ed this, but they added a p~rotectivl
tariff. They caught the beet sugar

will under democratic administration
Wyoming az to Tariff.
Speaking of Wyoming, the senator
said this state is as much interested
In a protective tariff as any other
state In the union, land possibly
more" The reduction Of the tariff on
wool and hides had crippled the sheep
and cattle business in this state, "ani
you all know to what extent" Hides
were placed on the free list, "and they
were on the free list sure enough. We
could not give them away. They were
piled up IN the prairies to rot, their
price In the market being not equal to
the freight. oh, yes; we had free
hides with a vengeance"
Billion Dollar People.
The billion dollar session" was
touched upon by the senator. He ex,
planned that the expenditures of a
billion dollars in a single session of
a congress but emphasized again the
remark made years ago by the late
Tom Reed Of Maine, YES, this is Y
billion doller congress, but it Is also IS
billion dollar people, Taking the ex
penditures, for Instance, for public
buildings, fhe speaker asked If any
one in the sound of his voice would
like to have the work of the govern
ment in thus city itself undone and the
money invested returned to the treas
ury. So with the whole state and ma
ton. The country has been growing.
its revenues have been growing, its ex-
ports exceed its imports by half a
billion dollars annually ard the coun-
try has thu money to spend.
Free Rural Delivery.
Speaking of the postofice depart
ment, as an illustration, Senator Wa
ten stated THAT the postofAce has
about the same ratio of deficit annually
now that i. had when the expenditures
were about 20 per cent OF what they
now are. He asked If the people would
like to e the rural free delivery
system abrogated- Now the farmers
in every section Of the country are
getting their mail as promptly and a.
satisfactorily as the men who live III
the cities and have their letters
brought to their doors. do you want
to go back to the old way and the old
sum the p~ostofice Department expeno.
ed? Nay, nay"
The vast sum voted by congress to
the p~ostoflce department, the speaker
explained, is but a little more than the
sums turned into the treasury from
the p~ostofices Of the country. 1t was
nothing but a transfer Of the money
from n account to another.

Taft the Man.
The senator closed with a plea to
the voters to vote for the man who.
in his Judgment, would COM to the
presidential office better fitted for that
position than any man who had e
been before the people. He has been
tried in every position requiring the
exercise Of ability-legislative. educa-

found wanting. "He is the best friend

Greeted BY Friends
Senator Warren had not taken his
seat before he was surrounded by his
friends, each anxious to grasp his hand
and to congratulate him. He left the
stage and stood on the floor OF the
auditorium, scores of men and women
black and white, crowding about him.
He is dearly beloved by the people OF

8 m Matters.

The audience was in a good humor
when Senator Warren came to local
matters and urged the election of the
congressional and county tickets. He
had been handed a copy Of the Boone.
rang of that afternoon, in which was o
challenge from wv. L. ONeill. chair.
man socialist central committee" dat
ed at Laramie and addressed to Hon
Otto Gramm, Chairman Republican
Central Committee" The challenge
said:
Dear Sir:-There has been SO much
said by Senator F. E. Warren in op.
position to socialism that we feel a
public debate would be Of interest to
the people of Laramie, as they would
have an opportunity to hear both sides
For this purpose we offer Senator War
rem to divide time with him, either at
Maennerchor hall or at the hall yor
have hired for him for this evening
Marguerite Prevey of Akron, O., who is
to speak at Maennerchor hall this ev
ening, will defend our side Of the ques
tion."
Explained the Matter.
Having read this challenge, Senator
Warren stated that in all the addresses
he had delivered In this state at this
time, he had never referred to the so
cialists to the extent of a single word
or syllable but once. That was al
Sheridan, where he had been asked tt
answer a question touching the exist
ence of a law to protect workingmei
in suits against corporations for in
jury. He stated that on Labor day
September z. at Sheridan, addresses
were delivered by Mr.. Mondell, the re
publican candidate for congress, Mr.
! White, the democratic candidate fol
the same position, and a socialist can
didate. The gentlemen had been toll.
that their addresses were expected t.

this agreement Messrs. Mondell an,

on the other hand, had disregardet
the request of the committee havin,
charge of the celebration and devote'
a portion Of his address to an attacl
upon both the republican and demo
cratic parties, claiming hat neithe
had enacted such a law as Senate
Warren's questioner had referred t
in his question.
Socialist Not Posted.
Senator Warren, speaking of thi
matter, told the questioner that tn
socialist speaker had evidently no
