See. Majority wiped out.

Indications point to-day 10 the obliter-
alton Of the present Democratic majority
IN Congress. There Ia no longer the least
doubt OF sweeping Republican gains IN
every quarter of the country.
The people are dissatisfied with Demo
cratic incompetency. They are weary OF
Democratic experiments. They are tired
Of Democratic receptions. There IL good
reason for this.
The American citizen has Jared poorly
both at home and abroad Industry is
stagnant. business IL demorallzed. labor
is unemployed. The people are ready for
the restoration Of the principle of pro-
lection advocated by william Mckinley
under which industry thrived and the peo-
pc prospered
The Democrats in Congress have been
guilty Of gross extravaganza. The money
they nave spent with profiigate waste has
come from the constituents OF the very
men sent TO Congress TO conserve the ma
ions wealth and administer Its fiscal ar
fa 'rs economically
The Democratic Administration has
embarked on a policy OF paternalism un-
eqddlled ever before IN this country. The
Democrats claim Jefferson as their patron
saint. yet at the same time they are bury
ing even the memory OF his principles
deeper and deeper by executive usurpa-
ton Of the legislative function.
