dent for Reelection.

j. Hampton Moore, former mayor Of
Philadelphia, has sent to the White
House a copy of resolutions adopted
last week by the WorkinEmen's Pro-
tective Tariff League of Philadelphia,
which indorsed Coolidge and Dawes
and appeals to "all workingmen in
the United States to vote for and sup
port these candidates. who are rep
reSentinG the principles which have
made our nation the ideal of all the
nations in the world"
Mr.. Moore in his letter explaining
the resolutions said that this league
was very effective in the Mckinley
campaign of 1896 and has been active
in presidential campaigns since. He
said its members are mostly mill
workers living in his old congression-
al district, the third.
They know wages are lower in
England than here" wrote Mr.. Moore,
and that wages are lower in Ger
many and Belgium than in England,
with the possibility of still lower
wages in Italy. The Presidents tariff
paragraph in his speech of acceptance
had a strong appeal to workingmen.
They should know that it is impossi-
BILE to get away from the difference
in cost Of production at home and
abroad"
