s leading
declaration» w as that it would revise
the tariff. The people bad become
tired of an extreme high tariff, (the
highest ever known in the higtory
of th«* government up to that time)
and they demanded that the sche
dule» should l«e revised downward.
Mr Taft, in his campaign speeches,
said thetariff was too high and that
the duties should lie reduced.
The people trusted the promises
of these republican leaders ami elect
ed Mr. Taft. At the same time
both branches of congress were re
publican by a good working majority
and there was no reason why the
tariff promises made to the people
should not be faithfully kept and
the tariff reduced m the people de
manded and lielieved would be done.
Note the result.
After Mr. Taft’s election one of
his first official acts was to convene
congress in special session for the
one purpose of revising the tariff.
After some months of investiga
tion a tariff bill wm passed and with
President faft’s signature, became
a law. In signing the bill, popularly
named the Payne-Aldrice tariff, he
said it wm the best tariff law ever
enacted by the republican party. A
republican congress had made good
a promise made to the people at its
national convention. It had revised
the tariff. Hut when the law wm
analyzed and dissected, it wm found
the revision wm upward instead of
downpard, as the |«eople demanded
and m Mr Taft said should I*
done.
As a matter of course the people
were greatly disappointed and. after
they found how they had been bun
coed. they l>ecame angry. When
the biennial election arrived two
years later the people registered
indorsed bv Roosevelt. Perkins &
Company?
The great maas of republican«
who rarnrel up the progressive ban
ner. are men of principle. They did
not take that momentous step at
Chicago in 1912. without aenous
thought and. probably, a large ma
jority of them will refuse to be
herded, like cattle. I>ack into the

who think and wh<> place principle
abova partisan gain and are sure to
refuse to be made catapaws of to
rake republican chestnuta. When
they retielled against g. o. p. tactics
it wm for the purpose of driving
the old gang from governmental
management. Now they are invited
by sugar-cmite<i promises, to help to
place the old gang in power again.
Will thev forget ami be forgiven?
Well, hardly, many of them say.
Thev were buncoed in 19<>8 and for
which they are blameleas. If they
allow themselves to l<e again bun-
cued in 1916, they will simply be

CAMPAIGN OF VITUPERATION
The campaign of vituperation,
misconstruction and faultfinding,
now being carried on by Candidate
Charles Fl Hughe«, may I h > a winner
in some localities and with some
unthinking minds; but it will result
Itoomarang like with the vMt ma
jority of thinking people. Most
people are fair even to an apponent
in their thoughts. They are willing
to give even the Devil his dues and
they are sure to rear nt Mr Hughes'
methods of campaign.
If Mr. Hughes will admit what
he kmiws to be facts, he must tell
of several gixxl things for which
Mr. Wilson and his congress are
responsible. Even the things which
had lieen agitate«! by progressive
reform republicans and which have
lieen carried to a «uccesaful con
clusion by a democratic administra-
tior, are ¡amm-d in silence by Mr.
Hughes.
To res«I his »pec-hex and from
which draw conclusions, one would
think that all democrats are dishon
est. incompetent and are trying to
work havoc to the government. He
