a Large Crowd

ilceIn bhVuiu llVe up 10 tneir promises
and that officeholders should deliver
the goods The Democrats promised
that If put in power they would pass
a bill providing for the election of
senators by vote Of the people. For
i6 long, uninterrupted years the presi-
dent, the house and the senate were
all Republicans, yet they have never
made such a promise. With the Dem
ocrats in power the bill passed by a
vote Of 297 for and II against and the
Democrats delivered the goods as
promised Sixteen Of the number vot-
Ing against the bin we're Republicans
and the seventeenth was Democrat
from Chicago. Aren't you sorry for
those fellows suffering from Tafitis?
No wonder they are quarreling with
the Teddyitis folks. Don't you think
II about time that we put our arms
around those Teddyitis people and
just bring them into the folds Of warm

bIllg ! could not ihina but that lhis
genial president would take sides wlth
the people who feed US In time ii
peace and lay bare their breasts and
die for this glorious country IN time
Of war. The president said be would
take the matter under advisement Inl
a few days his secretary announced in
the house that he had a message ia
writing from the president Of the
United States. The message was read
by the clerk and stated that the presi.

~ Is pathetic to me to see the pres.

would have helped them. and join
hands with the lumber trast solely
for the purpose Of obtaining campaign
contributions

his signature and made this a law.
The kind words Of the Republican

comforting to a certain extent, but
the kind deeds Of the Democratic
party are far more acceptable To the
American people,
