 Upon this matter kr. ROossveIf's rec ord is not much better than that of MT. Taft, nor 1s his present position on the tarfff much more prOmdSang than that of the president The agftac1ou for reform began while President Nc Kinley was still in office and had then reached such proportions that the cOun- try in general approved of the ad- Vanced position which Mckinley took fn his Buffalo speech. It increased steadily during the seven and a half years in which Roosevelt was prssi- dent, but he made no attempt to give the people any relief from taFfR exae- lions. He does not now offer any den- mite tariff program These things lead me to believe that his election now. like the reelection of Taft, would mean four years more of tariff agitation With Wilson elected one may reason ably expect a satisfactory solution of the tarfn question His expressions on this matter show a full conception of the country wide demand for tar fir reform, a thorough knoWledRs of the ways in which tariff laws are made and a determination to secure co pEomptly as possible the much needed legislation. At the same time Cover nor Wilson has shown that he rocOg- xfzes as a fact the tntimats relation which tariff has been made to have to the structure of business in this coun- try and that be would keep this fact fin mind in handling taF1n leGfslatioA

FIRST THINGS

The first regular meeting of the Society of Tammany, OF Columbian Or der, was held in New York, in which city it is now great political power, on this date in 1789. The order was formed to oppose the alleged aristo- cratic and royalist tendencies of the Society of the Cincinnati. It's name was derived from a famous Indian chief named Tammany, who had been Ognized the regular Democratic or United States by the so1odiers of the revolution. The society was at first purely social, but about ten years af- ter it's organization 1t entered politics, and in time Ta1nmany came to be rec ognizzed as the regular Democratic or ganization of; New York City. Strictly speaking the Society of Tammany re mains distinct from the Tammany po- litical organization, the former being still in name, a benevolent body, while the organization is strictly political.

 To the Merchants and Business Men
 of the United States:
 John Wanamaker's appeal to you in the New York Herald of Oct. {, calling for a continent wide rally to the sup port of MT. Taft on the part of the merchants and business men of the country, has no doubt received your serious attention. It has seemed to me that those of US in business who believe Mir. Wanamaker's position is mistaken should make known our po- sitfons and the reasons for our firm belief that the business of the country will be best served by the election of Governor Wilson to the presidency.
 There Is every reason to believe that we are on the eve of abundant pros perity. and in my opinion one thing likely to prevent the setting in of such q period would be, the reelection of President Taft and the one thing that would make prosperity most certain would be the election of Governor VII son. This opinion is based upon my belief that for the business world noth- ing else is so important as stability
 Stability is impossible with MT. Taft as president; there has been no feeling of stability during his administration. It is not that the president is dis turber of conditions or that he is not sufficiently careful of the business in terests of the country. The absence of any feeling of stability during the Taft administration has heep and is due to widespread belief that there are certain reforms which the great body of people want and that the gen. eral feeling of unrest will not material Iy lessen until these reforms are ac- compliShed.
 President Taft's reelection would not create any feeling of assurance that there would be a satisfactory so- lution of the tariff question By a sat isfactory solution I mean a removal of unjust and unnecessary taxation.
 Entirely apart from his veto of tar if legislation the mere fact that the
