slight business depression which now
exists.
On the other hand, Democratic

on conclusive evidence that much of

faith Of the American people in

Herein lies the strength Of Domoc-
racy. The people will bo asked if
they want the Payne-Aldrich tariff
schedules restored. If they do not,
they will return to power the party
which destroyed it, They will be
asked if they want the old currency
system re-establishcd. If they do
not. they will return the party which
substituted for it the greatest piece
of constructive legislation enacted in
Il generation They will be asked If
they want peace with honor or war
with dishonor. II they want the
former they will elect Congress
who will uphold tho President S
policy in Mexico. They will be asked
if they approve the leadership of
Woodrow Wilson. If they do, they
will elect Congress in sympathy
with him.
Lastly. the people of this nation
will be asked il they want return
TO the times when trusts multiplied
and the lobby grew and the govern
ment and big business MIXED the
country in partnership and divided
the spoils, the one taking office and
the other taking swollen profits at
the expense of the people. If they
want the good old days" back, they
will vote to repudiatc the party in
power and send back to Washing
ton the representatives of Pcnrose-
ism. I.orimersm, Standard Oil, Wall
Street and all the old crew which
for so long ruled in Washington for
the few in the name of the many.
The answer the people will give TO
these questions cannot be doubted
y vote of confidence is certain. To
believe otherwise is to believe that
the country repudiates tariff reform,
currency reform. destruction Of the
lobby, sane trust legislation and
peace with the world.

Is now available to every man, woman
and child who may, by any possibility,
DO exposed to infection this season
before going away to the country, the
mountains or the Seashore. Insure your

IL Is not a dangerous nor even an

the good old principle that nothing is
