Chance for Mann to Make Good.

Congressman Mann, minority leader
OF the house, in an address before the
Chicago chamber OF commerce, went
on record as favoring preparedness
for national defense, preservation of
home industries and control OF the
world markets. In the present crisis,
he declared. 1t is time to forget our
partisanship, yield much Of our party
sffiliation and appreciate the nations
needs and opportunities. The senti-
ment is good; now let him square his
conduct in the coming congress with
his words by giving the administration
whole-hearted support in its plan OF
effecting these purposes without in
jecting impossible schemes of tariff
strictly for protection into the delib-
erations OF that body.

able extension and expansion Of activi-

Not since 1907 has there been noted
such confidence in the future as is now

mote sound enterprises in many and
varied fields of endeavor, and. indeed.
in many instances where the fields
seem open and profits seem we'll as

This confidence is based upon the
