other s6h per cent are on manufac-
tured products. Thus instead of rem
edying the inequality, the bill makes it
worse"
Senator Dill said that while the only
increased rates for industry which
President Hoover suggested were for in
dustrieS languishing because of foreign
competition. the present tariff bill, he
charged. fails to provide a tariff for
some of such industries, but gives in
creased rates for industries already
prosperous" -
Senator Dill sharply criticized some
Of the mergers as to issuance of
"watered stock" the practice Of split
ting shares and "the use they make of
small stockholders TO propagandize
Congress whenever legislation is pend
ing affecting them" Despite protests
Of stockholders against investigation Of
the power interests, Senator Dill de-
clared the Federal Trade Commission
'has unearthed the most vicious, gigan-
tic and dangerous propaganda to poison
public opinion ever INDUCED in by the
financial interests Of the country"
Encouragement was held forth for
the progressive cause by Senator Dill.
Progressives of both parties, including
almost all the Democratic Senators, he
said, drove Daugherty, Fall and DENLY
from Office and carried forward the
fight that finally placed Sinclair in a
common jail. We forced Smith of Illi-
nois to resign from the Senate and
thanks to the efforts Of Senator Norris
to force early action. we will vote. Ware
out of the Senate in December" Other
victories claimed for the Progressives by
the speaker included abolition of secret
sessions of the Senate and victory in
the Senate on the farm bill, though, he
added, we were compelled to yield to
the House and the President or have
no farm bill at all"

may all be middle aged or old, OF
mostly young. For politician it is
doubly difficult, because the sweetest
music that ever comes to the ears of a
politician is the applause of the people
I speak to you tonight as Progress
sive Democrat AS I read the political
philosophy of Thomas Jefferson, no man
can be a true follower of Jefferson with

admits it or mot, is a Jeffersonlan
Democrat.
Party names have lost their power in
this country and among the younger
generation especially there is less re-
gard for political parties as such than
ever before. This augurs well tor the
future of Democratic government in
America.
1t is often said that the cure for the
ills of democracy Is more democracy.
The history of Government in this Re
public since 1889 demonstrates that the
