lessly expressed and I shall maintain
them in the future as 1 have in the
past, simply because | believe them to
be true. 1 have the profoundeSt faith
in the policy of protection and l find in
the platform you have just adopted
one of the most complete and en-
phatic tributes to it's wisdom and eff
ficiency ever penned by the hand of
man.
Il believe that the mighty trans
formations of the last six years de-
mand change in some of the
schedules that were enacted to carry
this policy into effect and I find in
your platform q distinct recognition Of
the necessity. l believe that some of
the tariff regulations are too high and
that they should be reduced, and 1 find
in the platform the warrant for my
position.
"Monopolies Are lntoIerable."
81 believe that monopolies are in
tolerable and that all just powers of
the government should be increasingly
exerted to prevent and to overthrow
them, and 1 find in the platform that
tariff schedules must be opposed to
domestic monopolies as well as to for
eign. ! believe in reciprocity that viii

1 find in the platform that reciprocity
between nations is trade for mutual
advantage and both sides must give
and take.
Conscious of the differences of opin
ion that I have already outlined and
conscious of nothing but a spirit of
amity, yet intend to use all my power,
humble and feeble as it is, to make the
views that I have so inadequately

Truth Found in Controversy.
In an address Senator Dolliver said:
II believe they are all encouraging
and helpful signs of the progress of
the party and of the country. 1t has
long been a conviction of mine that in
the noise and dust of controversy we
are likely to find the truth. I think
that a political party that is in the
long run damaged by the net results
Of joint debate is very far gone along
the main road to destruction.
The platform congratulates the ma
ton on the present era of prosperity,
commends the administration of Gov.
Cummins. rejoices in Iowas leader
ship in national affairs, favors good
roads legislation, indorses the Louisi-
ana purchase commission. and on other
subjects says:
reservation the administration of
President Roosevelt. Called, as he
was to the office of chief executive
under the most trying circumstances,
his fidelity to the public welfare. the
wisdom of his utterances and counsel
and the painstaking zeal which he

admiration and appreciation. Iowa

The Tariff Utterance.
1--WE riterate our faith in the his

it's influence our country, foremost in
the bounties of nature, has become

the laborer to successfully insist upon
good wages and has induced capital
to engage in production with a reason
able hope of fair reward. It's vindi-
cation is found in the history of it's
success and the rapidity with which
our national resources have been de-
veloped and our industrial indie
pendence secured, and we heartily re-
new our pledge to maintain it.
Tariff rates enacted to carry this
policy into effect should be just, fair
and impartial. equally opposed to for
eign control and domestic monopoly,

vidual favoritism, and must from time
to time be changed to meet the vary

relations in our foreign and domestic

| should be increased, and duties that
are too high should be reduced.
