BELL ON NEWLANDS

Theodore A. Bell, of California, who
spoke at the Grand Theatre Wednes-
day night to packed house, took
occasion to say that Senator Francis
q. Newlands is Presidential timber.
Mr.. Bell referred to the fact that
Senator Newlands already has had the
opportunity to accept the efforts of his
friends for the nomination but has
declined, and that Senator Newlands
as candidate four years hence is the
logical man of the Democratic party.
mo man can contemplate the rec
ord of Senator Newlands," Mr.. Bell
said, ''in the United States Senate as
shown in the press reports of the
country without feeling of just pride
of him and his work.
He was foremost in the most i'm
portant committees in Congress such
as those concerning the Inland Water
ways and the National Conservation of
Natural Resources, and the country
at large comedies him the honor of
being the master mind in these move
ments.
You may not appreciate it, but 1
want to tell you that you for years
have possessed a man that has not
only made a reputation for Nevada
but one who has been regarded and
often mentioned as very probable
and wall-qualified man for the great
office of President of the United
States. Democratic State Committee.

Tariff-Made Fortunes

The Philadelphia Record, discussing
the millions left by the late tin-plate
multi-millionaire w. B. Leeds, shows
how such fortunes are made by the
tariff, thus;
Under the democratic tariff of 1894
there WIS a duty too high, in fact) of
$50 ton on tinplate. But that was not
enough to crafty the greed of the COM
b.ai manufacturers AMI through their
representative and attorney in congress,
John Dllzell, they secured an increase
of 80 per cent, i'll tho duty in the
DinSlcy tariff. The tinplate assoca-
tiDn HAD sent out it's corruption agents
win abundant supplies of money to
defeat democratic members of congress
wle resisted its rapacious demands, and
IL claimed it's reward. For every article
the tinplate trust produces, including
the empty dinner pail, American con-
sumers must pay tribute to monopoly.
The duty is, in fact, prohibitory. Dur
ing the year 1907 the importations of
tinplate amounted to G4705 tons, or the
value Of 54,462,522 But all this goes
back under drawback of the duty as
covering of meats. oil, fish and other
American exports. Foreigners get the
benefit of the drawback, and American
consumers continue to pay an exorbtant
tribute t. the trust, one of the especial
favorites of republican legislation. Is
there any hope of a reduction of duty
on tinplate should a republican majority
be elected to tho next congress2 Not
the slightest"

The SAME ROOSEVELT

In weighing the various letters
written by President Roosevelt in the
interest of Taft, the heir to nv
policies" it is we'll enough to remember
that it is the same Roosevelt who in
vited Hartman to come to Washington
in the closing hours of the campaign
of 1904 to talk over conditions in New
York. Hartman was on the
ground and knew the political con
ditions and Roosevelt wished to consult
him. Following is the president s
invitation
Now. my dear sir, you and are
practical men, and you are on the
ground and know the conditions better
than do. If you think there is any
danger of your visit to me causing

The House Of Representatives today
adopted a sweeping resolution calling or
the Secretary Of the Interior for informa-

In connection with its consideration the

chair ruled that Mr.. Hefiin must coniine

the admonition. Mr. Helm continued his
remarks In a low tone of voice. SO low in

Majority Leader Payne crossed the

and took a seat directly in front of Mr.

BY this time the House was in complete
