TARIFF IS The
ISSUE SAYS TAFT
DECLARES THAT CAMPAIGN is
BETWEEN THE REPUBLI-
CANS AND DEMOCRATS.

Washington, D. c., Nov. AT the
white house yesterday a letter from
President Taft to Crawford Hill of
Denver, dealing with issues of the
campaign, was made public. Part of it
follows:
II am sure every man whose judg-
ment is not controlled by his prej,l'
dice now realizes that this is cam
paign between the republican and
democratic parties
at is apparent that the third party
movement has not gained Roadway
as a national force, and that again
the alternative is presented to the
American people either to support the
protective policy of the party in power
or to turn over the government TO
those who are committed to repeat
the experiment which resulted in a
commercial explosion when last it
was tried 1922
Refers to Sugar Industry.
The letter then refers to the i'm
portance of the beet sugar industry in
Colorado and declares the democratic
house recently passed bill to put
sugar on the free list, which the pres
ident vetoed.
Free sugar cannot be defended from
any angle" the letter asserts. 1T is
in conflict with the theory Of a tariff
for revenue only, and its effect would
be to make almost certain the mono.
polistic control of a great industry. 1t
would diminish the revenue Of the gov
eminent s53,O00,OOO annually, and, by
reducing the worlds production by
nearly 100000 tons year, raise the
Drice of sugar to the consumer"
Gives Views on Conservation.
Il In regard to conservation, which he
says is Subject in which Colorado
and neighboring states are interested"
the president says:

lieve in conservation policy which
would tie up our natural resources and
deny their use to the legitimate home.

provision in the Iowa commission plan
law, the name of Mrs. Margaret B.
Brown, nominated by the socialist par
ty at a mass meeting Sunday after
noon, will not appear on the ballot at
the city primary on March IL.
Section Of the commission plan
act provides that in the statement Of
candidacy, filed with the city clerk ten
days before the primary, the candidate
must swear that he is a qualified cleo
tor, and as Iowa as yet has not taken
an advanced step on the woman stuff
rage question, Mrs. Brown will not be
able to comply with this necessary
qualification.
Members of the socialist party, when
told of the provision in the law, an
noUnced that another meeting would
be held and the vacancy in the ticket
filled. Mrs. Browns name was placed
on the ticket because the socialist par
ty is on record in favor OF woman
suffrage.
In the eyes of Colonel Roosevelt, Mrs.
Brown would possess one shining quail

of a family Of ten children, all OF whom
are Of school age, She is the wife OF
