What the Question 10.
I'VE are trying to apply the rules
Of conduct that existed at the organ
ization OF the republican party" said
Mr.. Garfield, ito the conditions of to-
day. We are trying to show that the
republican party is as progressive as
at the time Of its creation. We are
not to content to rest upon the tradi-
tons of the republican party but
maintain that it has in it today all
the qualities of that time. Today the
attack Is as great as it was in 1856
or in 1860. and the declaration of Lin
coin that the nation could not exist
half slave and half free is as true in
reference to II being controlled half
by wealth and the other half not
controlled by wealth. There is no
middle ground The question is. how
shall we regain industrial freedom
and political freedom?"
Mr.. Garfield admitted that the party
has done what it should on the tariff
question. but that with the republi-
cans the tariff is constructive work
while with the democrats it is a de-
structive work He argued for a COM
mission. which he regards as the only
way to solve the problem and he gave
Senator Beveridge credit for original
ing this plan. He referred to the con-
servation of the natural resources of
the country and to the fight for bet
ter conditions for the child laborer,
in which Beverage has been one of
the main factors. He regards conserv-
alton as one of the greatest questions
before the country today and that the
democrats have nothing of equal i'm
portance to offer. The democrats
have no well considered plans: moth
ing but criticism. The republicans
realize their own mistakes and are
proposing to remedy them. He de-
clared that many of the leaders in the
republican party today will not be
the leaders in the future, but men will
be chosen who will carry out the par
ty promises. In view of this fact the
party has a right to ask a renewal of
the vote Of confidence that has been
given it SO frequently.
Indiana Situation.
Mr.. Garfield took up the charge that
the party is not consistent that it is
advocating one thing in one state and
another thing in another state. He
would meet this condition by using
the implements that are at hand as
far as possible. He would not COM
promise on any principle that is funda-
mental. but he would not refuse to
take advantage of what is available
because all cannot be secured at once
that is desired.
The Indiana situation Mr. Garfield
declared to be of special interest and
to be attracting the attention of the
entire nation. This is largely true be-
cause the republican candidate for
the United States senate, Mr.. Bever-
idge, is one of the great leaders of the
party and his return means much to
the country at large; his defeat means
set back to progressive politics. He
advised the voters against trying to
work out personal animosities. Bev-
eridge he declared to be one of the
most fearless and progressive leaders
in congress today. This must be ac-
