Bristow Punctures Taft's
Argument Full Of Holes

SALIVA, Kas, Aug. 30.-Repiying
to President Taft's speech at Hamil-
ton. Mass, last Saturday, Senator
Bristow. (Repn., Kas.), today, issued
the following statement:
~ JosEh /. 6RlsToW.
Heretofore our presidents when
visiting the people, have realized the
dignity OF the great once they hold
and abstained from making offensive
|polfticai speeches. They have not In
dulged In cheap political arguments
common to professional campaign
stump speakers. Mr.. Taft praises the
Democrats In congress for aiding him
In practically placing upon the free
list the agricultural products, but crit.
icises them severely when they I'M
dertake to reduce the excessive du-
ties on manufactured products. It Ia
commendable In the Democrats, &C.
cording to the president, to aid him
In taking from the farmer the bene-
AZ OF the protective tarin and discfed.
table In them when they undertook
to reduce the excessive duties on
trust-controlled products. sit
As to the wool BILL, Mr.. LaFollette
was a mcmber or the committee on
ways and means In the house that
framed the Mckinley tariff bill. Sem
ator Dolliyer was a member of the
committee of ways and means OF the
house and helped frame the Dingley
bill. He and LaFollette, In 1909,
spent months together working on the
wooden and cotton schedules when
the Payne-Aldrich tariff was before the
senate. Their speeches on that bill
showed a most thorough and accur.
ate knowledge OF the subject
LaFollette, aided by the ablest ex.
perts In the country, spent months
in the preparation of the LaFollette
wool bill, and It is no exaggeration
to say there was probably more thor
ough and painstaldng work expend-
ed in the preparation of that bill than
has ever been expended on any sim
gle tariff schedule. Everybody who
knows LaFollette knows him to be
man OF great thoroughness, who
goes most deliberately into every de-
tail Of the legislation he proposes.
For Mr.. Taft, whose superficial knowl-
edge of the tariff is well known TO
all, to criticise I.aFollette and state
that his bill was prepared lin ignor-
ance" is 1udicrous I'm the extreme.
The presidents effort TO use the tar.
IN board to prevent the reduction OF
exorbitant duties demonstrates that
the country needs tariff commits
sion, the work OF which will not be
subject to the caprice or partisan
president, but whose business shall
be to report annually to congress It's
investigations--a commission equal in
dignity to the Interstate commerce
commission.
The president was eager TO put the
products of the American farm upon
the free lists and would not wait for
the report of his tariff board. The
reciprocity bill, introduced and pass
ed congress months before the tariff
board made any report upon the du-
ties involved In II. But when II is
proposed to reduce duties on the pro-
ducts Of the manufacturers, he then
uses the tariff board as buffer to
prevent such reductions. From Mr.,
Taft's speech IL clearly appears that
he Is In favor OF free trade for the
farmer and high protection for the
manufacturer. 7 do not agree to that
new tariff doctrine"

Under cross-examination, she adj

Chief Counsel Smith, for the de-

An officer was dispatched to Rich

Wendenburg then called Detective

years ago we had no means Of obtain

Not much progress was made with
