rather tell the truth about mysei1 imam
lie about my opponents

record proves II. l am making very rev
promises. My. opponents are making az
the promises because they have nothing
else to make. / do things, and never
talk about them. except when am a
candidate. Then II is my duty to talk
about them. because ! am rendering an
account OF my stewardship to the people.

holders. / am n servant Of the people, and
always know my place.

Democrats would pass through Congress
a general parcels post bill far better than
the mutilated ono which hs managed tc
put through the last Congress.
Martin H.. Glynn. Mr.. suffers running
mate, took a shot at the Republicans
DENYING their contention that the Demo
cratic party was responsible for levyins
direct tax. He based his denial on IN,
report of the last Republican Controller
Clark Williams. which declared that thu
time had arrived when the state, TO meet
it's current expenses, would have TO levy
direct tax or find new methods OF in
direct taxation.
"A Republican Controller fixed the re
sponsibillty OF a direct tax on tho
Republican party and the Republican
party cannot get away from Mr. Will
lams's accusation" Mr.. Glynn asserted.
