In attacking the press of the

Talked On Tariff
Dwelling at length on the tariff
legislation she stated 1t was IAN
adjusted compensation for the pro-
fiteers." She had the details of the
bill at her finger tips and quoted
statistics regarding It's operation in
the future. She made comparisons
for the farmer of what he would
pay for merchandise with the pro-
duce he had to sell. AS farmers
daughter she said she knew of the
hardships the farmer had to con-
tend with under q. iIig.i tariff. She

berry bush which causes so much
damage to the crops, Let me tell
you at this time that there is q
worse bush, and that is the New
berry bush. The ravages of the
"Newbery bush" means the death
OF democracy. The action of the
senate in supporting the, election of
the Michigan senator is dangerous
to the perpetuity OF our govern
ment. Only three more votes are
needed to bring the question of
Newberry's seat in the senate to a
reach the senate chambers at
Washington, that I will cast my
vote for his unseating.

vote for Newberry to retain his
seat? No one. In my canvass OF

But Of all the senators Mere to
support Mr.. Kellogg. where Is Mr..
Newberry, why hasn't he been
brought here to help the junior
senator in his race"
In her denunciation OF Senator
Newberry and the action of the
senate in reseating him, she gave a
rehash of the Michigan election and
the subsequent events which led up
to the fight in the senate for his
unseating. She stated the method
of procedure in the election at
Michigan, was buying and selling
of seat to the United States SEN
ate.
Touching lightly on TIE excess
profit tax, for which she said she
was strong, Mrs. Oiesen asked: "If
you can't tax excess profit, what
Is there you can Justly tax."
In. closing her speech the woman
candidate for the, senate said:
'sFolks, there Is a handwriting on
the wall. know that my election Is
assured. -
At the close OF the democratic
rally, Mrs. olesen stood in front OF
the ar1nory stage and shook hands
and greeted the large throng of
men and women who crowded for

Mrs. Olesen's speech last night
did not differ materially from that
she delivered at the Garden City
fair in AUGUST, and which was pub
