A soft pedal platform is not bad
name for the variety of "planks" put
together representing that, for which
Minnesota democracy stands. It's a
handicap for every democratic nomi-
nee, and only one man in, the lot is
wise enough to keep out of the race.

CANADIANS ASK
TARIFF CHANCES
Premier Bon1barded by Sas-
katcheWan Farmers.
SAYS HE fAV0RS REVISION.

Laurier Promises Gradual Reduction
of Duties, but Declares Free Trade
IS lmpossible-Als Advocates Reel
procity With the United States If
Fair Treatment Is Offered Canada.
Regina, Sask., Aug. 3.-All over the
west Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Domin.
ION premier, is being met in his tour
by farmers making demands for re-
sductlon OF tariff, especially on farm
implements from the United States.
Ih1s fact seems to be especially
prominent In the demands of the
Grain Growers association. Promi.
neht Liberals tell Laurier boldly that
no member of parliament will be re-
turned from the West until he makes
concessions on the tariff. At Regina
IN reply to these demands, Sir. Will
frid said:
i recognize that it would be- impos-
sible at one full sweep to dispose of
the tariff. Changes must be gradual.
II you tried to abolish it at once, how
ever oppressive it might be, the result
would be to create such disturbance
in financial matters as to bring prob
ably financial crisis. 1t must be rec
ognized by the strongest free traders
that in this country in our present de-.
velopment it is not possible for US to
have free trade as in Great Britain.
1t would not be possible for us to
raise our revenue with direct taxation
If we did the first party to suffer
would be the settlers, and the first
goal to be set before us is the settle
ment Of these enormous prairies."
Sir Wilfrid promised gradual reduc-
ton of tariff. He favored reciprocity
with the United States. if fair treat
ment was offered to Canada.

Dental Campaign.
Chicago. Aug. 2.-Urey Woodson of
Kentucky, secretary of the Democratic
national committee, has come to town
with lot of renovated ideas of how
the Democrats are going to sweep the
country this fall and finish up the job
two years hence.
Mr. Woodson does not think it pos
sible for the Democrats to commit
follies enough in the intervening two
years'to lose the presidential election.
The national secretary has been in
Kansas and Iowa.
The one definite piece of news Mr.
Woodson brought with him from the
sizzling West was that William J.
Bryan will not be candidate in 1912
"The recent doings in the Nebraska
state convention had nothing to do
with Mr.. Bryan's determination not to
seek a fourth nomination." said Mr..
Woodson, who has been staunch sup
porter and lifelong friend of the Ne
braskan. "Mr Bryan had made up his
mind before he entered the local op-
ton fight in his home state"
