examination of the endorsements on

private business affairs. In some
cases he would endorse the names OF
local firms on the drafts without their
knowledge, putting his own initials

FIGHT on TARIFF PLANK
MASSACHUSETTS REPUBLICANS
NAME STATE TICKET AND
ADOPT PLATFORM.

Boston. Oct. THE Republican
state convention has nominated q
state ticket headed by Lieutenant Gov
ernor Curtis Guild, Jr.. for governor
and Eben S. Draper of Hopedale for
lieutenant governor. The adoption of
the platform was preceded by long
and interesting discussion Of the tar
Id plank, the one presented by the
committee not being satisfactory to
the radical revisionists. The tariff
plank as adopted follows:
I'VE believe that the policy OF pro-
lection to American labor and Amer
ican industry should be maintained.
The Republican party Of Massachu-
sets reafiirms its devotion to the prIn-
ciple of protection and Is opposed to
tarin changes tending to depress or
destroy any OF our industries or to
lower the wages of American labor.
But we recognize the fact as declared
by the national Republican convention
1t Chicago that rates should be
changed when conditions have SO
changed that the public interest de-
mands the alteration OF schedules.
The time at which revision OF the tar
iff should be undertaken must be de-
tsrmined by representatives OF the
party from all parts of the country.
We approve the position taken by our
senators and representatives at the
last session OF congress In favor Of
present action and we urge that they
should continue to press upon their
party associates In congress from
other states the wisdom OF consid-
GRAFTON of the tarif for the purpose OF
roytsion and readtustment."
