and the intimation that just now re.
fsrred to is this, that those who are
doing the thinking, tho definite think

to destroy the Republican party as II
was in 1912 in order that they may

this great nation can be maintained
only BY the most thoughtful and con-

America and more and more the at
tention Of this county is being con-
centrated upon the Democratic party

party"
The president then outlined what
he characterized as the definite policy
NJ Democrats. 1.-THE only thing that
those OF us have done who have tried
TO lead" he continued, has been TO
purge our hearts and understand me-
my friends, a man who tries TO serve
a free nation must try to have in his
own heart the thoughts Of a free ma
ton. He must see 10 il that ne. 80
far as his intelligence permits, thinks
the same thoughts that the man on
the street thinks. and the man in the
factory and the man down In the mine
and the men running the trains.
'Tf he believes that men ought 70
work only eight hours, he is expect
ed TO say so, and II he is asked that
he means everybody he ought to an
swer yes. Everybody for whom it
is possible.
"There are some occupations in
which you cannot divide day into
eight hour periods. for tn esimple
reason that you have got TO do what
nature determines. do not see how.
for example, farmer could divide
the day up into periods OF eight
hours, because nature does not di-
vide Il up into periods OF eight
hours, but In most occupations where
the seasons do not dominate, where
the plans of men dominate, 1t Is pos
sible to have eight hours. and. more
over, eight hours are more profitable
to the men who manage the capital OF
the country than the longer day.
Have you noticed the interesting
gyrations OF the opposition with re-
gard to the protective tariff. II Is
very interesting how they have dis
closed their real mind about H. You
know for a long time they said this
ought not TO be a matter of partisan
politics. II ought to be treated with
absolute impartiality. We ought to
have a tariff commission TO put this
upon scientific instead of a polit-
zeal footing. Very well. We gave
them the tariff commission. II is
going to be put upon n scientific
footing. and so far as l am concern
ed, Democratic theories are going to
have no more to do with the facts
than Republican theories. The tariff
Is going to be handled. If can fnd
the right men TO handle II so that
nobody's opinion is paid any regard
to. and the facts and the alone, are
disclosed.
But that does not satisfy them.
Now that they know they are going
to have commission they are un-
easy because they are not going to
appoint 1t and not only that, but they
say they cannot wait for it. We
have got to have protection on the
old lines and in the old familiar way
right away, without waiting CSr the
conclusions of the commission. Are
we to assume. fellow citizens, that
they are insincere in desiring scien-
life basis for the tariff. or are we
to assume that they don't know
what they are talking about?

shutting more than fifty per cent OF

nations, and are. nevertheless, Sc
cretely engaged in manufacturing a
great body of products which are
going to be DUMPED on us after the
war when they are struggling fo7
their breath in the titanic struggle
for their life.
"It they can get anybody but them
selves to believe this why then per-
hats we ought to make ready for 1t,
but they don't know what is going
TO happen after the war. l don't
know what Is going to happen after
the war and you don't. The only
thing that we can do is TO prepare
the impartial eyes and methods OF
Inquiries which will find out for us
what is happening as fast as II hap

as they arise"
