TRUE TO LIFE
No book is true to life, some think, unless it teeters on
the brink of trouble and despair, unless it penetrates the
slums and pictures criminals and bums, and outcasts
ammahmm living there. Produce a book that’s hard
SOSOM to read because it makes your bosom
make hie position clear, adding:
"I stand for the protection of the
livestock industry in my state, and
for the protection of th. sagar beet
industry. I favor a tariff on wool,
meat, hides and sugar beets.' I am in
favor of a tariff based on scientific
principles and I believe in a non-par-
tisan tariff board which will have in
view at all times ths cost of pro-
duction at home and the protection
essential to American labor. This is
the attitude of the lute Senator A. A.
Jones, and is ths correct view of the
tariff situation.”
On the subjects of reclamation and
conservation, Mr. Morrow called at-
teation to the fact that four of his
bills providing for compacts with ad-
joining states, are now on the calen-
dar, having been approved by the
interior department and favorably re-
ported out by the committee on re-
clamation. These compacts, he said,
will protect all the waters of the
state, and thus insure future deyal-
opment
Mr. Dow amplified the brief state-
ment made at Banta Rosa on Mon-

day. “The first lady of the land"

There she was joined by John, who

Willem B. Borah of Idaho, continued
his campaign for the Republican na-
ttonal ticket here last night in the
convention hall when, three months
ago, he completed the ticket by nom-
lnation of Senator Charles Curtis m

The Idaho senator referred to the
Eighteenth amendment as the Demo-
