you should vote tomorrow" Mr..
Simmons said. Il am here simply
to give you my ideas Of the most
important issue In the campaign to-
day. The republican party has al
ways supported and advocated a pro-
tective tariff"
He claimed that business condi-
tons in the country were directly a
result of the tariff policy OF the re-
publican party. He explained that
a protective tariff kept out of the
country goods which are manufac-
tured much cheaper in Europe than
here and thereby enabled the man.
ufacturers in this country 10 sell
their products at fair price instead
of cutting prices to meet those of
the foreign-made goods.
Go to the polls tomorrow and
cast your vote as your conscience
Dictates" he said. But remember
what ! tell you. The republican
party has been tried and not found
wanting and although the demo-
cratic party promises to protect the
industries of the country, why try
an unknown quantity?"
MIR. Simmons spoke for about l.
minutes.
