The Republican candidates for congress in this state for a few days labored umiffln the hallucination that the farm commission raft would float them all into office. But they are now finding out that the raft is rotten and that it is rapidly going to pieces.

Now that son-in-law Longworth has “come out" against Cannon, the latter will not only admit that Senator Burton was right in calling Longworth a “snob but he will add empha; sizing adjectives. Air. Cannon also declares that Longworth is a mere “windmill’’ who moves and speaks when sopie one else blows. ' .

The Beveridge organization and the anti-saloon league have been trying to make it appear for several weeks that if Mr. Bryan speaks in Indiana during the campaign he must, perforce, support the Republican county . option law. But this was absurd. Mr. Bryan declares that the, liquor question presents itself in different ways in different states. When he speaks in Indiana he will advise Democrats to support their platform plank on this sub-

ject on the ground that it is the best temperance proposition before the people of Indiana. And it is.

Senator Smoot of Utah (Mormon A|x)stle> made a speech in the senate in the interest of the "American Protective Tariff League." which is made up of the principal beneficiaries of the Payne-Aldrich law. This speech, at the' request of the league, is being sent out through the mails free of charge under Smoot’s frank. Just another dip into the people’s pockets.

It will be remembered that when Senator Beveridge made the assertion that the, tariff commission idea was his child, Senator Aldrich (of Payne-Aldrich tariff bill fame) rose up and declared that he himself was the father of the commission; plan. In cases of doubt about parentage it is not difficult to characterize the offspring. And this commission proposition is at least all of that. It is also what Mr. Bryan calls it—-a fraud, a delusion and a snare. It can do nothing to promote genuine tariff reform, but it can spend a lot of public money and delay a proper and sensible settlement of the question. ,
