cratic platform.
Members of the Ways and Means Com
mittee of the House were fully satisfied
with the way Gov. Wilson dealt with the
tariff and with the Importance he laid
on that issue.
Il was interested particularly in Gov
Wilson's treatment of the tariff issue"
said Representative Francis Burton Har-
rison of New York. His utterances on
this topic were sound and very strong.
His appreciation Of the moral side of
the question. the moral effect upon the
community of seeing the government in
partnership with big business interests
impressed me most favoTably.
Gov. Wilson's speech of acceptance
yesterday showed that he appreciates
the relative Importance of the tariff is
sue; that II will be the biggest issue of
the campaign. The fact that he devoted
so large part of his speech to the sub
ject demonstrates that clearly. In his
speech and in previous speeches l have
heard him make. he has shown a thor
ough working knowledge of the sub
ject."
