ON TARIFF ISSUE

CROOKED LAKE, Ind. July II.
THE two Democratic senatorial
candidates accepted the battle gage
of the tariff issue thrown by
Senator James e. Watson, in adj
dresses here Friday at a con-
ference of Twelfth. District Demo
cratic party workers.
"The Democratic party proposes
to take the plumber out Of the tariff,
to begin a movement downward, to
substitute moderation for immodera-
ton, to replace the present act by
an act generally similar to the Un-
derwood act" Evans Woollen, short
term senatorial nominee, asserted.
No one is proposing free trade.
No one proposes to jump from pro-
lection to free trade"
Albert Stump, long-term senatorial
nominee, assailed a favorite theme
Of Senator Watson, that the high
tariff works to the advantage of the
laboring man.
1.-THE Republican tariff in 1928
effected an increase in profits of the
employer of labor of over four
billion dollars, while at the same
time it effected reduction in wages
Of $4,000, 100000" Stump said.
Records also show two million few
err persons employed in 1924 than in
1920"
Steel manufacturers prospered
while they reduced wages of their
employees, Stump also pointed out.

Since nothing adds more to the grow

For the past thee years, Mr.. Nelson
says, the Fall, Winter and Spring
population of ducks, on the Potomac
River especially, has been steadily in
creasing. AS these birds increase on
the lower river, more and more of
them are finding their way up to the
totally "gunproof" regions of Potomac
Park. In the near future, only the
feeding area there will limit the
hundreds of whirring wings that can
be counted over the river water during
the Fall, Winter and Spring months,
with more OF the big birds undoubt-
edly, too, using the Tidal Basin as a
quiet sanctuary for feeding and rest.

Only a second glance is necessary to
