SIDE LIGHTS OF NATIONAL CAPITAL

( l [.
 Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States, takes advantage of a section of the Fordney -McC Cumber tariff act--an unconstitutional section in that it takes from Congress the right to inn pose taxation--to increase the tariff on wheat.
 As result, the people of the United States will pay for their wheat 45 cents bushel more than they would pay were they permitted to trade with Canada. The sorry story to consumers of bread in the United States will be told in the price of flour. In order to please the farmers of one section of the country, the President increases the cost of liv- ing to the people of all other sections.
 It is a political year. Thus ii was natural that the President should throw a favor to a section which has been in revolt against the republican party.
 The people in the other sections of the country, save the southern section, are getting their share of the general steal made possible under the tariff act There will be very little complaint on the part of those influential enough to reach theS1ewspapers or express them selves vigorously in the campaign.
 The average citizen of this rich coun- try can manage when the price of his food is automatically and unnecessarily increased by a few cents. There are many people, however, with whom each penny counts. They might tell the I,- suit of the election. s-.t
 There is nothing in current history more fradulent than the conduct of the republicans in Congress respecting the tariff protection offered farmers.
 When the Fordney- Cumber tariff act was before the Senate, democrats made every possible effort to retain on the free list those things which the far mers must buy in order to dig living out of the ground. Their efforts failed because the republicans were in a ma jority. In consequence, the farmers of the country pay the manufacturers of the east an unnecessarily large sum, of money for their implements, their hoes and rakes and ploughs, their kitchen utensils, their household goods, the lum- Der and nails which go into their dwell- ings, and even their salt.
 The farmers protection is nothing compared to the additional amount he must pay to the manufacturers of the east for his necessities of life.
 A politician would have thrown a bone to the farmers who produce wheat in the form of an increased tariff rate. A statesman, however, would not in order to please the farmers in a cam paign year increased the burden of all consumers whereas he could have done the farmers infinite good, by decreasing the prices he must pay for his neces- sities.
 But had Coolidge had resort to states manship, the profiteers of the east would have been all over his head and neck and shoulders; and they would have driven him from this modern tenn pie of money changers. And he knew it, too. 7,

DENIES FRAUD CHARGE Musgroye Allegations Untrue, Says
 Colonel Tuustall

MONTGOMERY, Ala, March 12.- Alfred NJ. Tunstall, manager of the campaign of Senator Oscar W. Under wood for the indorsement of Alabama democracy in his campaign for the democratic nomination for President, iss.ed statement today in which he said he welcomed, any contest of the result of the primary in which Senator Underwood received a majority of more than 25,000 votes.
 ;. Colonel Tunstall's statement was is- sued when the charge was made from headquarters of L. B. Musgrove in Bir- mingham that fraud had been practiced. Mir. Tunstall said that if any fraud had been committed, it was in Walker county, where Mir. Musgrove received a large majority.
 The statement issued at Underwood headquarters follows:
 There is not bit of truth in the statement. The election was carried fairly. It represents the wishes of the people of Alabama. Mir. McAdoo and Mir. Musgrove have acted through a sense of piQue at having been defeated. They cannot take their medicine. If there was any stealing done in Tues days primary, it was done in Walker county, and that county fell into the Musgroye column by the biggest ma jority in the state"
 Headquarters of the candidates made no effort Wednesday to continue the tabulation of returns. The result had become a certainty Tuesday evening. However, it appeared that the majority of Senator Underwood would be greater than 25,00O.
 Two great surprises occurred in the election. One was the victory of Sen ator Underwood n Jefferson county. It had been thought that Musgrove would take Jefferson, because of the epposi- ton of labor. Musgroye carried it over Senator Underwood when the two were opponents for United States senator. The other surprise was the small vote in the state. Incomplete returns from all counties indicate that less than 100000 votes were cast.
 Differences that may have been en- gendered in the heat of the campaign should be forgotten by Alabamians in
 nited effort to place Oscar W. Under foad
