Nation is progressing. and at the
same time is being operated as eco
nonically as is possible. all of which
meets with the popular approval.
"Our friends the Democrats. in an
effort to offset our prosperity issue"
Mr. Tilson continued nov are at
tempting to make the public believe
that this prosperity is being enjoyed
actually by only a very few-that
the big corporations are deriving all
the fruits and benefits. We will not
deny that the corporations of this
country and all other forms Of bust
ness are deriving the fruits Of this
era Of good times. That is true. Also
1t Is true that this Is typical Of the
individuals Of the country. The pros
perity is being we'll distribute0. and
no one can honestly deny that the
Salaried man and wage Garner are
not pretty well pleased with things
as they stand. They are not anxious
to see change In this condition.
Therefore why would they want to
bring about the defeat Of the party
that has made this state of affairs
possible and actual?"
Mr.. Tilson admitted that he hears
some grumblings about the tariff
position party. He stated very en-.
phatically that there would be no
tihkering with the present tariff law
at the coming session. He declared
that this tariff has done more than
any one other thing to bring about
and to keep up the present good
times in America
1t was added by Mr.. Tison tina
directly to hurt what we refer to In
this country as big business" would
more seriously affect the little fellow
and the individual worker. As for
allegations made by the opposition
hat the Coolidge administration and
the present Republican Congress are
giving undue privileges to big bust,
ness. Mr.. Tilson said those who are
making those charges should take
their facts to the legal authorities of
the country.
While Mr. Tilson's campaign activ-
tiles have heen confined mostly to
the East. he reported that the agri-
cultural and business conditions in
the Central and Northwest are rep
resented as being good and that the
Republican prospects in those sec
tions are bright. He pointed out that
while Senator Lenroot's defeat for the
Republican nomination to succeed
was not unexpected. Moreover, he
looked upon the Lenroot vote as be-
Ing one to he proud Of and as indie
ative of the growing strength of the
administration Republicans In that
State.
No Move for Farm Relief.
There will he no effort made during
the next session to put through any
farm relief legislation. Mr.. Tilson in
dicated. He said the House defeated
the McNary- -Haugen bill by a decisive
vote, and he can see no good reason
for those advocating such legislation
again to attempt II in the Heuse. In
In the way Of legislation that will
meet what the farmers Of this coun-
try a. whole want. He contended
that you cannot stabilize prices at a
high level merely ny legislation.
Going into more detail about the
congressional campaign. Mr.. Tilson
| reported that the indications today
! are that practically every one OF the
seven or eight socalled doubtful Re
publican Senators will be successful
| next November. As for the House,
he expects the Republican majority
to he about the same as now-3b. ex.

Regarding intima ions that an ef
fort will he made at the next session
| of Congress to amend the Clayton
| antitrust law to meet the dema nds
| of the present situation. Mr.. Tilson
said he realizes that there Ia consid
cradle talk TO this effect. hut he doubts
II the proposition has reached any
definite form as yet.
Congress will be 50 occupied with
appropriation bills and the several
important pending measures yet to he
considered when 1t meets next Win
ter that 1t will have little time for
any thing else" Mr.. Tilson said
Moreover, the leadership OF Congress
IL going to be kept busy standing
| guard over the public Tres sury by
warding OF attempted raids on the
| part o. members OF Congress through
! the medium Of pet bills of an individ.
nal nature. Naturally enough these
raids will be aide,i and sbetted by the
Democrats IN an effort to discredit the
