For many years during both presi-
Dental and congressional cam
paigns Republican and Demo
cratic committees have Issued Sc
called campaign Textbooks. The
character OF these publ ica lions
rNmains much the same year aft
err year. Republican textbooks
have made prominent the record
OF the party. the legislation en-
acted and the mplishmcnts
Of the administration Facts and
figures arc given from official
and authoritative sources. In
short. Republican textbooks
have been registers Of party
achievement as indicating n rea-
son for continuance in power
on the other hand. Democratic text
books have had little or no party
record TO chronicle and heir
psges have been largely filled
with fault-finding accusations
and Misrepresentation. with
promises OF what would be at
! tempted II the party were put
| in control Of the government Z
But their promises even are
threatening. as they are Tor the
most part pledges 20 destroy Zee
publicanism or the result Of re
publiCanism. In fact. a Demo
b cratic textbook is much like the
prospectus OF a general wreck
ing concern
The Republican campaign text book
should be I'm the hands Of every voter
I'm the United States. especially those
who desire the facts and are sufil.
GENTLY intelligent to assimilate them
d when presented in clear and compre-
e hensive manner.
