Farmers and Representatives Should
Join Democrats On Revision
of Tariff.
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 9. (£>)—
When the question on the Iowa turn
over was submitted to the White
House spokesman, who ignored it yes
terday, in a derisive speech Senator
Harrison illicited no reply from Wat
son who Harrison said won his renom
ination by deserting Cal and Andy
and acepted Dawes as leader. Sen
ator Gerry and Congressman Oldfield
pronounced the defeat of Cummins a
sign his popularity is waning. Gerry
remarked the constituents rejected 4
administration senators. Oldfield de
clared “the administration has not
and will not enact a real farm relief.
The first step toward this end is for
western farmers and their represen
tatives to congress to join with the de
mocrats in the downward revision of
the tariff on things the farmer must
bury.” Harrison said Cummins, McKin
ley, Pepper and Stanfield “are able, ex
perienced and well fitted for their
work here. hTe only reason for their
defeat was they clung to Cal and
stood by too long. It was suggested
that Dawes and Watson might make
an agreement that one be president
and the other vice president.

'Robinson, commander of the United
States fleet, who will arrive aboard
the flagship, the Seattle.
Although the Ketchikan Commer
cial club had planned to provide quar
ters ashore for the personnel of the
air mapping expedition, the officers
and men will live in floating barracks
in the harbor.
Mapping of Revillagigreda Island,
on which Ketchikan is located, and
the back country of Southeastern Al
aska will provide accurate plats and
data on which plans for future devel
opment can be based.
Thirty-two separate cameras, for
various duties in connection with the
mapping and mosaic work, form the
technical equipment, said to be the
most complete equipment ever assem
bled for such work. It will be needed,
however, because the expedition itself
is the most comprehensive ever organ
ized by an aerial organization in the
world. The United States navy, assist
ed by the American camera industries,
is the only organization at this time
capable of extensive work in this
field.
