DEMOCRATS HIT
AT HIGH TARIFF
Congressman Townsend and
Mccoy Talk to Factory
Employees.
TAFT AND ROOSEVELT
TARGET FOR SPEAKERS
No Relief Can Be Obtained from
Other Parties, They
Say.

Men in the employ of the Westing-
house Electric and Manufacturing
Company were addressed by Con-
gressmen Walter I. Mccoy and Ed
ward w. Townsend and Joseph Nc
at oon today.
Two years ago we spoke to you
and you believed our promises and
elected us to Congress-" said Mr.. Nc
Coy. I'VE tried to keep our prom
Uses and reduce the cost of living.
The tariff was the issue then and is
now. We are paying more for what
we eat and what we wear than
ever.
we tried to reduce the cost of liv.
ing with the Democratic House, but
the Republican Senate and President
Taft did o back us. The Senate
refused to pass the bills which were
important to you and me, and wheir
they did pass several President Taft
vetoed them. If the tariff bills were
passed that we voted for the peo-
pie would have been saved SAB, 600, :
900. If you elect us a Democratic
Senate and Democratic President we
will put those bills on the books.
1--WE would have saved $210. 00o. 900
on cotton goods. The present duty
collected on cotton goods is $4,000, :
900. Take eleven yards of dress
goods in the United States that cost
s1.0G, in England Il cost $1.111. 1t
sells in England for $1.S7 and here
for $2.75. If Taft Is reelected 1t will
be the same old thing, and IL Roose-
welt is elected it will be the same.
Number of Trusts Increases.
when Roosevelt went TO the White
House there were 149 trusts, and
when he went out there were 1,O2o
! He refused to prosecute the Har-
voster Trust, and Sugar Trust. All
he did was to send a message to
Congress asking that coal be put on
the free list, but 1t was always on
the free list. He favored a eduction
O ftariff, but he had the special in
terest interfere and had a number Oh
the standard members o fCongress
send him a message not to have II
reduced. Don't be fooled by this tree

eve have two opponents and boil
believe in continuing to tax all TN
people so that a few people can grow

Townsend. 1--WE want to reduce TN

ing. There's one bill Congressman
Mccoy failed to mention that W.
Democrats passed-the farmers ire
iii. II admitted free to this countr
such products as beef, ham, lamb
mutton. bacon, butter, cheese ane

dueed IS per cent.
Take Tax on Necessities.

MIR. McDonough declared that ne
would conduct a business admins
tration and sounded some praise fol
his opponents. my opponents are
both good men and have a right To
run. but it isn't very often that a
w~orkingman is nominated for such an
important office" The candidate
