Senator McCun,ber stated that he Yves
going to talk straight Republicansm;'
Republcanism as We had learned It from
the lips Of Lincoln, from the sword OF
Grant; and from such men as Garfield,
Mckinley and others. He stated that II

to go down with it, but nredicted that as
sure as the sun shines in the heavens
it would rise again within few short
years and once more ride the political
pirates off the political seas.
He referred briefly to the republican
platform, speaking Of it in terms OF
praise and remarking that it was the
same platform which Theodore Roose
Welt would have made a campaign for
the presidency had he been nominated
at the Chicago convention.
Realizing that the presidents attitude
on reciprocity with Canada was Of great
interest to the North Dakota voters, the
Senator devoted considerable time to g
brief discussion Of the Republican party
and reciprocity.
II think President Taft made mis-
take in his support Of Canadian recipro

the president was honest and sincere
He inheritd that attitude toward recipro
city from Roosevelt and Mckinley. anc
I believe he now sees 1t was a mistake
but he is not the political trimmer and

protection upon any Of the necessities of

However, President Taft abandoned
reciprocity. 1t is dead issue. The re-

if we are sincere in our opposition to re-
ciprocity, We are bound to support Mr..
Taft and the republican administration.
1.-THE tariff is the real issue Of this
campaign" continued Senator McCum-
Der. Upon our theory Of protective tarifr
the republican arty must rise or fall.
The democratic platform on the tariff il
almost the same, word for word, az 1t
was in 1893 and it Is far more danger
GUS to the country today than it was 10
years ago. The country started out un-
der the banner Of protection and its per-
iods Of prosperity have been under those
administrations which believed In protee-
tive tariff
Senator McCumber dwelt briefly dn the
difference in prices under protective
tariff administration and one which was
based on tariff for revenue only, using
figures which showed the comparative
purchasing power under the Mckinley
tariff law and the Wison-Gorman law.
THE number of bushels Of corn that
would sell for 500 under the Mckinley
law sold for $500 under the WILSON,
German law. The same number of bush
els of corn that sold for 800 Under the
Wilson German law sold for $171 under
the Dingley law. A horse which SOLD
for $1uu during the Mckinley law sold
for $50 under the Wilson-Gorman law
and the horse that sold for 500 under
the Wilson law sold for SILT under the
Dingley law
The senator continued at length, show
in gthe advantages Of the protective tar
if. Before concluding his speech he went
into bitter arraignment OF hero wor-
ship" pointing out Its evils and its
grave dangers to the life Of the repup-
lie. He dwelt at some length upon var
ious planks in the Progressive platform
especially the recall Of judicial decisions
and the minimum vase scale.

In what was probably the hardest
Devils Lake, the local high school grid
iron warriors lost to the Lakota high
school team yesterday afternoon by a
score of IA to 10.
The local team was outweighed, better
than ten pounds to the man, but put up
a plucky contest and succeeded in
scoring two touchdowns Dung the last
half. losing the game by only the fall
ure to kick goal.
The first touchdown for Lakota was
made after continual plugging against
the local lighter line for short gains
until the ball was carried within ten
yards Of the "oal line, the next down
being over for touchdown. The second
touchdown was made after a we'll ex-
ecuted forward pass.
The forward pass was the long suit
of the Devils Lake team and both touch
downs resulted from the proper use OF
the MAY, Goldberg scoring the first a.
Elmslie the second. The fighting spirit
Of the locals after two +ouchdowns by
Lakota Is indeed praiseworthy, espe-
cially since they came within one of
tieing the score The unfortunate part
of the game was fumb1ing by the locals
when they were within yard of the
goal line, this occurring three times.

ton puts it. The Lawton citizen waA
in the city today en- route to Churchs
Ferry to enjoy hunt accompanied by
his father and Senator Jerry Stevens of
Grand + orks.
According to Mr.. Zeeman, President
Taft will carry Ramsey county, the en-
tire state ticket is sure and the county
ticket has clear sailing. Jerry Stevens
while he did not say much about the
county affairs was convinced that Taft
was gaining strength and sure that the
state ticket would be elected from top to
bottom.
From every corner of the county
comes good reports of strength for the
| republican cause. The greatest vote ever
polled in Ramsey county was antici-
pated and in that event the Republican
cause is sure.
Judge Cowan will get a solid vote at
Lawton according to Mr.. Zeeman, and
he will do equally as well at several
| other places which he. has visited. The
greatest victory ever recorded in Ram
scy county is anticipated.
