Maintains That Revision Nust Bs

Congress for Rsvizing Bills

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. Sept H.
A detailed defense Of his vetoea Of
the Democratic tariff bills was deliver
cd here today by President Taft, on
the Last day OF his visit 70 Michigan.
The president rested his entire caso
on the foundation that his adminis.
tration 10 committed to the Revision
Of the tariff scientifically through the
tariff board. He criticized the
methods Of congress in framing the
bills revising the wool bill, making
additions to the free list and revising
the cotton schedule. To prove that
the Republican party IL committed 10
the tariff board policy. the president
reviewed the history Of the movement
TOR tarin board. He quoted clauses
indorsing the policy from the Repub-
lican state convention OF Ohio. New
York. Wisconsin, Iowa and Kansas.
the very states whose insurgent rep.
resentatives voted for the tariff bills.
The measure, the president deciar-
cd, did not represent q proper measure
OF protection OF the industries Affected.
and were therefore not good Republi-
can fegislation.
IF had allowed the wool bill "a
become q law" he said, .Tho pro.
gress made toward q better method
Of revising the tariff would have beer
entirely lost and the policy throws
to the winds"
The president also argued that the
hasty framing Of important tarif|
bills ut an extra session OF congress-
called for another purpose was un'
necessary az the tariff board had been
instructed to report particularly on
wool. In time for the action at the
regular session this winter.
In conclusion, the president defi'
antly outlined his tariff policy. and
declared that he would pursue that
policy at all hazards.
II insist he said. that we have
now reached q point when everyone
ought to realize that the tariff ought
not to be changed and business die

TORONTO, Ont, Sept. 21-The
fate of reciprocity and the Laurier
government hangs In the balance to-
day. General elections are taking
place throughout Canada. The rival
parties are making the usual claims,
but the indications. as the unprejudic-
ed size them up. are that the gov
ernment will be sustained, although
probably by somewhat reduced ma
jority. This would mean, OF course.
that parliament would be summoned
within q few weeks, the reciprocity
pact put through and be IN operation
before the snow flies.
The trade pact appeals to the farm
|ers, particularly those In western Can
ada. while the government forces adj
nit that they expect to get their
usual jolt In the cities.
Every city In Ontario, with the pos
sible exception of Hamilton, where
the Liberals have good chance CT
carrying one division, Ottawa and
Kingston are counted on to return
supporters for Borden, the Conserva-
tive leader, which means they are op-
posed to reciprocity. The Conseryac
tives are counting. too. on grabbing
some OF the rural constituencies In
Ontario away from the Liberals, while
the latter believe they will some
what improve their position in the
province. where they now hold only
36 seats TO the Conservatives SO.
In the maritime provinces Of Nova
Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince
Edward Island, there Is not likely to
be much change. The government
has a long lead there now, and there
seems no good reason why It shouldL t

Visit To Wolverine State From
Unbiased Point Of View.

CHICAGO. Sept 21.-Eastern and
northern Michigan gave President
Taft splendid demonstration. The
people turned out in hundreds OF
thousands TO see him. and men repre-
senting every section and every class
OF the community heard him speak,
says the Tribune's stan correspou
dent, who Is travelling with the presI-
dent.
All felt the influence OF his genial
personality-the spell OF the Taft
SMILE" They knew the purpose or
his visit was to secure approval Of
the policies he has pursued since Le
entered the White house and that
he desired their support for his re-
nomination and reelection.
Ihe president went from that sec
ton OF the, state, and there has set in
the reaction which crystallizes into
the sober second thought. people are
asking, did the president aid his own
cause by going there? Did the per.
sonal magnetism he radiates dlspel
the apathy many Republicans have
entertained toward the Republican
administration? Did 1t allay the bit
terness among the farmers caused b.

ment with Candaa?

All OF these men realize there is q
great. difference between people cheer
ing for q candidate for ONCE and vot-
Ing for him. They take pride In the
welcome given to the president of the
United States, but they are speculat-
ing as to whether Mr.. Taft gained In
popularity, whether he has modified
the current which every one admits
was sweeping against him. and wheth-
or, II this be the case, his strength
will grow and insure, Michigan remain-
ing next year in the Republican col
umn.
II is difficult for Republicans out
side OF Michigan believe their
party In the commonwealth is in
danger. They recall that the normal
Republican majority Is $4,000. and
that Roosevelt far exceeded this ma
jority. Yet II does not take more
than a casual inquiry. especially
among the farmers, to find situa-
ton unprecedented in the Wolverine
state.
Bitter over Reciprocity.
The farmers of eastern Michigan
and OF other sections, as expressed by
