WEST DEMANDS SQUARE DEAL
Great Section of the Country Looks
TO President Taft to Redeem
Party Pledges.

The Republican party would not
now be In power II the voters of the
west and middle west had not rallied
last November to Taft's support.
And why did many Of these western
states send Bryan to defeat for the
third time?
II was because the Republican,
party, through its convention plat
form, its campaign spokesman, and
through direct pledges from Taft him
self. promised that the burden of I'M
necessary tariff taxation should be
lifted from the VESTS shoulders,
President Taft knows that this is
the case. He knows what western SEN
timent is on genuine tariff revision
He knows also that 1t is this same
west that has come to the rescue OF
the Republican party in various ma.
tiunal crises.
Doubtless some of the snncr New
England senators know this also. The
grand dukes of the money power.
headed by Adrich, may know t. but
my hph NAlts All lUtH tSh - NHhA
the west shall continue helping to
vote the Republican party into power
The forcing of the wool schedule by
Aldrich in the face of the western
plea for revision, and despite Senator
Delivers expose of its dishonesty,
puts Aldrich in the position Of cndan'
gcring the Republican party.
II is to President Taft that western
consumers naturally turn for n
square deal" in this tariff crisis
They made him president And they
sincerely hope they will never have
occasion to regret 1t.
Political ideals are known in the
west. In other words, the west be.
lieves in broad fundamental policies
OF government. II is willing that New
England mill bosses should thrive, but
not at the expense OF the rest of the
nation
Give the west a Square deal"
President Taft.

1t has been estimated by experts
that the cost of living has advanced
about 40 per cent since the Dingley
tariff law went into effect. II must
be admitted too, that the standard
OF living has risen somewhat In the
same period II will also be admit.
ted that as & country prospers its
standard of living should advance.
Comforts, reCreationg and even lux.

incomes In n wholesome civilization.
But under recent conditions. the
cost OF living has advanced so rapid
ly that the poor and those of moderate
means have had to economic rather
than expand their scheme Of living.
While those who have prospered most
have enlarged their expenditures &C
cordingly the greater proportion OF
the population has found the margin
between the necessary cost OF living
and the slightly increased yearly in
corne much smaller than was the mar
gin between the smaller income of
the past and the lower cost Of Living
attending that income
1t Is this decreased margin that has
aroused the country and made insist.

as a wholesome check against the OK

No party has ever been strong
enough to resist such demand when
II has once become national voice
And no party ever will be strong
enough to stand out against such a
