Senator Albert J. Beveridge sends his Portland speech for President Roosevelt to read. Beveridge assures Roosevelt that those detracting from the constructive work of his administration will not succeed and that the credit for the Republicans’ successes in the upcoming election is due to Roosevelt. In conversations with businessmen throughout the country, Beveridge has learned that many desire change to the tariff schedules.
