WILSON PROGRESSIVE, BUT SAFE.

WILSON PROGRESSIVE, BUT SAFE.
Gov Wilson has quieted the fears
Of the business interests that the
tariff may be reduced too suddenly in
the event Of Democratic success N
November
GOV. Wilson recently had q confer
ence with Congressman Redfield OF
New York, who has made some OF the
most sensible tariff speeches ever
heard in congress, and 1t was agreed
between them that the proper and safe
thing to do with regard to the tariff
is to cut down gradually until the pl D.
er level is reached. In that way It will
be easy to ascertain just what effect
each successive cut has on price con
ditions and wages Thus by easy
stages the tariff for private profit can
be turned into tariff for revenue, and
this process is sure to result in re
lnctlon in the cost Of living.
GOV. Wilson is not anxious to lnjurt
any mans business. He win insist
however, in the event of his election
that all business be legitimate, ant
that false foundation be taken from
under the tariff trusts. But he viii
make Il a gradual process, and on
that VIII not disturb either business
or the country in general.

In the third congressional district
r. I. Daniel Of Tulsa was nominated
for congress on the Republican ticket
over james Dennis Flynn Of Sapulpa.

Flynn's friends are claiming that Dan

that while he has made oath that his
expenses in the campaign came with

exceeded the amount allowed by law.
A petition is now being prepared 70
have him ousted after be is elected,

But, wait a moment,
How in the name Of all that is sensl-
Bile do they expect to elect Daniel in
the third district over Jim Davenport
the Democratic nominee, who has
twice been sent to congress from that
district and who has steadily and con
sistently grown stronger with the peo
pie Of his district.

ton that should the sport be taken
away from Newport It would disin-
tegrate and that shortly the ''only alb
solutely amateur sport In Amerfcs

In voicing bis opposition to the re-
movaf OF the tournament from Newport
Mr.. Hoskns intimated that any such
removal would cheaper the sport and
he explained that this statement ap-
piled just as well to New York or any
other city as to Philadeipnia.
1.-THE change OF place for the tour
nament would be absolutely wrong"
said Mr.. Hosktns. Lawn tennis II
the only genuinely amateur sport in
America. It's position - such should
be maintained At all hazards, and
everything which would tend to lower

Mr.. Hoskins also advocated New
