This might be considered an argu-

Even then Il would be a lame apology.

a Republican president would not play

Tariff Eiah, cIearI. pehned

President Taft has forced the tariff
issue between the two great parties
to the line from which there is no re-
eeding. The twilight zone between
the Democratic party and the Repub-
lean party on that question has dis
appeared By his speech at wirona
the Official leader and spokesman of
the Republican party notified the Re
publican tariff reformers Of the north
vest and the middle west that the
party has nothing for them.
The Democratic party is the only
agency through which they can get
what they want The president has
destroyed the usefulness OF Republi-
can tariff reform delegations in con
gress- He has pointed Chairman Llyod
and the Democratic congressional cam
paign committee TO the ground on
which the great tariff battle of next
year is 20 be fought
