While he was in the South dicker- pport of Republican | delegates to the 1912 convention, a movement was __ started among the “‘genuine’’ progressives of the West and Middle West looking toward the withdrawal of all support from the former president. Some of the leaders of the Congres- sional delegation of progressives quietly talked the situation over and decided not to permit Roosevelt to run away with the leadership of the national progressive movement. If necessary to prevent the ex-president from using the progressive movement for his own personal advancement, these real progressives will publicly repudiate Roosevelt. They will di- rect public attention to the gross duplicity Roosevelt practiced on the people by proclaiming himself a pro- gressive and then straightway turning about and allowing the New York state convention—over which he had absolute control—to adopt a platform indorsing the Payne-Aldrich tariff jugglery and the reactionary Taft ad- ministration, The New York platform squarely describes the Payne-Aldrich law as a fulfillment of Republican promises, because it states there was an aver- age reduction of all duties of 11 per cent, which, if true, would constitute revision downward. This is in contrast to the Wisconsin republican platform which states un- equivocally that “the Payne-Aldrich tariff is not a compliance with the pledge of the Republican party LaFollette, Clapp, Bristow, and Dolliver are on record as saying the Republican promise of downward revision was not carried oi There- fore if Roosevelt was right, the pro- jgressives who declared otherwise are members of the Ananias club, which they emphatically deny, and which the public does not believe. The Roosevelt-made platform con- tains still another paragraph which makes T. R. impossible as leader of the genuine progressives in 1912 to- wit: ‘We enthusiastically indor the progressive and leadership of William Howard Taft.’ ‘ummins e iastically’’ do NOT indorse the administration. Progressives dorsed Cannon as another Lincoln, Aldrich as the greatest living finan- cier and the tariff law tariff bill ever passed; and last but as the best not least, for having th out his administration sought counsel from men like Aldrich, Guggenheim, Ste- phenson, Dalzell and ‘Fordney, while at the same time refusing to give even respectful notice to the sugyes- tions of progressive Republicans. Through indorsing the tariff and Taft, Roosevelt has queered himself with the progressives. They will not permit him to enter the 1912 progres- sive movement, much less to bring in with him Mr. Taft and Elihu Root, the messenger boy of Wall street. | Roosevelt Was in Control. Roosevelt declares that had he been in absolute control of the New York | Republican Convention he have written the tariff plankdifferent- lly.’’ He was in absolute He named the platform committee himself, in violation of al As temporary chairmanof the conven- tion he removed four members of the }committee and substituted delegates |personally acceptable to himself. |He had made a rough draft of the platform before he left his home at Sagamore Hill. n the floor of the convention in’ behalf {of the direct nominations plank, but he said never a word about the tariff. jQuery: If he had pronounced views jon the tariff why did he not air them? |It would have been an opportunity to reveal his much-boasted courage and fearlessness. Mr. Roosevelt could “would control yrecedents. He made a speech dorsing the tariff, or could have made it say anything he wished on thatsub- ject. Pity the Manufacturers. “We must have more protection! Otherwise the foreign manufacturers will drive us of our home markets!”’ This was the cry that went up from the lobbies of the manufacturers in Washington while the tariff was being revised. The fact is, however, that instead of being in danger of being driven out of home markets, our man- ufacturers are competing successfully with the manufacturers in nearly ev- ery country on earth by selling their goods cheaper abroad than to home statesmanlike The genuine progressives “‘enthus- | Taft sealding. The back aches constantly, like LaFollette condemn Taft for having filled his cabinet with representatives of the special interests; for having in- have prevented the platform from in- | consumers. During the eight months ended with Augustthere were export- ed in all 1,027,000,000 worth of goods. Manufactured products composed more than 52 per cent of that, valued at more than $542,000,000. Exports of that class represented $2,500,000 for each business day, Twenty years ago they were only a little more than | $750,000 a day. Lloyd Did Excellent Work. Nearly all of the 391 Democratic |congressional candidates have been |nominated. To James T. Lloyd of | Missouri, chairman of the National Democratic Congressional Committee, | properly belongs a large share of the \eredit for the high character of the | men selected to make the race in the /name of Democracy. From the mo- | ment he took charge of the campaign Mr. Lloyd concentrated his efforts up- fon seeing that men of high moral character and recognized integrity were named. ‘‘We can win, but only | if we present men of proven patriotism jand integrity, to the voters,’’ declared | Mr. Lloyd over and over again to the Democratic leaders throughout the country, This was practically an ul- | timatum, because Chairman Lloyd saw | to it personally that his wish was car- | ried out. | A Tariff Example. | The plate glass trust, made possible | by the higher tariff wall, has added {100 per cent to its selling prices in about two years time, and of this ad- vance it gave one-sixth to the work- men and five-sixths to the stockhold- This trust makes the American consumer pay nearly $2 for every $1 worth ofglass he buys. It willbe no- ticed that the ratio of 1 to 5 is about the usual proportion in which the Re- publican party protects the laborer and rich manufacturer. ers, NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE.
