lican concerning Roosevelts attitude toward reciprocity:
Mr. W. r. Ronald,
Mitchell, South Dakota.
Dear MI. Ronald
In accordance with a telegram just received from Hon.
Clifford Pinchot, we arc sending you by American Express,
today, 200 copies of my speech seconding Roosevelts nom
nation, on behalf of the farmers of America. am. astonished
by MI. Pinchots report that Roosevelts attitude on the Reel
the only candidate in the field who stands for the farmers
rights. and for a square deal to the farmer. 1t is outrageous
that his position should be so misrepresented and libeled.
Please read my address carefully, because tell the whole story
therein, although, of course, it is abbreviated. know where
OF speak, tor have been credited with being, in the langu-
age OF the street, The guy who put the at into Recip lat no
city and know that there is n o truer champion of farmers
against the Taft Pact than is Theodore Roosevelt. call at
tention especially to the fact that his attitude has been consist
ent all through, and that he has not changed his position in
that regard since he became a candidate; in fact his position
has been true to the farmers all through his life: he w "a simply
deceived by Taft until called his attention to that deception,
in my letter in mid February, 1911. to which he replied Feb
ruary Il (se pages IA and 5 of the speech).
Yours truly,
Dictated by: PVC P. Collins.
In the letter referred to in the last lines of Mr.. Collins
letter, above, Col. Roosevelt said:-
In any future attempt, by reciprocity treaty or other
be no discrimination against the farmer, no effort to make him
pay the entire burden of reduction. His interests must be CON
idered WITT the same are that is given to the consideration
OF the interests of other American citizens. The welfare of
the farmer. like the welfare of the wageworker, is vital to our
general welfare and no tariff system is proper that does not
recognize as a fundamental necessity the need of caring for
the welfare of both the wageworker and farmer"
Illus it is shown that Roosevelt is the ONLY one of the
presidential candidates who has EVER gone on record against
ne discrimination against the farmer in the Canadian Recipro-
city Treaty. Taft favored it and favors it now; Wilson favor
ed 1t and favors 1t now. he democratic members of congress
passed it in the first place and the democrats in the House re-
fused four times in the last session to repeal it. 20,
