American business in the mass is
honest. American business men In
the main have the highest integrity
and loftiest patriotism. There Is a
very small class, q very few, who
by their contempt Of law and their
oehance OF right arouse the vindic-
tive iadicalism which We ali abhor
and against which they unctiously
preach. We would deal with this
class Just as We would deal with
the preacher of Eedition. and II Is
this knowledge on the part OF those
who represent them in politics and
those who speak for them through
the press that brings to Us toCsy a
new epithet, which, from their
standpoint is more oppcbrious than
tho old war worn epithets with
which during the great conflict they
we're accustomed to frighten US.
To-day any individual not sum-
ciently subservient to power is with
finality disposed of with varying
journalistic grimaces by the epithet
radical" 1t is the new bogey with
which to frighten the timid. There
are radicals in our country. there
are the few who preach the over
throw of government by force. and
violence, and whom We would all
make feel the heavy hand of the
law, Every normal American would
drastically deal with these. This
would make them realize that the
government is supreme in this land
and we would put them where they
could not affect government or in
jure organized society.
But there is another class of
radicals, too, who breed the blatant
ones, and who, because of their pow
er and their influence. their cunning
and their entrenched position are
far more dangerous. / would deal
in a like manner with both classes;
not only would l employ the power
of the State against the extremist
of the soap box preaching over
throw of government by force and
violence, but with equal vigor I'd
endeavor to reach and suppress and
punish, the radical of great wealth
and power who endangers the re-
public by cunning and dishonest
practices. and insidiously under
mines society by illegitimate .ex-
ploitstion."

Paris had nothing on the intrigue of

Next Thursday, when that time

most promising for their candidates.
At present, none of them knows.

upon program of herding into selfish

Repeats Views on Tariff
1t have listened with much interest
to Governor Stephens's suggestions
touching the interests of the West
Coast in this campaign 1t is Cratifv-
n I
heretofore made. ticipated much of
what he has set forth
1T happens that d communication
from Caiiforna afforded an occasion for
my declaration in favor of adequate
protection to the very interests in
whose behalf Governor Stephens has
demanded it and generally for a tariff
policy aimed to care for all American
production which makes for sclf-reli-
ance and our common good fortune
with the subjects of reclamation
in my address on GOVERNOR, Day. and
have found that Governor StoDhcns's
views concidc with my own and also
with those OF many men of ali sections
who have expressed gratifying approval
OF such interpretations OF our platform
to which | have given expression. As to
the policy of encouraging the merchant
marine, have been quoted as enter
tanning views in harmony with those
stated by Governor Stephens: while
in the matter of full naval guarantees
on the Pacific it seems hardly possible
that there will be any disagreement
among members of our party ALWAYS
eager to maintain the security Of the
country.
"Sinllary it is pleasing to observe
that what Governor Stephens has said
about wise constructive encouragement
to agriculture is in complete acrcc-
ment with what l said (. few days ago
IN Minnesota. In short. ] cannot hu:
fee! that the impressive agreement i,c.
tween Governor Stephens's statement
in behalf of the great West and my
own understandings the party's dccia
rations of policy Constitute a fine tcs-
timony to the fact that the Republican,
party is truly the broad national party
whose policies and program are Sweep
ing and inclusive enough to reach the
entire nation.
To-day, for example, you have come
New-York tribune., 1920-09-15

into our representative and executive
branches Of government to get his
counsel and assistance.
THE time has come when we are
cessing to be 8 food exporting nation,
and must look we'll TO guaranteeing
that we shall be self-sustaining. A fail
urc to be self-sustaining in agriculture,
in our food supply, will mean the weak
ness which afflicted and threatened one
or more of our great allies in. the World
War. Failure to be self-sustaining
would be a menace to us in war and
menace to US In peace.
1--WE have adequate national and in
ternational reasons for keeping alive
our necessary agricultural industries
when they are threatened by competi
tion from lands of cheap labor or new
and exploited soil, by protective duty
upon our imports Of food. And, of
course, I use the word agriculture in
it's broader sense, including horticuI-
ture.
Fruit Growing Industry
81 think case in point is your own
citrus and other fruit industries of
California. America must ask herself
if she will allow these industries to
be threatened in their very existence
by the invasion Of foreigngr grown fruits,
cultivated, IN some cases, under SUD-
sidy given by a foreign government,
by labor which knows nothing Of our
own American standards Of living
My answer is that just as the fruit
growers of California are willing to
put America first. SO must America be
first in upholding their efforts, and that
if to save this or any other worthy
and developing agricultural industry Of
America, tariff protection is necessary,
then tariff protection must be given.
Our protection by the tariff of agri-
cultural industry must be based upon
our concern for the American manu-
facturer, the American farmer and tho
American consumer We are acting to
safeguard and balance the interest of
all--that, indeed, in applying protec-
tive duties or removing them, we are
acting with full conscience Of the
rights of all at home and abroad
that we are acting for America
