DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT
Record of the
1914 Democratic Legislature

tNCOOlO VI IA
1914 Democratic Legislature

NOTHING WAS DONE to fulfill
the pledge to provide needed support

tive children into the world"
NOTHING WAS DONE to fulfill

bles.
NOTHING WAS DONE to fulfill

NOTHING WAS DONE to fulfill
the pledge to economic in the ad-
ministration of the affairs of the
State. Expenses were increased.
NOTHING WAS DONE to fulfill
the pledge to favor the enactment of
such legislation as will conserve the
constitutional rights of labor.
The finances of the State were han
died with almost incredible incompe-
tency and reckless extravaganza.
$700, 900 more was spent than the in
come of the State, which added to the
mismanagement and laundering of the
two previous years of Democratic adj
ministration, increased the deficit of
the State to more than $1,000, 900.
The State treasury was turned over
to the Democrats in 1911 after a num-
Der of years of wise and careful Re-
publican administration with a free
balance of more than $2,000,000. This
vast balance was wiped out and the
State plunged into a debt of $1,000,-
900 during the riotous manipulation
of funds by Democrats that was
brought to a halt by the voters when
a Republican administration was call
ed back in 1915.

"Why whip the devil around a
stump?" demands George w. Perkins
in discussing the tariff question with
Secretary Redfield. Why, indeed?
Why not all join in voting the ticket
of the Republican party, the only par
ty that ever did establish any kind of
a tariff commission?

Marshal Won Hindenburg to take
Dvinsk this week and then march on
Riga in order that these two import
ant cities may be used as winter quar-
tiers for the Germans, according to
statements made by Teuton prisoners
to Russian officers.
The resumption of the, fierce Ger
man attacks on the Dvina river front
is attributed to the kaiser's instruc-
lions.
Recent setbacks suffered by the
Russians on their left wing have cost
them much of the ground they re-
gained in vo1hynia when they de-
feated the Austrians in the Lutsk-Dub-
no-Rovno triangle of fortresses. Ger
man re-enforcements sent to aid the
Austrians have helped the latter re-
capture positions in the Lutsk region
and to advance along the left bank OF

i one of the defenses OF Rovno.
Heavy Austro-German artillery Is

that the Teuton troops aim to cross
