cause it was drawn up with the help
of the tariff commission "a non-polfti-
cal body, he said), and because it is
flexible and can be adjusted to suit
conditions. He held that it is the only
tariff bill that gives protection to the
farmer as it places a duty on beef,
pork, mutton, wheat, potatoes, rye,
oats, wool, etc.
Senator Kellogg came in for praise
by MI. Knutson for his work in con-
nection with the tariff bill. He said
that six years ago he viewed Senator
Kellogg's election with apprehension
as he had heard that he was not with
the people, but that since that time
he has seen Mr.. Kellogg work. untir-
ingly for his constituents and conse-
quently is now firm in the belief that
he is doing as much as ten other sena-
tors. Mr.. Knutson said he would con-
slider it a misfortune if Senator Kel.
logg is not elected. -...
1T is to be regretted" Mr.. Knut-
son said, "that man is arrayed against
man and class against class. IF we
are to weather this storm we must all
unite in common cause" This is no
time for dissension or preaching Of
hate but rather q time for the preach

but I have nothing hut hate for the
man who would change our form Of
government which I believe is the
best, and I: have only amusement for
the psrlor economist who has only a
superficial knowledge of conditions"

times Mr.. Knutson tcontradicted what
he had previously said about the times
being hard and said no one could tell
him that times are hard and make
him believe it. "Why," he said, al
can remember. that when I was q boy;
just before Christmas my mother gave
me the last quarter in the house and
sent; me to the store after jug OF
molasses with which to make candy;
On the way home I slipped on, the
