Outside Point of View


views must admit the democrats in
Washington are playing good politics
these days. 1t goes without saying
that the country was dissatisfied with
the tariff bill as forced thru congress
by Aldrich, Cannon. Taft and Com
pany. Therefore, we the great demo-
cratic party, are once more in power
in the house. Therefore, the said demo-
crats-President Taft having seen a
great light and offering the people
will pass favorably upon it even II 1t is
republican measure. because the dear
people, our masters, want it. But some
Of our constituents are farmers, horny
handed sons Of toll. so to speak. We
have offered the laboring man, the
wage Garner a chance to get from Can
ada some cheaper food products. But
this pinches in the farmers shoes. II
the laboring man buys oh eaper food 1t
| is logical that our farm ers-having
several votes-must necessarily sell
their products cheaper to compete with
what the Canadian farmer sells our
esteemed lahoring man. Therefore.
| once more. We will now introduce to
our favorable notice "a farmers bill"
Mr.. Taft forgot to put in his treaty a
few things that our farmers wanted
| admitted free. Here's a bill that fixes
| that up o. X. We democrats will give
| you anything free you ask for. Only
just mention 1t to Mr.. Champ Clark and
Well attend to it at once. And we
democrats will attend to that Lorirner
case. We simply can't stand the stencil.
And in a few days Well fix up that
direct vote Of the people for United
States senator. Give US a little time
! Wen do all OF these things and more
before the next presidential election.
Incidentally, please do not forget the
| great democratic party when you cast
| your vote next time.
! It's great thing to be democratic
congressman these days, but it IL
| hard road to travel to be a republican
congressman just now. Our Iowa dele
cation is progressive. we'll, should say
SO. Believe in reciprocity? VIII cat
drink milk? But Tafts reciprocity is
jug handled affair. My farmers, my
| constituents must be protected. Look at
the sad case Of Congressman Pickett.
Lots Of farmers voted for Pickett. But
up there in Waterloo they make few
cream separators. Taft says when the
| Canadians admit free OF dusy those
Waterloo separators. Wen let in some
| of your truck free. Bully says Pickett,
! Waterloo must and shall be protected.
| Observe there's several votes in
| Waterloo. But Taft seems to get all
mixed up Taft says We'll do this for
the Waterloo separators, but butter,
cheese, and fresh milk and cream shall
be exempt from duty, etc. That will
kill our dairy business. How can I
support Taft's reciprocity treaty..
Let's see, have more constituents in
Waterloo or on the farms Of Iowa?
Pickett's young He can stand grief.
But how about Cummins? All Of his
political life he has stood for recipro-
city OF the right kind. Tafts recipro-
city is a jug handled affair. Iowa Is
an agricultural state. This treaty is
all in the interests of the eastern man
| ufacturer. Down with it. Iowa will
live when confronted with the competi-
| tons OF the cheap lands Of Canada. But
Mr.. Cummins, says Mr.. Champ Clark,
we democrats will attend to that mis-
take of your president. Gaze upon this
little farmers bill. We are looking out
| for the interests OF the dear farmers.
Those things Br. TAFT forgot to put in
! the treaty we will, pass a law and
amend your ungracious tariff BILL You
win vote for such a bill, Mr.. Cummins.

But If I do those standpatters will
say we always knew he was a. demo-
crat and here's the proof Of 1t. Act
ually voted for a bill the democrats
prepared.

Iowa delegation in congress were In the
same boat with Senator Cumnnins.
