see taxes diminished" No tax is so
disastrous as the depreciation of the
currency. Yet your Democratic par
ty proposes to convert the entire ns-
tional debt into currency by paying
it in greenbacks. This would reduce
it's value to nominal figure or de-
stroy it altogether, so deranging the
business of the country as to bring
ruin on millions of people. Your
Democratic party would have Pres
ident assume the rod of dictator,
prop himself up by standing army,
and defy the laws which he is sworn
to enforce. Such course would call
your sons or yourselves again into
the field to fight, willing or unwilling,
and would drain the country of count
less millions of treasure to be de-
stroyed in civil wars. Can you af-

The Press has reported majorities
from thirty-eight couLteis in Penn

iority of 1924, and claims that on
a full count this will be increased to
$4,000. In the Philadelphia Repre-
sentative Districts both Republican
State Senators and twelve Assembly
men, out of eighteen, are elected
The estimate for the State is that thir-
ty>four Democrats and ffty-seven
Republicans were elected to the AS
sembly, leaving nine others doubtful.
The Democrats carry the Third Con
gressional District by Isl majority,
and probably the Fifth District by
similar small maiorities in the city
wards. Taylor. Republican. has 26S
majority, but this will be overbalan-
ced by Bucks county, which gave 6l6
Democratic majority last year. Both
these districts will be contested -
