ais will iniure the Republicans more than the
lican States and districts for the most Part. The
grievances that have originated the dread cry
of Communism in this country are the direct
and legitimate results of publican rule and
| Republican iniquity. There is no reason for

has been able to prevent further evils, not to
correct or remedy old evils.

repeal of bad laws, the enactment Of wise 4 meas
