Of Congress, these investigations
would never have been attempted

nc comhincs Of CAPITAL that have been
rohbing the people in violation of the
antitrust law. should be brought TO
hook that is Just one more than ever
would have been brought to its knees
under Republican administration.
For this then, the peorle of this
country regardless OF politics, are
under Obligation to the Democrat,
majority in The House OF Represen-
taivcs for this work. And. no mat

they never intend to turn back until
the field is sown and the harvest
reaped In the interest of the people
mix and mingle with Representa-
tives in Congress every day. and /
know the temper of those Democrats
mp there and they mean business
Many of these combines have made a
litter fight in every way they know
now. out all to no purpose because
the Democrats have kept STRAIGHT on
and refused TO either be bpughf by
promises or bullGozed by threats
The Democracy Of the country MAY
well be proud of the record that the
SiNty-second Congress has made and
Us making. and II they hope 10 see the
Ifull fruition Of all this Democratic
work they will continue them in
power, not only in the House but
give them the Senate and the prasi
dency next November.
