SEN. P0|NDEXTER COMES
BACK At "H|NKY -D|NKS"

Arriving without any fuss
or feathers, and plunging ut
once into the program ar
ranged for him, Senator
Miles PoindeXter, within a
very short time after reach
ing Tacoma this morning, put
himself fearlessly on record
to his position on the tariff,
and his attitude on party
questions.
The exact hour of Senator
Poindexter's arrival was not
known to his friends in Tacoma
in time to permit of any reception
and he simply alighted demo-
cratically from the interurban,
and accompanied his campaign
manager, Burns Poe, to HIS office
in the Bankers Trust building.
This afternoon, Senator Pom
dexter will speak at Puyallup at
1880 and at Sumner at 3:30.
Speaks Tonight.
This evening he will speak at
Eagles hall, 1905 South e street,
at s o'clock.
He will leave for Seattle 1T 8
O'Clock tomorrow morning.
In his first address today, be-
fore the Young Mems Republican
club at the Peerless Grill at noon,
Senator Poindexter said:
"A good deal has been said
about the tariff. t
"The only way the tariff can
be permanently settled is by the
establishment of a tariff commits
sion with power not only to ~
vestigate. but to find the facts as
to higher wages paid by the Unit
ed States over foreign countries
and the higher cost of protection,
which findings, when formally
made by the commission, shall be
collected at customs houses as the
rates of duty.
In this way the principle of
protection will be permanently
settled as a national policy and
business will be relieved from
periodic upheavals by wholesale
political tariff campaigns and re-
visions.
