 here When we undertake tariff legislation, solution of the farm 1roblems, and fulfllment of the oth- ar Republican platform pledges, his rolte in the councils of the party tnd vote in the Senate will be of very great assistance.

be no difference among real Ameri-

prohibition enforcement. He declared
that foes OF prohibition would have TO

have the law changed.
