on coal, and the prospects Of the Dem
ocrats carrying the next election. Gov
srnor NacCorkle was the first seen.
lie said:
"Oi course, 'elt, and do ieel a vast
deal OF interest 10 the coal tariff, and it
seems from the agreement reached by
the Democratic members Of the House
and Senate that we will have a tariff on
coal I felt this interest for TWO rea-
sons.
"In the first place, believe that it
is iadustrialIy the right thing to do.
"In the second place, ] believe that
from a Democratic standpoint 10 was
the best thing that could be- done for
the Democratic party; for, leaving out
of the discussion the question Of
whether 10 is best or not from an indus
trial standpoint, certainly there is a
Democratic sentiment in favor OF a
t.-tr oo coal I. OF course. felt graft.
