speech at Elkhart Wednesday night de
manded that Senator James E. Watson

laws Of today. in order to reduce the
high cost Of living.

continue bis attacks against Senator Wat
son, in an effort to force an admission
that his charges against the trade COM
mission were unfOunded. and were made
for the benefit of the big packers Of the
country.
