STAND ON TARIFF
Declares Republicans Have Prac-

Than rs Years.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, October 29.-
Former Gov. James M. Cox of Ohio
Democratic presidential nominee in
1920, asserted in an address here last
night that Republican leaders for more
than a quarter of century have prac-
ticed bad faith with the American
people on the subject OF the tariff"
Answering President Hoover's Charles
ton speech lin which he warned you
against a threatened menace to the
business interests Of this State" in event
of a Democratic administration, Cox
said the President had given evidence
of a departure from calm reason.
"Proclaiming tariff schedules for the
protection of American industry, the
Republican leaders have deliberately
conferred privilege upon their campaign
benefactors. In short, they have given
legal license to pick the American
purse"
Declaring at is a simple matter" tc
afford protection with a competitive
tariff, (which in its scientific processes
is nothing more than All adjusted diff
ference in cost at home and abroad,
Cox called the Republican tariff policy
'the mistaken idea of e political party
= that huge campaign funds can be
collected through indirect taxation upon
consumption"

ALLEN DENIES FORGERY"
Says Montreal Star Vouches for Let
ter's Authenticity.

CHICAGO, October 20 @.-Henry
j. Allen, director of publicity for the
Republican National Committee, yes
terday denied that a letter allegedly
written to enlist Canadian financial
aid for Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt S
candidacy was a forgery, as charged
by James A. Farley, Democratic Ma
tional Committee chairman.
The letter, Allen said, first became
known through the Montreal Star, to
which it had been turned over by "a
prominent Montreal shipping man,
who received it. 1t allegedly appealed
to him for contributions to the Demo-
cratic campaign fund.
THE city editor of the Montreal
Star" Allen said, "vouches for its the
letter's) authenticity. The question OF
veracity rests between Chairman Far
ley and the Montreal Star, which Is a
responsible Canadian newspaper. A
natural question arises as to why Mr.
Farley did not question the authentic
ity of this letter when it was first pub
lished four days ago."

Slip of the Typewriter.

Star. The Star thought it funny and
passed the joke on to its readers. But
the United States Of America does not
seem to think it funny at all. A small
fortune has been spent on long distance
calls to this Office. Politicians in Chi
cago, New York, Boston and Washing
ton have burned up the line in anxious
ardent appeals to this paper to tell
them more about it. They particularly
want to know the name Of the man who
got the letter.
''They say they are going to duplicate
the Stars news item and scatter 1t al
over the continent. They will tell the
moonshining mountaineers of Kentucky
the divorce mill operators Of Nevada
the movie makers of California and the
and 10 sales girls of New York and
Chicago how the wicked, very wicked
Democrats went to Canada to appea
for financial help in order to bring tbs
people under their yoke. They want te
tell the people how the natural re.
sources of their country are already
being sold for Canadian lucre.
And they would give pound oi
flesh nearest their hearts for the name
and address of the man who got the
epoch making letter. But it is known
only to two men in the Star Office anc
wild horses will not drag it from them.
