THE DEMOCRATIC ATTITUDE

A fair example of what the attitude of the democratic party in congress is, and what it would be under full con- trol has been given by the action of those representatives in congress rela- tive to certain measures of vital in terest to the entire country. They have manifested a spirit of revenge, and are holding steadfastly to it re- gardless of the best interests of the country simply to block measures be- cause the president has the temeritv to veto bills which are not in ac- cordance with good judgment and would prove disastrous to the country, It is to the credit of the president that he is using his veto power for nc better evidence of his desire for safe and sane government could be asked for. From the view of the public who are being called on to judge who has their interests most at heart it re- quires no long deliberation to deter mine that the democrats are doing more harm to their own cause and Instead of putting the president in the hole, which they desire, it is conclus- lively showing that the country has a man al the helm who is ever alert and watchful for it's safety and it's best in- terests.
 The responsibility to the people is being ignored by the democratic rep resentatives in their determination to send through congress and enact into laws measures which reek with re- venge and pure political bias in de- termination to have their own way re- gardless of the country.

The democrats of the house failed by about 50 votes in overriding the presidents veto of the legislative, ex- ecutive and judicial supply bill, and the bill fails. The duty of congress is to send a bill to the president which he can sign, or, failing that, to make some adequate provision for salaries, pensions, etc, etc. This last will have to be done or the democrats might as well run down some steep place into the sea as their prototypes did of old ttme.-Bridgepor Standard.
