not deal with the vital issues before
the people.
''The high cost of living is the burn
ing issue of the hour said Governor

his mind. ''At its heart lies the high
protective tariff. A great many of
the trust problems of the time are the
outgTowth Of the tariff. Take up the
tariff and you must consequently take
up the trust problem. These nre SO

coat and go TO the mat with Mt. Roose-

"In addition to arranging for the
notification I come to tell Governor
Wilson I intended to enter heart and
soul into the campaign and that be-
lieved every other progressive in the
nation would do the same,''
"What do you think Of the third
party movements'
