what more can you reasonably expect? Surely
you would not suppose for moment that
any Catholic individual or concern would
spend good money to help along the publica-

higher price than the Canadian and South
American farmers pay, in order that the Steel

nothing more. That is nothing great to make
such hell of fuss over, is it? You say

THE only candidate for the Presidency
who offers definite remedy for existing
evils is Oscar Underwood of Alabama.
Mr.. Taft talks more than anybody else, but
never says anything. He deals in platitudes
and general1t1es. His speeches sometimes re-
semble those OF free trader; but his official
acts are always those Of stand-pat protec-
Zionist. His election as a downward revision
list, followed by his signature and eulogy of
the Payne-Aldrich bill constitute one Of the
most brazen betrayals Of the people that ever
disgraced our political record.
His refusal to sign the Farmers Free-list
bill and the wooden bill were further proof
that he is the enemy Of the common people
and henchman of Special Privilege. No
amount of travel and gable, smiling and
hand shaking can obliterate the damning
facts Of his lifelong career.
In eleven years, this man has travelled
280,468 miles, on public business and at public
expense; and not mile of all that amazing
sum total resulted in benefit to his country.
