SAYS WILSON is A FAILURE

ga vs. WILSON, IS A FAILUKE
The following from the pen of O. B. Coquitt Democrat an
Governor of Texas the we'll told and known by all VIII
know how read No Republican paper has made better
than this has speaker been able do the subject justice
Wilson the greatest failure in the history
presidency The South land literally flowing with milk
and honey has made the biggest and best crops its history and yet
because ncompentenc the charge of the
men its business FRUSTRATED its credit impaired and thousands
he admnstaon tariff law was pledged the of iv
ing contrary By putting materials the
free list and keeping protective tariff manufactured goods has
condemned American thousands and
has enabled the manufacturers getting their material cheaper TO
charge higher prices for their goods which they have done Hides were
free listed and shoes gone higher of virtually every
single similarly treated the administration tariff law The Amer
farmer less for his material the American wogman pays
for the finished product and both robbed enrich the pro-
eced manufacturing trusts and combines
"The administrations foreign policy has been imbeclle has al
lowed England to dictate conditions shipments to European
enabled the English pers rob the American cotton
growers of half the value of their crop
England stopped shipments until the English pners had
bought supply IL pound and stored in Texas and
other warehouses; Then England consented declare cotton not con-
band and followed day later Our government
weakly Engnds dctaon playing into the hands OF the
English spinner completely if this country English Vaa
"The administrations repeal of the Panama canal tolls exemp
violation of the pary national platform was another weak
surrender England If free tolls for American ships had not
been repealed hundreds of Amecanowned ships flying foreign
flag would have under the American flag get the benefit
of exemption and would today have American merchant
marine competent to carry goods to foreign markets We
have such merchant Marine and supply it the Wilson ad
mnaon proposing to spend the taxpayers money buying
subsidized national shipping service.
"The WisonBan management of the Mexican affair has been
egregous failure They landed American army at Vera
Cruz to force salute the flag and have brought back
without getting the salute They ask congress appropriate
$5OOOOeto pay the expenses of that ridiculous expedition For
what? What did accomplish 1t set all Mexico alame against
the Americans only in Mexico but in Texas where all along
the north bank of the Rio Cnde there are ten excans or one
American.
~The administrations antitrust laws bareaced fakes SO
far protecting the people from trust oppression concerned
These laws please nobody we'll they do the Standard OIL the
steel and other great trusts
believed first that the federal banking act was the
administrations meroou achievement but national bank
er tell going prove failure The control OF the sys
tenn in practice appears in New York City instead OF
Washington
eel am fully convinced the national election of 1915 will end
the Democratic regime The policies of the Democratitc ma
tona administration wholly failed either to curb monopoies
or to lower the of living for the people, and they have ma
teray contributed deprive millions of wage earne OF en-
