But a few days of the campaign remain in which to let the truth be known and heralded from every, housetop, that America is to “stand pat” where protection is concerned, and that we as a nation will not accept another dose of free trade such as afflicted the nation from 1892! to 1896, when factories and farms were foundered and one of the greatest industrial calamities of modern times swept like a besom oyer the face of our land. Working men, farmers and mechanics wish to do the fair thing, and they will do it providing they are made acquainted with the true situa tion. But with so many national leaders trying to smoke screen the facts it is going to be a strenuous struggle for the truth to come out. Protectionists have a duty to perform in the premises. Let the proper literature find place in the hands of the people and all the sophistries of demagogues and charlatans of the free trade propaganda will be frustrated atthe polls on Noyember 4th. Western Reclamation Plans are going ahead at the department of the interior with the full assurance that the next session of congress will give its approval to a definite program of western reclamation. Secretary Work and Dr. Elwood Mead, com- missioner of reclamation, are taking it for grant- ed that the six new projects recently recommend- ed will be approved and sufficient money set aside to begin construction without delay. These projects are Kittitas in Washington; Owyhee, Vale and Baker in Oregon, Guernsey dam and Casper-Alcova project in Wyoming. Spanish Springs in Nevada‘and Salt Lake Basin in Utah. This will be the longest forward step taken by the government in western reclamation since be- fore the Democratic party gained control of the government in 1913 and all western development stopped for eight years. c One Year, Sunday on'y --- £ Six Month, Daily and Sunday - Three Months, Dat Sunday nt.

Instead you vote for presidential elec S tors, whose names appear upon the ballot in lieu if of the names of the presidential and vice presi ; dential candidates, for each party. There is one presidential elec for each congressional dis trict under the congressional apportionment, and two electors corresponding to the number of sen- utors in the congress from each state. These elec tors form the ele college which meets in the national cap and whose members vote direct for the president and vice president in ac t)~ cordance with the of the political i party. upon whose t they were elected. For instance the mes of the electors who 2 head: the Repub in “Wyoming are James M. Graham, Henry Perrett and Lee Simon son. A vote for these men, that is a cross after thetr names, is a vote for Calvin Coolidge and Charles G. Dawes: Other party tickets in like fashion. If Messrs. Grahiam, Perrett and Simonson are chosen by the yoters of this state to represent them in the electoral college, they will proceed to Washington, at the appointed time and cost ‘ the vote of the state of Wyoming for Coolidge and Dawes. In case there is no election in the electoral college as it might arise out.of the -present election because there are three sets of candi- dates in the running, likely to divide the elec- toral college vote so as no two of the candidates heading the one ticket would secure the necessary number of votes required for election. When only Republican and Democratic tickets are in the field, the candidates on the one or the other ‘ ticket are very certain to secure the majority of the votes in the college, the minimum to elect being at this time two hundred sixty-six, the ma- jority of the total electoral vote of five hundred thirty-one. Should this occur the election of the president is transferred to the house of representatives where the states yote as units that is the politi- eal complexion of state delegations governs the vote of the state. In like manner the election of the vice presi- dent is referred to the senate in which the mem- bers cast ninety-six individual votes, that being the ‘number of senators elected to the body. It is altogether unlikely that complications of the nature spoken of will arise ont of the ap- proaching election. There is such a pronounced trend toward Coolidge and Dawes, that they are almost certain to receive a great many more votes in the electoral college than the required two hundred sixty-six to elec Let Truth Shine False political teachings are rampant this year as never before. Back in the latter part of the last century the Democrats, having had four years in which to try their tariff theories on the country, sig- nally failed to make good in fact so destroyed the good times of the previous four years as to utterly discredit them in the eyes of the people. It would have simply been suicidal to come again before the country advocating the old shib- boleth of tariff for revenue only, hence it became necessary to sidetrack the issue and seek a new which proved to be free silver. g denounced the solid interests of om as preparing a cross of gold on which to crucify the people, he sounded forth another foolish crusade for fifty-cent dollars, which, had it bi enacted into w, would have taken half the workman's we nd sent the country onto the rocks as assuredly as had free trade in other years. The scheme of dodging the tariff issue failed. Today the tariff, the rock of our prosperity, is * being-secretly undermined in the interest of cer tain scheming politicians who imagine the peo- ple. have short memories and will tumble over themselves to abrogate protective tariff dut FPree-trade yersus tariff for protection is the supreme issue ofthe hour, it caps all other is sues as the mountain peak towers above the small sandhill. Republicans should see to it that the tariff is not sidetracked to make a Democratic holiday. It means too much. Our present tariff is not com pletely satisfactory, although it is far ahead of the bill it superseded , The future of this republic will be made bright er and brighter as time passes and new tariffs, 1 eaBbdenb diene Reeds eeersved teeny meeting all the requirements of business, are enacted, provided of course that Coolid nda Republican congress are elected this - That nding im is the issue. There is no other of comr ortance, = - E: A free-trade tariff measure thrust upon the country at this stage of our progress out from the mists of the World War, will work more woe and destruction on the United States than did ‘ the great war, We should consider these things President Coolidge is known to be heart and soul behind the program to develop in a practi- al way the reclaimable areas of the west.

It is understood t he will show equal z for the Columbi sin project in eastern Washington just us| soon as the report of the engineers and economic ‘ngineers is in, provided it comes with a favor- ible recommendation. Diversify Industries The hope of the future of the United States lies in the utmost possible diversification of our ndustries. Whatever our own resources enable us to produce in the United States should be pro- luced here, thus giving employment to American !abor in the United States. The “home market” of the United States is worth to Americans all of the other markets of the world put together. Here we have our own people, familiar with our products and eager to obtain them. They do not ‘ave to be “shown.” Already they know. The sur- plus products, to be sure, find a market abroad, and itds good to cultivate such markets for such surpluses, but*not at the expense of American ‘ndustries and not at the expense of American labor. We have learned that our overproduction- in quantity of farm products helps to reduce the ‘ome market prices. below the production cost of such, products, and the aim should therefore be to produce no more than we need for our own consumption, and thus avoid parity with the “cheap” foreign competing products. “America for Americans” should be our aim. The Bulwark of Minorities President Coolidge says: “The supreme court vas created andygiven its special functions with ‘he intent that it should stand always as the bulwark and defense of minorities. It is our shield against the passions of the moment; the extremes of temporary and illkadvised senti: ment, To deprive it of the place it holds and to substitute nothing for it would be a reaction- ary step. so serious as to constitute a national calamity. Indeed, it would be nothing less than a reyolution. It might mark the beginning of a process of institutional disintegration which, once fairly started, could not be stopped in time to save our governmental structure. For this reason I deem the present a time of crisis to the country.” All Wrong Not the least humorous of the recent editorial observations of the Democratic New York World was that in which the World charged the Repub- licans with having encouraged the LaFollette- Wheeler candidacy. “To what end?” asks the World, and answers: “To the end of re-electing Mr. Coolidge by helping LaFollette to draw Dem- ocratic labor votes from Mr. Davis and by at- tempting to frighten conservative Democrats in- to voting for the Republican ticket.” Wrong, World, wrong. The first encouragement the La- Folette-Wheeler outfit had was from the Demo- crats in the house and senate at the very begin- ning of the session of the 68th congress, and this encouragement has continued until’ now it is actual co-operation to accomplish an electoral college deadlock as the only hope the Democratic party has of putting a candidate in the White House. Hope for Restored Sanity Let us hope that after the campaign sophistry has died common sense will return. There should be less credulity and more reasoning. People who affect to believe that wages can be higher and commodity prices lower and that the government has some occult power to make everyone rich without working, and at the same time reduce taxes, should made to see the error of their w Perhaps it is too much to expect that the time-serving politicians will hereafter refrain. from promising to get the moon for overgrown children who cry for it. Modest Mr. Walsh Frank P, Walsh, the labor leader says: “The Republican party is raising a ‘slush fund’ of at least $6,000,000 to elect Coolidge and Dawes.” Shades of James M. Cox and Franklin Roosevelt who insisted in 1920 that we were raising at least calculation $20,000,000 to do a similar sery- ice for Harding and Coolidge. Mr.-Walsh is en: tiraly too modest in naming the amount of cam- paign funds. He could have said we are now rais- ne Casner Daily Cribun VOTE FOR: Another Republican * Elector Henry Perrett, Republican candi- date for presidential lector, is English by birth. He was born Sep- tember 6, 1869, at Derbyshire, Eng- land. His father was a coal miner. At the age of 19 he concluded to try his fortunes in the New World, and arrived in America July 8, 1888, lo cating at Montpellier, Idaho. He re- sideq there until July, 1894, and then decided to stop roaming and try Wyoming. July 15, 1894, he ap- plied to the Union Pacific at Raw- lins, Wyoming for employment as @ worker in the ash pit of the local machine shops. Later he was given a job firing on an ‘engine of the seventh district, between Rawlins and Green River. This work he performed so faithfully that in 1900 he was promoted to the position. of | locomotive engineer. Since that time he has been in continuous ser- vice as an engineer out of Rawlins. His first political position was alderman for the city of Rawlins, in which position he served two years. The people of that city, finding him to be a man of exceptional ability, promoted him to the important ex- ecutive position of mayor. His term will end {in May, 1926. Henry Perrett has been the secre- tary of the Brotherhood of Locomo- tive firemen and enginemen for the past 26 years. He has been a memi- ber of the Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Engineers for 8 years. He is a member of the Independent Or- der of Odd Fellows, Moose, pe ae Modern Woodmen of America. is a trustee of the Odd Fellows. Henry Perrett has been a worker since boyhood, and his interests have always been with the working people. He has always been for the Square deal to every man in every walk of life. He is married, his family consisting of a wife and two Los Angeles will tell you that, despite its excele lence of service and cul- sine, Gates Hotel rates are no higher than those of other good hotels.

The probability is that if congress were to pass a law making expression of pacifistic opinions or the utterance of ridiculous “slush fund” charges a criminal offense, the Messrs LaFollette and Wheeler—in case of their indictment and con- viction, at any rate—would not hesitate a mo- ment about filing an appeal with that much ma- ligned (by them) institution called the supreme court, every point.

Se ee FIGUEROA~-.$1X TH Pythians Warned One of the cornerstones upon which the great fraternal order of Knights of Pythias is builded is love of country. It was founded in the dark days of the civil war and its teachings partake of the spirit of the days when one was for or against the constitution of the republic and the guarantees of Hberty and exist- ing order. The members of © this great order for the jurisdiction of New York state met at Saratoga Springs the other day. Two thou- sand five hundred delegates and members of the grand lodge were as- sembled in the convention. Among other addresses delivered in the early sessions was one by 8. Stanwood Menken, president of the National Security League on “Pres- ent Day Problems of a Citizen" in which the speaker said in part: « “Because the primary duty of the hour is the study of politics and re- lated problems, I want to present, in ar entirely non-partisan spirit, cer- tain. considerations to you. The high character of the nomineés of ~ ~ —-Corey in Denver Times. both major panties for president make it possible to deal with the subject calmly. “In my presentment, there will be no suggestion of advocaey of one or the other directly or indirectly. My purpose is to refer to the impending assault on both candidates and of the direct attack on the basic, prin- ciples of our government by Mr. La- Follette, a procedure which imperils all you hold dear and ts intended to shatter the theorv of government under which you live and your coun- try has prospered. Your full. un- derstanding of the issues to be rais- ed and your reply are vital to the public. “I need not remind you of the fact that we have heretofore had two parties in political action in this country and that both parties have at all times adhered to the Const!- tution, and that, while we have been negligent and made_ » in the main the system has sulted us and under it we have grown great.

In the world war he espoused the cause of Germany. He has a large German-speaking constituency. He opposed the declaration of war, its financing through Liberty bonds or its conduct through that measure of world salvation,’ compuisory unt versal military service. He did more to embarrass the government and delay action than any one German. After opposing vengeance on Ger- ™mapy and stating that we ‘haven't @ leg to stand on in support of our war declaration,’ he was denounced by the legislature of his own state by a vote of 26 to 3, because he was for Germany and against the United States. “It is this man who stands ready and able, unless you and other think- ing men prevent it, to create con- fusion the worst confounded {n No- vember.” Sauce for the Gander “One of the curiously striking huli marks or idiosyncrancies of advo- vates. of reform by uprooting, of | millennium by overturn and destruc- tion, is their own cocksureness and their demand for immu from any criticism.” Says the “Son. Tran- script. ‘Prating against autocracy, they manifest its spirit quite as much as did any king who in older days said, “I am the state.” More than once it has been noted both how domineering has been La Fol- lette as a boss in Wisconsin as well as how reactionary in essence aro some of his doctrines. It’s been much the same abroad. The masters of Russia have simply carried this jealous insolenc of Prerogative to absurdly extreme lengths. All along an outstanding trait of such apostles of upheaval has been this insistence on their being dead right even when in prac- tice their Marxian projects were breaking down, when they them. selves were making “economic. re treats.” And it’s been so with some of the ler expoucnta so much milder that they have flirted only in a timorous and limited way with Moscow. . Witness the attitude of MacDon- ald in Britain as the campaign there draws to its swift close.
