WOOLLEN SEES
DEMOCRAT YEAR.;
TOURS DISTRICT
Senatorial Candidate and
CanfieId Speak at
GreenSburg.
BIZ Times Special

BIZ Times Special
GREENSBURG, Ind, Aug. 20
This will be a Democratic year,
Evans Woollen, Democratic candi-
date for the short term in the United
States Senate, declared here this aft
ernoon.
Woollen and Harry c. Garfield,
candidate for reelection as Repre-
sentative from the Fourth district,
are touring this section.
II can give several reasons for
my conviction" Woollen said.
One Reason
THE first reason is that, in going
over threefourths of the counties
during the last eight weeks, 1 have
found everywhere among Democrats
the will to win. The disheartenment
of last year has disappeared The
second reason is that, under the un-
commonly effective leadership of
State Chairman Peters, a cohesive,
militant organization is being built.
THE other reasons relate to the
issues. state and national. l men,
ton three phases of the tariff issue
that give me encoura cement. In
1890, Immediately after the enact
ment Of the Mckinley law which
imposed duties higher than those
therefore known, the Republican
party was defeated as 1t had never
been defeated before. Again, when
the Payne-AldMch law imposed still
higher duties in 1910 the party was
again defeated. Now that the Ford
ney-McCumber law has imposed
dgties averaging 1870 higher than
those of the Payne-Aldrich law, it
seems remarkable to expect that
our people will again repudiate OK
treme protectionism.
Farmer Suffers
Another phase of the tariff issue
arises from the fact that by the Ford.
ney-McCumber law the farmer mas
been unfavorably affected in that the
prices Of the things he buys have
been raised. We may expect that
Republican farmers, at last con-
WINGED that the tariff works against
them and not for them, will come to
our policy of a moderate tariff
"a third phase of the tariff issue
arises from the fact that business,
having come to better understanding
Of international trade, is favorably
inclined to reduction duties to the
end that other nations, by sales to
us, may accumulate credits with
which they can buy our surplus prod
ucts, manufactured and agricultural.
This weeks issue of a business serv-
ice put out by a staff of trained OBJ
servers in Washington, said: I'm
questionably manufacturers, on the
whole, are going to be less militant
in opposition to downward revision
Of the tariff than ever before in the
Nations history. The automobile
industry is impressively against high
tariffs. Highly organized industry
is inclining in the same direction

in manufactures. There are extern

copper, silver, gold and clay. Every

the first president of the new repub-
lie, a democratic constitution was
adopted, with equal suffrage for men
and women. 1t is said that enthusi-
asm for learning the English Ian
guage is now only second to the en-
thusiasm for the American sport Of
baseball.
The western half Of the new state
is made up of the former Austrian
provinces of Bohemia and Moravia,
where the bulk of the population is
Czechs. The eastern half includes
Slovalia and Ruthenia, which for
merly were parts Of Hungary The
Slovaks are closely related to the
Czechs in language and race, but are
separated from them by the Little
Carpathian Mountains. The Ruthen-
ians (also called Rusins, or Little
Russians) are Slavs, who are closely
related to the Russians of the
Ukraine; they are guaranteed
autonomy" self government) by the
peace treaties.

Germans and Hungarians (Magyars)
are mostly on the borders, so that
unity of race in the new State is
little broken. There are many Czechs
in the United States. and Chicago
is sometimes called "the third Czech
city in the world" The area of the
new republic is about $4,000 square
miles, only a little larger than I'LL
nois, but it's population of about 49,
100000 is over twice that of this
State.
One difficulty the republic has to
contend with is the fact that the
rivers of the eastern half flow south
ward and that the uplands inhabit-
ants there formerly migrated to the
Hungarian plain as farm laborers
for summer work-a practice now
practically cut off by the erection
of new political frontier. Another
difficulty was a bitter dispute with
Poland over the rich coal mining
region of Teschen, on the northern
boundary.
