Abusing Cummins.
Opponents Of Senator Cummins are
now hammering hard against the in
creased freight rates which they lay
to the Cummins- Esch bill as COM
pared to the falling prices In grain:
The republicans are pointing out that
the free trade policy of the demo-
cratic administration which is, bring
Ing in vast quantities OF. wheat and
oats from Canada is largely respon-
sible for the demoralization of the
grain market.
The increase in freight rates, the
Republicans argue, had to be because
the railroads were deAnoralized could
mot borrow money, cbuld not furnish
cars and some way had to be pro-
.vided to stop the losses which had
resulted from government operation.
They point out that even the demo-
cratic platform states that the bill
was necessary to avoid chaos and
recommends that it be given fair
trial.
The statement of Senator Cummins
on the bill is widely quoted in which
he declares. 'If there ever was a
statute enacted which not only had
for its purpose the protecting of the
people but which had the effect to
protect them this is the statute"
Clyde Herring is planning follow

Kendall has spoken,
Herring continues to talk business

cleaning up" Of the state house
while Kendall points out that he has
all along stood for economies and ef-
ficiency in state affairs and declares
that III house cleaning is necessary
at the state, house I'll attend to it
after January first if I am elected
governor" ~
