of such duties as will equal the difference
between the cost of production at home
and abroad, together with reasonable
profit to American industries"
Nothing prettier in the catch-all line
has been offered in this campaign. The
most bound standpatter in the coun-
try can accept that as satisfactory and
the rankest free trader can find delight
in it. The declaration means simply moth
ing An attempt to legislate along that
line would simply open the way to inter
minable wrangling as to what constitutes
"a reasonable profit for hair-splitting on
wages on one industry, price of raw ma
terials in another, rebates and drawbacks
in a third and so on through the list of
thousands of articles that are now on
the tariff lists. Under such a proposition
an attempt at tariff revision at Bryan's
direction would serve only to halt indus
trial and commercial progress and keep
business unsettled during his term of
office.

field (Mass.) Republican.

The Omaha rld-Herald, in its issue
of Oct. 3, shows the bad blunder made by
it's Republican contemporary.
The paragraph which the Bee attributes
to Mr. Bryan was merely quoted by Mr..
Bryan from the Republican platform. :.
The Republican plank is as follows:
I'm all tariff legislation the true prin-
ciple of protection is best maintained by
the imposition of such duties as will equal
the difference between the cost of produc-
ton at home and abroad, together with a
reasonable profit to American industries"
Referring to the Bees blunder, the
World Herald says: "Now that it devel-
obs that the blow is aimed, not at the
Democratic position, but at the Republ-
can position, is it's force any the less?
Does it not, in fact, become the more
potent and convincing"

publican party because it is governed by
the protected interests, and that they con-
tribute to the campaign fund. If they do,
am glad to advise you that the campaign
fund is not fattering and that no cam
paign has been carried on more econom-
ically than this campaign"
You will notice nat Mr.. Taft does not
deny that they accept contributions from
the protected interests and he does not
deny my indictment. He simply says that
If the protected interests do govern, that
the fund is not fattering this year. But
what does Mr.. Taft call hattering FUND? ?
He and the public might differ as to how
much it will take to make a fattering
fund. He Is not willing that the public
shall know how much of a fund his party
has, or from whom it is received. Why
doesn't he tell you? Is he afraid that
you will not vote the Republican ticket
if you know where the campaign fund
comes from? If so, he means that you
will be sorry you voted the Republican
ticket when you find out how much of a
fund they have and where it comes from.
Is this political honesty? What do the
rank and file of the Republican party
think Of the Republican leaders who con-
ceal the amount and sources Of their cam
paign fund, and refuse to allow their
campaign methods to be known?

only is the trend among the voters to-
ward Democracy this year, but the senti-
ment for our candidates and our party
is increasing. Ny advices are that not
only will our candidates for President and
Vice President have large majority of
the popular vote, but we will also have
the majority in the electoral college"

TINY BABE IN THE BUREAU

This morning someone notified

tells a story OF betrayal such as
the police have seldom heard.
About a year ago while she was liv-
Ing with her parents at Cusick she
fell In with man named Ralph
Marin. This man made love to her,
promised to marry her and provide
her with good home.
1t was the same old story over
again after that. She beseached
him to marry her and give her
baby honorable birth. He would
promise her and she would feel
happy in the thought. But last
June her betrayer disappeared and
all trace of him was lost after he
came to Spokane. Fearing to re-

F1ENEY MIGHT BE PRESIDENT
BUT COAST MAN HAS NO SHOW

special Correspondence TO The Press
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. IL
"If Francis ]. Heney only lived in
the East he would be considered
excellent presidential timber"
A big man in national politics,
closely affiliated with the depart
ment Of interior, was the speaker.
He was asked, HAS the Pacific
coast anything at all in the way of
presidential possibilities
"The best man in the world, II
he lived on the Pacific coast, could
not at present get the nomination, :"
said the big politician. National
politics are complicated, and even
prominent county and state poll
ticians don't understand the big
game the way it is played today.
"As convention time draws near
lot of good men are picked out
When it becomes necessary to de-
eide on single man, the best one
is not chosen necessarily, but the
one who has the greatest chance
of success. This explains why there
is CONSERVATION In the ranks right
now as to whether to select Taft
or Hughes. The political managers
know Hughes can swing New York
with it's 80 electoral votes. 1t is
far from certain that Taft can. A
con ynptiOn doesn't ocE a nominee.
Would you be good PRESIDENT
so much as: Can you swing Hi
nois, New York and Pennsylvania? p
Those three states have 80 electoral
votes.
"No matter how good a president
man might make, he stands no
show on earth of getting the nomi-
nation unless he is in close touch
with the East. George Washington,
if he were alive and lived on the
Pacific coast, would have the hard
est time of his life showing the
campaign managers hec ould get
enough Of the 483 electoral votes
to win.
Personally, I believe Mr.. Heney.
ex-Gov. Geo. Pardee, and Judge
Lindsay of Denver constitute the
best presidential timber in the
West from the standpoint of popu-
lar opinion. If they lived in the
East they would be considered. :.
"Heney is widely known. Every
newspaper in the United States
has described him as a fighter, and
