WILSON
A TRUE DEMOCRAT
DEMOCRATS NOT TO BLAME FOR
APPROPRIATIONS MADE TO
FIT THE OCCASIONS.

Washington. March 2i-With two
bills absolutely eliminated there has
been more than one billion dollars
spent by this congress at this sess-
ion. Why shouldn't there be? AS
Tom Reid said after the congress
OF 1890
I'VE had to appropriate over one
billion dollars at one session This
is a billion dollars country. why
shouldn't we appropriate one billion
dollars?'
If 1t was a billion dollars country
in 1890 what is It in 1913?
Therefore, do not blame the dem
ocrats because they make appropria-
tions to fit the occasion and do not
cut down appropriations accordingly.
The democrats have ever been an
economical party and it Is one OF
the boasts Of democracy that the
democratic party hns never spent
more than 1t could afford 10 spend
in order that the appropriations
should be just as small as possible.
Whenever we have got to deny the
fact that this Is billion dollar coun-
try .as Tom Reid said, then we will
go backward, but the democrats now
in power insist that we shall go for
ward and we are doing so.
Mr.. President Wilson is seeing as
many democrats as he possibly can
and the different organizations of
democrats. and he is filling up each
cabinet position as fast as he pos
sibly can. DO not flame him for hes
itating to put Tom. Dick and Harry
into cabinet jobs after he has named
his own cabinet, for he cannot do
everything at once. The men he is
putting in those positions are all good
democrats and you can rely on that.

President Wilson is appointing men
who have been democrats all their
