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.

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 fooled again ami la-come mere timls in the hands of the g o. p. leaders. 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.
