Washington, Aug. y, 1902.

ltely to take part in the campaign r
in the New England States, III
formed your correspondent that
the most prosperous condition ex-
listed throughout the West and
that. while there was no active in
terest in national politics, the Peo-
pie were too well satisfied to desire
any change. When asked to de
fine the tariff plank in the Iowa
Republican platform, he said that
it meant that the people desired
some modification of the tariff
schedules. That i'll this time OF
plenty they considered such modi-
fcation could be judiciously made.
That while true to the principles
of protection, they believed there
were certain industries which no
longer needed the same protection
that was essential to their prosper
ity when the Dingley law was en-
acted and they expected the party
to modify those schedules. They
were particularly DESTROYS OF a
modification of the schedule at
fecting trust made articles but
were convinced that any revision
of the tariff could be intrusted
only to the Republican party.
/ Speaking of the President, he said
that the people of that section were
all enthusiastic in his support, and
even the Democrats approved OF
him and many expressed the wish
that he was their leader instead of
the leader of the Republicans.
"Mr. Roosevelt" continued the
/ Secretary, "is the type of man
which Westerners love. He is fear
less, honest and brilliant They
are for him to a man. They re-
gard with the greatest approval
his attempt to regulate the trusts.
They consider that he is following
the rational path in his effort to
secure that regulation through the
: courts and by means of the Sher-
man law. If that law should
/ prove defective, they believe Mr.
Roosevelt will so inform Congress
pointing out its defects, and that
s Congress will promptly remedy
+ them. Such a course, they say, Is
;. i'll marked contrast to the revolu
tionary methods advanced by Dem
ocratic leaders who would seek t.
r, destroy the trusts by radical re
vision of the tariff, thereby throw
E ing hundreds of men out of EN-
d ployment, rendering worthless TIL
(. investments Of thousands of bust
y ness men and undermining th
j. general prosperity with which tn
,r country is blessed"
