THEY GOTTA QUIT KNocKIN THE TARIFF DOWN

Statesmen, when they get town, Start kickin the Tariff round; They're runnin it way into ground; They gotta quit knockin' the Tariff down. They knock, and knock, and knock it round Ad valorem and by the pound; Makes diffrunce tho sound They gotta quit knockin' Tariff down. Business they tryn' to drown, With lies and arguments unsound The Tariff gives huff 10 go round; They gotta quit knockn' the Tariff down. Traitors to American ground, Who treat their best like hound Will get theirs in the rebound; They'd better quit knockin the Tariff down.

much for him to work of this sort Of
stuff at Oyster Bay, as quoted by the
correspondent Of the New York Sun Of
Friday:
Colonel Roosevelt went over New
England on paper today with Judge
Charles H. Thompson Of Vermont,
who Is the head OF the third party
movement in that section, and was
convinced by his lieutenant that his
strength there was even greater
than it was at the end Of the pri-
mary campaign In Vermont par
ticularly the colonel was encouraged
by reported conditions. There accord
ing to Judge Thompson, 10000 Re-
publican votes are nominally polled
and out of that number he had al
ready tabulated at least $4,000 which
would be cast for the third term
candidate"

OF affairs in Vermont, including the fact
that his former manager has Joined the
