man i'm his position.
1t was the typical calamity talk
Of the republican spellbinders at
liributing depression and hard
times, yet he failed to call atten-
tion to n single measure passed
by the democratic congress that
the republicans would repeal if
i'll power. In all of his talk
about the tariff law he failed to
lame a single schedule that the
republicans would dare change
if they had the power.
He gave President Wilson and
The democratic congress a clean
bill Of health for every measure
passed except two, claiming cred
it for himself for voting for and
helping to pass them.
The two that he said that he
voted against were the currency
bin and the repeal of the clause
eXempting American ships from
lpaying tolls passing. through the
Panama Canal.
The currency bill is admitted
by !inanciers, bankers, and bus
mess men regardless of party, as
the greatest remedial legislation
ever enacted. It's great merit, as
admitted by republicans and dem
ccrats alike is that it takes the
control of the currency out OF
Walla street and makes a panic
practically impossible. A large
iraioriiy of the republicans of
both the senate and the house, in
Hcluding both members of con-
gress from this state and Sena-
tor Borah, voted for the measure
and yet Mr.. Brady's vote was cast
against it for the reason, as he
said, he believed it a Wall street
measure.
His speech was disappointing
in that he did not touch upon the
tax question, the question above
all others that interests the peo-
pie of this state.
This question was completely
ignored by every speaker that
evening. Neither Captain Davis,
who was heralded to speak on
state affairs, or Mr.. Nelson, who
was to talk on county affairs, even
mentioned it.
Mr.. Brady had a great deal TO
say about the democratic war tax
hill which makes a man who de-
faults his check pay a stamp tax
Of twenty-five cents, but not a
word of the state and county tax
levy which is sixty per cent high
cr this year than last.
He accused Secretary McAdoo
Of showing partially in distri-
buting money to move crops, and
read a part of an article in the
Spokesman Review stating that
the amount to be furnished the
Spokane banks had been reduced
tc Si5O,O0O, but did not read the
balance of the article that stated
that the reason the amount had
been reduced was because the
bankers had stated that $4,000
was all they needed.
lie failed also to point out a
single instance in which a repub-
lican secretary of treasury had
furnished money to aid the
farmers in moving the crops.
The republican treasurers were
always too busy furnishing Wall
street with money for stock gam
, bling 90 have any thought for the
farmers crops.
Mr.. Nelson, who spoke first
! touched lightly on county mat
lers, he refused to make any
> pledges OF to state how he stood
on county division, wishing tc
wait until the vote was counted
! when he would be with the ma
r jorily
He intimated that he thought
