Davis declares tariff law unconstitutional in Indiana rally
In Indianapolis and Lafayette on October 13 John W Davis Democratic candidate deemed the Fordney-McCumber tariff bill unconstitutional. He argued the act gives the President power to raise or lower taxes by up to 60 percent without congressional approval, calling it a dangerous surrender of powers and a return to old yokes. He urged honesty and economy in government and praised Senator Samuel M. Ralston's record.
