July 23 Benator Cummins of Iowa in a epeech before a rhutauqun audience here lust nlgh. asserted that the pledge of tho republican national platlorm for a re vision of the tariff was not fulfilled and that Senator Aldrk-h and Speaker (Gannon and others who took the lead in framing the tariff'blll had never at tempted, and never Intended to keep thn, pledges of the party. ' , Senators Cummins came , Into the home of one of the Kansas' regular congransmen, Representative James M.. Miller to give this message. Cannon and Aldrich, he declared Biin other stand-pat leaders were driving the nation Into soclalium or co-operative control and away from the undivided or competitive theory, "I am Ian exponent of the progres. Hive. republican Idea," he said, "I be lleve that the republican party can he made the most progressive party on earth, the one that does things for the good of the whole country, but th special Interest man must be eliml nuted. That is my sermon. "Speaker Cannon and Senator Aid rich .are driving the country Into socinllKtic form of government in promoting the cause of monopolies, They are unwilling to take measure to prevent the rapidly growing tend enny toward monopoly, or to disinter grate, and destroy the monopolies al ready In existence whereby the price of commodities are fixed not by th usual laws of demand, but the will of a group of four." . After stating that . there were n technical promises In the platform of ' the reuubllcan convention to r vise the tariff downward or upward, but ' that it simply pledged Itself to make such revision of the tariff as would equalize the cost of production here and abroad and make competl tion possible in this country In many linos. Senator Cummins said: "It was the'duty of congress make this revision. Congress did not do It. It did not even attempt to do it Under the leadership of Cannon and Aldrich the tariff was revised without the slightest heed to the cost ot production anywhere. , It is of n avull to reduce the duties on any commodity. If the tariff Is left so hlg that the producer can maintain his price by keeping Out competition even make his prices higher tha before and still have lower duties. Some duties were reduced, but not so It would be noticed among people tn any way because there was no effort made to get at productive cost of th article. . . In many rases the charges were left so high that the price on many articles was Increased In the face of reduced tariff, and because the domes tin manufacturers were not afraid competition. "During all the long debate on the tariff bill, Senator Aldrich never at tempted to apply the standard ot the republican platform pledge. He an his followers openly and enntemptti ouHly repudiated every word of that platform pledge. "It was an open and explicit repu dlatlon of our platform, and a pervcr slon of the protective theory. I a not an Insurgent republican, If It said that I am tnsurglng against th republican national platform. I am Insurglng against men of the Cannon Aldrich stripe, men who ai openl violating the pledges of the party, and are advancing the causa of monopo ulsllc control of Industry." JAMES A.

DOES JUDGE JAMES E.BOYD APPEAR FEEBLE THESE DAYS? Some of the Butler Contingent Seem to Think so and That There May Yet Be an Opening for Settle. Special, to The Oazette-News. Washington, July 23. Since the tight against the organization people t present In command of the repub lican forces In the state, has been conducted mainly from this city It has not been difficult to get a lino: on the program as arranged by Mr. Butler for hlmaelf and Mr. Morehefcd. Butler's activity has for Us main ob ject the election of Mirehead as gov ernor two years hence, and Butler's coincident return to the1 annate, to succeed Mr, Simmons, this time as a republican. Butler likes life here, -while Morehead cheerfully admits that the glamor of the capital suits him all the way to the ground. He there fore svmpathlr.es with Butler and la willing to give htm all the aid and comfort possible. The program of course calls for the reappointment of District Attorney Holtou and the ap pointment later of Mr. Settle to suc ceed Judge Boyd. Of course, as mat ters stand right now, no one could succeed Judge Boyd, but the slate makers have persuaded - themselves that, the judge is looking somewhat feeblo, and they hope there will ono lay be an opening.
