DEMOCRATIC TRAITORS IN THE
SENATE
But for the traitors of Senators
! O'Gormans Of New York, Hitch
cock Of Nebraska, Camden of
Kentucky. Hard wick OF Georgia,
Baukhead of Alabama aud Varda-
man of Mississippi, the Bill would
have already passed the Senate
aud would have been law before
now. This Bill will ba an epoch
making act Oh the part of this
Cos ment and great Mer-
chant Marine will spring up in a
very short time Secretary of
Commerce, Bed field stated recent
~ that this country coald add one
hundred million (s100, 600, ,000)
per month to our exports If We
had the ships to carry the goods
Our Manufactured products, and
farm products are crying londiy
for means of transportation
across the water. The people of
Georgia, Alabama aud Mississippi
who are suffering because their
cotton cannot be sold should write
10 their Senators. Hardwics, Of
Georgia, Bankhead Of Alabama
and Vasdaman of Mississippl aud
tell them what they think of the
betrayal not only of President
Wilson but Of Tue suffering sonih
| for blocking the Bill OF President
Wilson, whereby their cotton
crops couid be sent abroad and
sold. Kentnckians should also
write to Senator Camden aud tell
him what they think of his act
along with the other traitors when
the great Kentucky Tobacco crop
is seeking It's usual transportation
into foreign countries and there
are no ships to carry 1t.
THE REAL GROUND OF OPPOSITION.
The people of the United States
wonid feel ashamed, if they knew
of the brazen hypocrisy of about
half of the United States Senaf-
ore Not single Senator who is
fighting the Ship Bill has stated
bis real reasons. The real reason
for the opposition Is this: If the
United States goes into the Ship
Business and makes success of ii
AS they undoubtedly will, these
Senators who represent the mil
iionaires and sonlless corporations
(instead of he people, realize
that to own the ships wonld be
the first step towards Govern
ment Ownership Of he railroads.
they fear the first step. This is
what ls surely coming aud nothing
can stop it The Government is
unning the Parcel Post for the
people instead of stock holders
and carrying goods for one fourth
If what the Express Co, charge
aid so likewise ID few years The
aiIroads viii automatically be
taken over and run In the interest
Of the people instead Of the finan
Tcial pirates.
CHANGE IN SENATE RULES DE
MANDED.
The United States Senate mi
some respects IL colossal nuis
ance. Under the present rules of
he senate, any senator can talk
as often as be wants end as long
as be wants on any subjeci and
ak it to death. This rule Of un-
limited debate, has no place in
these rapidly moving times. The
country demands change III
these rules. A majority OF the
Senate favor the Ship Bill, but |
the aMinority" who are the tools
Of the wealthy corporations afel
iiibnsterlng against Lie Bill, thus
preventing it from coming to a
vote. The country demands a
change IN these rules so that the
Senate can limit debate, aud thus
become 4 business body, instead
Of an old fogy club
