If the Republicans are wise they will
keep their eyes on la Toilette. He is a
representative of the western idea that
the tariff is in need Of reforming and
that the trusts should be curbed- He
has not hesitated to say that he stands
for reform along these lines. In all
proba bility If La Toilette were to try
for the presidential nomination of the
Republican party on a platform mimi

But he is a man of power and re-

take up this problem later and make il

Roosevelt feels his tenure of the
White House TO be in his own right
he may assert his desire for a little
tariff revision in the direction in which
his opinions turn. despite the platform
on which he was elected. The present
