After we elect President will revise our
tariff. Any man in any party who proposes
tariff revision on the of a national election
is either too uninformed or too insincere TO be

revision before a Presidential election would
proong that disturbance for ruinOus months.
Meanwhile tariff commission should gather the
facts and have them ready for Congress.
We must amend the railway rate law at points
where il is defective. We must make modern
the Sherman law which shackles honest
enterprise because it does not fit present con-
ditions We must prevent overca ritaliZation
and the swindlng for which it furnishes op-
portunity and excuse We must drive the Pana-
ma Canal to completion and improve the nation $
waterways that the people may have the trans
portation designed by nature
And we must and will end the infamy and
shame of child labor in this republic Those
who saw that it is unconstitutional for the nation

the Supreme Court and the validity OF dozen
similar laws already on the statute books we
