Curtis Takes Higher Tariff Plea to West Ho Protection for Agriculture from Democrats, Says Nominee Through Three States Sheridan. Wyo., Sept. 21. Sen ator Curtis carried the republicar protective tariff campaign into thf cattle ranges in an address here to night, blaming the "flood" of farm importations last year for much of the farmers' troubles. Ilenewing bis pledge of higher tar iff rates on agricultural importations the senator questioned the democrats attitude on tariff and declared that Governor Smith "apparently" has the Underwood bill of 1913 in mind as a tariff measure. "Then, I need not spend time," he declared in a prepared address "to convince you that agriculture will receive no tariff protection from the democrats. Listen to some of the pro ducts on the free list in the Under wood bill: Bacons, hams, buckwheat cattle, corn, cream, eggs, hogs, lambs lard, milk, potatoes, rye, sheep, and goats, wheat and wool. Our tarir rates must be raised to shut out for eign imports which congest our mar kets and every avenue and channc? of trade." Reaching Sheridan late in the day the senator "crossed Nebraska and South Dakota in .coming into Wyom- Ing. He appeared on the back plat- ... form at stops in all states and let' the train at Edgemont, S. D., to speak to a crowd In the railroad yards. He talked high tariff and Herbert Hoover at these places, also, and was given a good han dby his audiences. World-Herald. Your ad in the Journal will be read, and they sure do get results.
