Mr.. ROD[NBERGS[E
FOR c. Q. ?.
Illinois Representative Declares
Republicans Will Garry
Country in 1915.

Washington, oct. IA. Represents
Give William A. Rodenberg Of Illinois
has arrived in town for the coming
session Of congress. Mr.. Rodenberg,
after serving five terms in the House,
was defeated in 1912 by the detection
of bull. moose votes, but was elected
in 1914 to the Sixty-tourtl congress.
He thinks the republicans r in for
a big victory in 1916.
&c is MO secret that the domestic
policies o. the administration have
been a total failure, and 1t Is very ap-
parent that the democratic party lead
ersl are striving to divert the puo.ic
mind from tae real issues that will
confront them in the nexG' campaign
said Mr.. Ftodenberg today.
San attempt is being made to: place
a halo Of glory around the brow OF
the president for keeping us cut OF
the European conflict. This will fall.
While we are willing to give proper
credit to the president for his efforts
to preserve neutrality, me deserves no
such reward as a reelection, when ne
and his party are responsible for hard
times for the working men, the mer'
chant and the manufacturer.
Conditions Not Satisfactory.
"Internal conditions in the middle
west are far from satisfactory, with
the single exception Of the industries
that are directly concerned in the
manufacture OF munitions Of war. Bu-
siness is demoralized and a feeling
OF uncertainty and insecurity Pre-.
walls among the manufacturers.
There is ess employment for the ia.
boring man, and the poorer the people
the harder the road they have had to
travel under the present administers
ton. I;
These men who have been HURT.
/ whose families have had to suffer
through the collapse Of the demccra;
.ic premise of more labor, higher
wages and Va reduced cost Of living
are the majority Of voters in the coun.
Try. They are intelligent and will not
be fooled by the situation that has
arisen out Of the European war. No
effort. is being made to minimize the
efforts Of the president to steer an
honorable course for the nation In
lealing wiul the European situation,
but the president is simpy carrying
out the almost unanimous demand OF
the American people that we keep out
and hands off. l dare say there Is on.
ly a small part Of 1 per cent Of the
population that has the slightest de-
sire that we enter the conflict.
Certainly it is In easy matter fol
the president to do. what the Ameri
can people want.
Policy Toward Mexico.
"Eut in measuring up the achieve
ments Of the administration in: its dip
lomatic handling of the European 81
tuation we must parallel it with the
Mexican situation. In dealing with
Mexico the policies Of the administra
tlon are universally condemned in
the middle west. 1t is to be hoped
that the --latest policy-for the admin
istration has been most a%crc'3alc In
changing it's attitude-will bring
peace to our sister of the south.
1T seems to ne that the diploma
cy that has been followed in deaiins
with Mexico the last three years has
been patterned after the antics of thu
Mexican tumibling bean.
THE American people have discov
cred one thing that IS patent to al
thinking people-that is that the dem
ocratic party mas not the capacity fc!
constructive legislation. The session
OF CONGRESS- that is ahct to convene
will have to do lots of tinkering tc
correct the evils of legislation of tht
past two years. For instance, ta.
