| washington ID. G.-The sort of am
algamatlon which with be affected, be
tween the republican and progressiv,
PARTIES is the kind which will include
the republican ranks all the mem,
Jers of both parties except those who
are now holding Office as progressive
according to a pred ,ction made by
representative Mann of Illinois, re.
,ublcan leader of the House.
In other words Mr.. Mann taunts the
progress We members of Congress
With the statement that when the pol
tical tide flows in and ebbs out they
WIN be seen lying high and dry upon
he sands of politics, like detected
nasd of seaweed.
Mr.. Mann's remarks We're called
orth by the battle cry of Victor Mur.
ok of Kansas, progressive floor
eader, who has been exceedingly ac-
i've and glngery since Colonel Roose-
elt injected a little new life into the
'arty. Mr. Murdock declared yester-
lay that there would be mo- amalgam-
ltion between the republicans ard pre-.
,ressives, because the republicans are

Importing Potatoes
Reports Indicate that potatoes are
mother food product which foreign
will grow for Americans un-
i2r the Democratic tariff law.
We have been growing almost all
he potatoes We have needed For
istance, the last two months of 1912.
nder a Republican tariff, only Al 900
Sllsheis OF potatoes were imported In
o the United States. In the last
wo months of last year under a Dem
cratic tariff, nearly 1900, 900 bushels
( potatoes We're brought into this
ountry. This means more than a
1illion dollars which had been going
lto the pockets of American potato
alsers were sent to foreign potato
rowers. 1t Is reported that the
Dreign acreage of potatoes is to be
oubled and hereafter increased year
y year.
The southern rice growers are far ,
lg better at the hands of the Demo
ratio tariff makers. The WILSON, tar ,
I imposes duty of almost sixty
ents bushel on rice.
French Talks on Trust Bill /
Representative French supported In
louse the amendments to the :
rust bin now pending exempting ,
lrmers' organizations and labor Or

herman Antitrust law.
Mr.. French said: "The law was !,

ons and that 1t was not the inten- =
On of the farmers or of laborers,
either of which classes have capital :
the organization, but are rather I
'ganizations of individuals for the
objection of rights that are common
ALL"
One company that might be with

We or ten million dollars" said Mr.. /,
rench. 1T might be perfectly le- r
