committees in the Republican party, but
to supplement 1t and keep the question
OF Republican principles before the peo-
pie at all times rather than for short
periods Immediately preceding elections.

mands We are now furnishing material
to papers throughout the country num-
bering 1900 or more and reaching approx
mately 100000 persons.

The success OF the association Is al

son OF the temporary prosperity brought
about IN certain industries by the war In
Europe the country should be lulled into
the belief that the Underwood tariff bill
was not a blunder ana that there Is no
further need Of protection to American
industry. II Is as plain as the nose on
ones face that as soon as the European
war steps there will be an immediate
