First, get ready for tariff reform"

reform the tariff Don't waste breath
about what you want TO do until you
can do it,"
Can there be a more sensible view
of the matter?
Can there be a more sincere stand
for tariff reform?
Can there remain any doubt that
Governor Wilson declines to discuss
the tariff. when he has discussed 1t so
often. always concluding the discus
sion with what is really the central
plank in his platform-"Regain con-

OF the hands OF the few.
Can there be any credence given the

Is afraid TO discuss the tariff because
of possible objection from New Jersey
and Pennsylvania when all the lntelli-
gent and informed world knows that
Governor Wilson was elected governor
of New Jersey upon platform or pop
ular control, which opposed all OF the
protective tariff interests to him, and
which brought down upon his head
their severest attacks throughout the
campaign-and which. notwithstand-

than 10000 majority?
Again, neighbor. does not Governor
Wilson know the tariff? Is he not
Democratic in his views upon 1t? Is
he not common-sense in his argument
to support those views?
And above all, Is he not eminently
right in his stand that the tariff can

GOV. WILSON AND THE TARIFF

Driven from pillar TO post, and back
to. pillar and then TO post again, Con
gressman Underwood's hackers In
Georgia have abandoned sectional
sentiment, the neighboring son idea,
the south for a southerner slogan, and
the attempted infusion of state fac'
tional issues and have focused their
attacks upon Governor woodrow VIII
sons attitude toward the tarin ques'
ton.
What. ho!" they have bawled the
word afield. Eat him on the tarln!
At HIM"
They have made great capital of one
sentence in his Atlanta why
discuss the tariff f?"-and have ignored
its context so as to make 1t, stripped
bare, serve their own purposes.
Now they offer the absurd surmise
impregnated with fine irony, that per
haps Governor Wilson declines to dis
cuss the tariff because the discussion
might be distasteful in his own state
New Jersey, and in Pennsylvania.
Ii is a montebank campaign, this
a campaign of canard and buncombe
with Governor Wilson the object ol
attack from every hole and fence-cor
ner and from behind every rock and
tree.
What more ridiculous, for instance
than TO declare that Governor Wilson
declines to make his tariff position
clear?J
Has>he not done so repeatedly? Has
he not declared, in plain words, tha;
he is a Democrat and a believer In
tariff for revenue only? Has he not
commended the Democratic congress

for what IL has attempted-but failed,
because of Senator Aldrich and Presi-

patters-to do? Has he not asserted
so unequivocally that no man could
fail TO understand him, that the old
arguments which applied to the tariff
couple of generations ago and made
It protective in policy, are antiquated
because modern conditions have en-
tirely altered all the premises OF it?
Has he not, time and again, detailed
his position regarding the tariff, and
given the reasons for that position and
shown how sound and Democratic IL
Georgia, made his attitude clear in
more than one Of his speeches?
But has ne ever contended that he,
Woodrow Wilson, one OF the candi-
dates for the Democratic nomination,
has a monopoly of tariff argument7
Has he ever claimed to be the originat-
or OF Democratic principles on this
question?
Has he not specifically declared that
no one man has all the tariff remedies
up his sleeve-that II is question
which must be worked out by all of
Democracy's best minds in conference7 ?
And has he not maintained that be-
fore the tariff or any other question
can be settled, the people must regain
control Of their own machinery of gov
