WASHINGTON. D. G.. April 20
The day of reckoning has come.
The legislative history of two years
of Democratic rule was completed
March 4. Those two years have been
marked by one or the most active
periods of law making this country
has ever seen. With house ready
and able to execute his DEGREES down
to the last word and with a working
majority in the senate. President VIII
son took the oath of office March 1.
1913. With prophetic eagerness he
summoned congress- in extra session
month later. With the exception Of
six weeks of respite last fall the party
machinery has been in operation ever
since. grinding out experimental laws
that affect every phase OF our social
and commercial life.
What does study of that record
show?
1T dlscloses the fact" says
student OF political and economic con
dttions, that during that time the
Democratic president has signed more
crude, imperfect and nuGatory laws
than ever were written during the
