the governor. when with an election

voice their sentiment in the selection

Republican Crisis.
HAS the Democratic adminiStra-
! ton fulfilled the promises made to.
the people two years ago. and has
lit acted in good faith, is the issue to
be determined. The present election
brings forth crisis in the history of
the Republican party. The election
of Democratic Congress this fall.
if so fortunate the result might
be, must necessarily be construed as
a vindication of the Democratic adj
ministration, because the cause which
inrecipitated the unhappy division OF
the Republican party two years ago
to the advantage of the Democratic
party and placed in power the repre-
sentatives of minority of voters,
no longer exist.

mocracy with all the Ingredients and
superabundance of free trade
mixed in with it, and after this ex-
perience the Democratic politician

another dose of the same poison. u

Progressives Returning.
Governor HATFIELD said that the
Democratic leaders hope to keep
away again from the Republican
party thousands who voted the Pro
gressive ticket in 1912 in order to
retain its hold on the reins OF gov
eminent, but that the men who
.made possible the triumph of Del
mocracy in 1912 are not in sympathy |
with the principles of the Democratic |
party-they know of it's traditional

that election has shown that the
great majority OF those who left the
Republican party two years ago feel
accomplished and are back In the
ranks of the party OF Lincoln-the
party OF the whole nation and the
party of prosperity"
He recalled the promises OF Dem
ocratic speakers, Including Mr.. VIII
son and Mr.. Bryan. that they would
reduce the high cost of living by
the elimination of the protective tar
iff, which they said was the whole
cause. True, they have lowered the
tariff" he said They have placed
the American working man on diff
ferent competitive basis with the
poorly paid foreign labor and through
this act of commercial treason, idle
ness and poverty have been substt-
tuted in hundreds of mills whence
Formerly came the smoke of industry.
and the number of idle men has
reached the highest point since last

Democrats Deceive People.
THE people were deceived when
they were told that another tariff bill,
based on the starin for revenue sys-t
tenn. which the Democrats proposed
to enact, would give them cheaper
food and cheaper clothing. How
gross was the deception and how In
sincere those who worded such pleas
must be apparent now to every level
headed American. Business has been
to an astounding extent,
but the high cost OF living has con-
tinued to soar to heights rarely at
tanned since that Underwood-Sim-
mons cheap living bill was placed
IN effect.
"The Democrats; true to their
promise, put forth their solution. but
