rates were high, could be reme- j
died if justified by proper appli
cation to the tariff commission, j

Democratic national executive
commission, said: “The Grundy
hill is thus made the issue at the
omming congressional campaign.”

opening for a politcal campaign j
between Democrats, western Re- !
publicans and Independents, ar
