friends had carried out the Repuoii-
can pledge OF two years ago, and re-
duced the cost OF living by an honest
revision downward. the tarin would
not be an Issue In this campaign.
While independent or so-called 1nsur-
gent Republicans In congress. who re-
fused to betray the American people,
were being read out Of the party, and
the federal patronage was being taken
from them, the Detroit congressman
was basking in the smiles OF Cannon

tortion.
"The new tariff law. of which my
friend boasts, should have been en-
titled, An act 10 rob the American
consumer" instead Of An act to pro-

the tariff on tomb stones?
These things will keep you busy
for awhile, without trying to put your

kude before the people of this district.
