A. COLLIER COMES
OUT FOR HUGHES

Julius A. Collier, formerly a
state senator in Minnesota and a
lifelong democrat, it is said, will
vote for Charles E. Hughes in
November, according to a. state
ment made at republican west
ern headquarters in Chicago,
where Collier is a caller. The
following statement is attributed
to Senator Collier:
II believe that the country
should be considered as a whole.
l have no prejudices against
the south and am anxious to see
that section prosper because it
is entitled to- prosperity and
the prosperity Of any one Sec
ton aids the entire country.
But I am opposed to the domino
.tlon Of the entire country by a
minority portion Of that coun-
try. An analysis Of the approp-
ration bills shows that in raid
ing the treasury as the democrat
have done the great bulk Of ap-
preparations was made for the
south and a large, portion Of
these We're for Improvements in
the form of pork to bolster
up the PERSONAL ambitions Of va
rlous southern congressman. In
levying taxes for revenue the
same analysis will show that
while the south grabs for itself
two-thlrds or more Of the ap-
preparations, it. levys upon the
north two thirds or more of the
taxation. This is unfair, undemo
cratic and purely sectional.
'The last congress, control
led by the democratic party, has
been a cipher in the hands OF
the president. Upon him must
rest the responsibility for it's
SINS OF omission and commission.
Ills policies have been carried
out. Yet the record shows the
widest extravaganza and the
most reckless disregard Of the
common needs Of the country.
"While this raid on the. treas.
ury was in progress, the same
congress busted itself in passing
a program of socalled construc-
tive legislation, none of which
will stand the test Of analysis.
This is true Of the Underwood
tariff law, which resulted in the
stagnation Of business and threat
ened the integrity Of all indust-
rial progress.
lin its passage of the federal
reserve act, the administration
claims credit for having avert
ed q panic by this legislation
yet fairness compels the admis-
sion that it was the provisions
of the Aldrich- Vreeland act whic
averted the panic, an admission
that is made by the present sec

port on the subject.
