The proposition sounded psot,isss5
Sing; 50. when Election Da came
around, we said Vel Just giyes$t the,
old Democratic party q chance, and
see how its ideas will work out S;
twas not like the time " hen some
5ofus voted against blaine. There vas
n principle IN that This time VS.
voted Just for q change and We gave
she Democrats a clear field. We gave
them the Presidency. and We gave
them the Senate. and we gave them
the House of Representatiy 50 that
they could do just as they pleased
Well. it was their chance. They
had four years or it and The, record !q,
OF those four years Is something more
than campaign statement
Every living man who voted at that
election remembers. " hat happened
after 1t was over and the Democratic
party was placed III power. ies re-
members how the whole country wen
to ruin. How business houses failed al
how manufactures shut down ); how
banks burst like bubbles; how work
ing men earned no wac es, and how
those who held Investments drew no
dividends. He remembers how good
many honest men FED their families
from the charity of the soup Kitchens
instead of from the family market
basket, and all the other dreadful
things that happened to u.s. s5s.
The Democrats told us it wasn't
their fault. But the fact remains
that we paid a mighty high price for:|
ourafancy voting. And now the ques-3
ton is, Shall we try It again?
Al So how are we going to vote this. 4
year?
shall we Risk Disaster7
This year money is easy and bust
ness is brisk; there IS plenty of5worlSzti
TO DC and good wa SOS to earn, But
here is the Democratic party as king
US to put it into power again
Well, are we going to risk other I
-four years of disaster like those of$E
1926:
tits the same Democratic party now T
that it was twelve years ago; it hasSE
the same policy i { had then, and pref
the head of it. 8.
ty much the same set OF men are 1T /
Shall. We ri sktrying them again as
we did IL. 1892
Judging from what their leaders
say they still itch oftinker with the
tariff, but on other subjects they
don't seem to know their, own mind.
Their candidate says he believes In
gold money, and their leaders say
that they too have achanges Of heart
upon that question. But we observe
that the party managers have asked
Mr.. Bryan to solicit5Yot for them
from the stump. Has he also had q
change Of heart Or why is hes 4as
silver man, canvassing fora gold par
ty2 Or is tia silver party after all----S
only just with q gold plated head2
We all know what the Republican
party stands for, but what is he Dem
ocratic party for. anyhow
4 The fact is, it's Just the same old E
Democratic party it always was. and e
here you havefit in d nutshell
I Well, are we going to put it Into
power again? .5s5
Then the question is; how are We
going to vote this year,
Upon tn Threshold of a Splendid
3 Destiny. Ss $
Now. every true American believes
N his heart that this Nation is des.
lined to fulfil some high and mag;
lificent future in the world of man. &,
