how the present tariff law favors the
south and many of the manufacture
ing interests in the east as against
the wool growers and farmers of the
west He referred briefly to some of
the policies he would favor, if elected
to the United. States senate, and
spoke in glowing terms of the work
that Senator Borah is doing in the
senate. In private conversation Mr..
Gooding expressed himself as being
confident that he would secure the
nomination at the primaries. II
