WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. =
The Democrats Of West Virginia
seem to be as much perturbed over
the little ocean voyage which Sena-
tor Nathan Con is taking as though
he were the only senator from the
state and had gone away and left
them unrepresented in that body.
Possibly they do not feel that they
are properly represented with only
Senator Chiffon on the job, and are
fearful that he Will not sufficiently
guard the interests OF the state in
the preparation, OF the tariff bill. It
has already been announced by SEN
ator Chiffon that he would support
any tariR BILL agreed to in the Dem
Iocratic caucus, and that means that
he will stand for bill which more
nearly approaches free trade than
any measure which has ever been
proposed in the American Congress.
The attitude OF Senator Con on the
tariff is well known and it is little
wonder, therefore, that those per-
sons who want the business interests
OF the state protected should look to
him rather than to Senator Chiffon
for help, and should regret that the
conc ition Of his health makes 1t adj
visa BILE that he should go abroad for
few weeks on the advice of his
physician.
/ AS a matter of fact, Senator Goh
Is prepared to take a very active
mart in the debate on the tariff and
to stand up in the Senate ind point
out how the varied industries of West
Virginia will all be made to suffer.
He is thoroughly familiar with the
subject OF the tariff and has been a
student of 1t for many years. Early
In his public service he became an
authority on tariffs and, from his
Iboyhood up he has never wayered IN
his belief as expressed by him SO
APPLY in "the protection to American
labor through the broad shield OF
IAmerican law" And when he re-
turns from his trip abroad refreshed
inspired by his views of the ef-
feet OF low tariffs in other countries
Senator Cor may be counted upon
to arise In the Senate and inform
that body in no uncertain terms Just
how the reductions proposed will at,
feet the industries OF West Virgins
and it's people,
Those Democrats who are feartu
OF the action of Congress unless Sen:
ator Con is, In the Senate to protect
their interests need not fear that he
will not be ready to do so. Senator
,, Chiffon may support the free trade
, bill, with dts dire threats to the III
: dustries of West Virginia, but II
, spite of his voyage Senator Goff will
look to their interests and make cleal
to the Senate what the rsults o.
passing the bill will be. Senatol
Cor has not changed his tariff views
and will not desert West Virginia II
the hour OF it's extremity. Demo
Gratis who have been counting OF
him to make the fight against free
trade will not be disappointed. Sen
i, ator Cor can always be countec
!, upon to do his full duty and to stan'
by the American working man an:
= the conditions which bring abou
prosperity in American industries.
In the meantime, other Repubi
i, cans in the Senate are exposing the
!, dangers of the proposed tariff Law
, and explaining its inconsistencies, Sc
that even fl they are not numericai
~ strong enough to prevent th'
passage OF the bill they will have
laid it bare till the Democrats car
not have the excuse that they die
not know what they were doing
when the measure was passed.
