within the last few days the
Democratic speakers and some of
their press have been putting forth
the insane arguments that one lone
member OF Congress cannot change
things. Nobody is so foolish as to
claim that one Congressman can ac-
complish a change single handed, but
those who are putting forth this ex
ceedingly amusing argument must
know that the people see the other
side Of IT, for next Tuesday there will
be similar elections held in about
$40 districts over the country. and

gan walls about the war in Europe
and Peace In America. Only in this
particular instance they become so
audacious that they accuse all Re-
publican congressman, prospective
or otherwise, of embarrassing the
President in his desires for peace.
There is a far greater war going On
in this country. and IL is being waged
through legislation forced through at
Washington by the administration.
shortcomings Of Underwood Bill.
mot only has the Underwood bill
reduced the revenues OF the gov
eminent, but it has failed to carry
out the promises of our opponents
that they held forth to the voters
two years ago. Instead of reducing
the cost of living, in spite of the
fact that twenty-seven products OF
the farmer were put on the free list,
Il has taken away the means of earn
ing a living from many thousands up
in Wilmington and other manufactur-
ing communities. In connection with
the operations of this bill the party
in power has placed a direct tax on
the people to make up the deficit
existing at the end of the first fiscal
year Of Democratic rule, which
amounts to S1O0.00O.0OO. In his
speech in Wilmington Thursday
night my Democratic opponent read
some bookkeeping figures into a
speech In an endeavor to show that
there was a surplus. In reality
there was a deficit as everybody
knows, and in order to make up this
deficit a War Revenue tax has been
placed upon a country and a people
who are at peace and not ut war.
This bill is the most colossal fraud
ever perpetrated on the American
people. because the necessity Of il
was foreseen before the European
war started.
"The effect of the Underwood bill
1 on the finances Of the Government Is
} exactly similar to the Mills bill, which
was passed during the first CLEVELAND
I administration. There was a deficit
but Grover Cleveland met it by bono

the last forty years. coming in Dem

passage Of their tariff legislation. We
warn the voters of the country that
our opponents are seizing upon this
war in the same way that the higl

House at Washington. &C, were seized
