Cummins Replies to Cannon in Chicago Tariff Clash
Senator Albert B. Cummins of Des Moines spoke to the Marquette Republican club in Chicago, arguing that insurgent Republicans sought to apply the party platform on tariff revision and urging an independent tariff commission to scientifically determine cost of production at home and abroad before any decisive duties are set. He criticized Cannon and allied leaders, defended the insurgents, and warned party unity hinges on adhering to the 1908 platform’s protection principles.
