OF his native state today, recounted to
the Kentucky Legislature the record
made by the democratic party in con-
gress
"We have absolutely kept faith with
tho people," he declared to the state
legislators. I'VE have redeemed or are
in process Of redeem.ng every promise
we made in order to win the elections"
Declaring that the tariff and the
S:cstion Of trust control will over
shadow all other issues Of the coming
presidential campaign Speaker Clark
said:
1T has been given out in q manner
that seemed authoritative that fres!-
dent Taft proposes to veto any tariff
bills that we pass. We welcome the
issue. We do not believe it can be
postponed, minimized or shuEted out
Of the way,
"The present tariff law raises about
$33O,OoO, 600 a year. 1t is estimated
that every time one dollar goes into
Uncle Sans Golfers under the high
protective tariff system about five dol
lars 20 into the pockets of the tar!ff
barons This being true then the high
protective tariff costs the people Of this
country a billion and a half yearly. 1t
Is a gross outrage and cruelty on the
tax payers.
Taking up the proposition OF party
and popular progrcssiveness Mr.. clark
declared the only way to achieve pro-
eress is at the hands Of the democrats
He said progressives in the republican
party would enact remedial Legislation
II they could hut that ''standpattefs are
In the majority In that party and II
looks as; IL they would continue to DOM
mate it indefinitely
Mr.. Clark rss,id that on the strength
of this condition he hoped for inde-
pendent support Of democratic chndi-
dates this year.
Mr.. Clark declares the republicans
viii. undoubtedly attempt to beios M
perytlirs issues and lure us away from
the tariff and the trust questions be-
cause they realize that on these issues
We will defeat them most decis!Ve!y
,rhe battle of tariff reform and the
co,,tro, OF the trusts ne said, must be
fought to q finish.
"And on these questions. ne SAID
we are undoubtedly in the right.
