only four of the many important; questions to
republican party in the next congress.
Inc revision of the tariff.
The election of United States senators by
direct vote OF the people
The enactment Of legislation for the regula-
ton and control of trusts and combinations.
The best evidence Of my position on these
questions, evidence, too, that Is conclusive,
IS the record OF my affirmative vote in the
one OF them - u .--. 80.
In that session cast two votes in favor OF
s, thg revision Of the tariff; one for the Babcock

amendment OF the. so-eaiied Cuban: reciprocity

republican colleagues on the ways and means

nority Of the republicans OF the house in a re-
/ am free to say that heartily indorse and
approve every principle and declaration con-
and, unlike some republicans, adhere to and
favor every principle and policy of the ma
tional republican platform as adopted By the
! last national republican convention In re-
spect to the tariff and its revision by congress,
l. am in hearty accord with the declaration OF
the. republicans Of Minnesota as expressed in
say that if elected to the ffty-eishth congress
shall not only work for revision along tha
duction of the duty on lumber, but will say to
you that if the republicans control the fifty

The main and marked difference indicated
by this statement is that Mr.. Tawney prom
ises a reduction in the lumber tariff, while
Mr.. Knatvold declares for free lumber.

writes: =
In general way, however, I, believe Mr.
Knatvold has everything to gain by snap
judgment, and that full discussion OF the
