sang a Haussling campaign song,
which made a great hit.
The biggest demonstration was IN
the Third ward. where a Haussling
banner was raised at Spruce and
Somerset streets. The pulleys were
fastened to dwellings, on the north
west and southwest corners, owned
by Republicans who have Joined the
Mayor's followers. The band played
national airs and when the Mayor

the crowd and they expressed their
approval of the mayor by mi
clapping.
Congressman Mccoy said:
Mccoy Answers Walker.
"a candidate for Congress in the
Ninth Congressional District named
Walker, a Progressive, remarked in
public the other evening that l had
shown myself opposed to everything
that Governor Wilson had suggested.
The statement is absolutely and I'M
qualihedly false, not to use the short
err and uglier word, as his patron saint
would say.
Il will account TO Governor Wilson
for my support of him to the salts
faction of the Governor. Walker need
not worry.
II was named as a candidate at a
primary election. / wonder whether
Walker could have been. 1t would be
distasteful to me TO dignity by any
discussion Of the false and malicious
statement about Oscar Underwood-a
man respected and admired by the
people of this country everywhere and
of whose friendship 1 am especially
proud.
But l want to talk to you about
something that will be of greater in
terest to you, and that is the tariff as
Il is related to wages and the high
cost of living.
you will recall that Mr.. Hilles,
chairman of the National Republican
Committee, has recently cent a letter
to manufacturers in which he speaks
of the high standard of living en-
joyed by the workmen of this coun-
try, stating that they should vote for
Mr.. Taft, so as to maintain the pro-
tective tariff and this high standard.
HiIles Can't Fool WorLmen.
"Mr. Hilles has probably not had
time to read the report of the United
States commissioner of labor, entitled
Report on Strike of Textile Workers
in Lawrence, Mass, in 1872 AL
though this strike was of recent oc-
currence, 1t is just as well TO keep In
mind the facts about it, when such
arguments as hat of Mr.. Hilles +
being used to fool the workmen
again.
