raittee OF the House OF Represen-
tsves of the United States, recon-
mends to Republicans at the present
TING and. he adds the following:
The European war and the temper
cry prosperity it has brought about
IN Epots is being used for all it is
worth to make Republicans forget
w-sfat was done to them" in 1912
Above all things this is the time not
to forget, but to remember We should
remember that the whole country was
prosperous and that all men We're
employed prior to 1912 We should
remember that the entire Republican
system. of pros sporty was attacked and
that we were charged with responsi-
,bility for the high cost of living and
for q great variety of economic evils
President Wilson came to. Congress
with direct message to back up
these charges. He did not m1nce
words. but declared emphatically that
tire progress we had made under the
protective tariff system must be de-
stroyed. In his Address from the
THRONE April s, 1913 Immediately
a4ter he had called Congress in ex-
tr5nrdinary session, he said:
