GOV. DAVIDSON OPENS y hit
Wisconsin Executive Defends Protec
tive Tariff.

Watertown, Wis, Oct. 17.-Gov. j. o.
Davidson of Wisconsin last night open.
ed his campaign for reelection, speak
ing to nearly 1000 people here. Ha
said in part:
,"The most important national prob.
lem confronting the people Of the Unit.
ed States is the problem of our tariff.
The republican party stands today as
firmly committed to the policy Of pro-
lection to American labor and industry
as it did generation ago. The de.
gree Of protection, however, and the In.
dustries still requiring aid, is a ques.
tion for most careful consideration.
'"The United States has outgrown the
need Of tariff whose schedules are in
many instances prohibitiye and which
cause injustice rather than public
benefit, but 1t cannot be argued from
this that the entire tariff fabric should
be torn asunder The tariff is largely
a question Of standard of life. It Ii
my firm belief that Just as long as the
people of this country are the best fed,
the best clothed, the best housed, and
possess the best education, giving q
high standard Of life--just so long is a
protective tariff necessity to main
tain the dignity and independence Of
American labor. The schedules should
be gradually lowered until the duty ia
equal to the difference between the
cost OF labor In Europe and the United
States"
Gov. Davidson answering the charge
Of John A. Aylward, democratic candi.
date for governor Of alleged excessive
expenditures for running the state gov.
ernment, said his opponents method Of
deriving the cost of government was
absolutely without reason and his con.
clusions most fallacious.
