l stand against 1t now" he declared.
He said he long had advocated a
tariff commission clothed with au.
thority to obtain accurate information
az to the cost OF production In this
country and abroad. SO that a protec.
lean w~orkingmen could be intelligent

was carried. but there was a chorus Of
Noes from different parts OF the

The attitude toward the tariff ques
tion is expressed In the following par
agraph In the platform:
We believe in q protective tariff
measured by the difference between
the cost OF production here and
abroad. Less han this Is unjust Il
American laborers: more is unjust Il
American consumers. That difference
should be ascertained with the ut
most speed. and the present law modi
fed accordingly"

Washington, ID. c. - President Tai
has cancelled his engagement to visit
Indianapolis on May 5.
While no statement has been ISSUED
in regard to this decision, 1t is be
liesed to be the direct result OF events
at the Indiana state Republican con
yention when the Payne-Aldrich tarif
law was ignored.
II Is not even admitted at the White
House that the president had a definit,
engagement TO visit Indianapolis. al
though dispatches from the city sew

would be there on May s.
In view of the circumstances sur
rounding the convention OF the Indiana
Republicans IL was said by friends o.

No matter what Senator Beyeridge'i
attitude toward the administration
may be--and the president told sew
eral OF his callers that he had M
doubt In his own mind on that sub
tect-he did not care to be drawn in
TO the Indiana fight In any way. Tn.
