today to crowd that me. his train
here to listen to the second speech
of his present campaign tour.
1T is' yelled man on the station
platform.
"They say you are against me,
continued the president, because I
was in favor of reciprocity. Well, /
was. / was in favor of reciprocity
because / believed it to be for the
good of the farmers and every other
class. 1t would be greatly to the
benefit of the farmers, but the thing
is dead.
Nov, what l want to say to you,
you are utterly illogical in opposing
me on account of reciprocity when
the fact is that before I entered into
reciprocity at all I wrote to Theodore
Roosevelt and consulted with him
about it and told him all the argu-
ments both ways. He commended ne
most highly for going into the busi-
ness and approved it in every way.
Now that he finds reciprocity is not
popular with the farmers, he re-
cants and says that-well he has
changed his mind about it."
