 than his employer, for he was thrown out of employment.
 "As for the employer, sometimes he has been able to struggle on with the loss of profits sometimes he has had to close his shop. In businesses in which any of the big trusts were concerned, it was the small competitors of the trusts who were injured, and in many cases ruined. Tariff reduction as put Into practice by the present administration has chiefly benefited foreign rivals and competitors. It has done grave injury to the business of the community and the farming com munity, and has caused suffering to the wageworkers, and the whole policy of the administration has been one to cause our people to look toward the future with grave concern and apprehension.
 Should Be Rebuked
 Tt is of course essential to rebuke those leaders who by their action helped to put the present administration in power, and moreover it is of vital consequence to the future well being of our people to drive from public life all men whose political activities in state and nation alike have been such as those of Senator Penrose. This is not only a political but moral issue. I mention Senator Penrose merely because he typifes a class. Mir. Penrose stands in Pennsylvania as MT. Barnes stands in New York When we fight these men and their activities, we are fighting the battle of all decent men and in particular we are fighting the battle of the honest republican rank and file these men have misrepresented and be- trayed.
 Tt is well to keep in mind that we now have MT. Wilson's administration, that we now suffer from a wretched foreign policy and from home policies, interna- tional affairs which have seriously im- paired the well being of our people, pri- marily because of the action of Senator Penrose in associating with men of the same type like MT. Barnes. Messrs. Penrose, Barnes and their associates at Chicago, taking advantage of the fact that national nominating conventions are not protected by law, followed a course of conduct morally every whit as bad as that which at elections result in wrong- doers of humber rank being put in stripes. They stole from the rank and file of the republican party the right to govern themselves, to nominate their own candidates and promulgate their own platform. They took this action with
