we need a tariff revision, bu*
who has advocated tariff revision
all the time that the farmers
were being mercilessly robbed
by the great corporations that
grew strong and powerful under
a protective tariff?
Was it your Republican con-
gressmen? Most assuredly it
was not. It wi»s the Democrats,
and those Democratic Congress
men from the Middle West were
the men whp advocated it most
vigorously.
We would like for you to con-
sider the inen and their meas-
ures who are candidates for Con-
gress in this district. We have
no time to spare to deal in per-
sonalities, and discussing frivol-
ous charges. Wo would have
you to ask yourself, which man
represents the things■ that will
best serve us?
Henry S. Johnston represents
a party that is pledged to bring
about u tariff reform, and it is lo
our interest as people of the
great producing West to send a
man to Congress, who is pledged
to the people to do all in his
power to cure tne Trust Evil
that threatens the very existence
of small industries and robs you

ing law, and will work to enact a
banking law that will meet the
approbation of the masses.
Weigh this matter carefully.

Resolved further that we con-

his henchmen are making to

In discussing the issues ot
the day let us first take up our
own state and ask ourselves the
question —would we be willing to
change from a State to a Terri-

We do not believe this record

They dont expect to give you

We believe that it is the best
for us in this part of U. S. to
