SHIVELY AGAIN.
Directs Campaign In Indiana Against Tariff Commission Idea. Senator Shively rises in Indiana to denounce the tariff commission. This, in Indiana, where the tariff commission congress was held, and where business men, workingmen and farmers alike agree that the tariff commission idea Is both fair and sensible. Republicans, and most Democrats, —who believe thoroughly in the tariff commission proposal,—were amazed by Senator Shively’s announcement. Sam Ralston had proclaimed against the tariff commission, but no one paid much attention to that. Senator Shively, however, as leader of the Democratic tariff campaign, absolutely commits his party to the making of a fight against the greatest progressive proposition suggested in this country in a decade. Senator Shively commits the absent and exiled John W. Kern to a fight against the tariff commission. He commits Governor Marshall to the same fight. It is the old,, reliable Joe Bailey doctrine, right over again. Senator Shively agrees with Joe Bailey that the tariff commission, not only is unconstitutional, but is an unmitigated evil and menace, because it will bring about fair play for the people. Joe Bailey agrees with the great trusts for whom he labors day and night, that the tariff commission plan of fair play must never be carried through, if the trusts can prevent it. Joe Bailey speaks through Senator Shively in Indiana. Who will listen ? ( State Chairman Stokes Jackson also Is against the tariff commission.
