somewhat marred by the sudden illness

CAN SPEAK FOR HIMSELF.

Colonel Roosevelt complains that
Woodrow Wilson is free trader. The
colonel was once a most active mem
Der of a free trade club, but perhaps
that doesn't matter. II is in order,
however, 70 get Woodrow Wilson set
before the people Just as he is on tb.-
question.
Erman ]. Ridgway wrote up the
candidates for president in Every
body's Magazine for May. In that
article he quotes Mr.. Wilson as say
ing this about the way TO handle the
tariff question:
We are 70 act upon the fundamental
principle Of the democratic party; not
free trade, but tariff for revenue. And
We have got TO approach that by such
avenues, by such stages, and at such
pace as will be consistent with the
stability and safety OF the business
Of the country"
II you are interested in this tariff
question II will be well TO scrutinize
that statement attributed to Woodrow
Wilson. The more you study 1t the
surer you will become that he Is a
man who recognizes the bigness Of the
question and its many ramifcations.
II you wish to learn how Woodrow
Wilson stands on the tariff you will
do well to take him for It, rather than
TO take the colonel's view Of Wilson.
Wilson is quite well able TO speak
for himself
