fact that the big cities voted against

The plan of the Democrats to sell
Panama canal bonds, on the pretext
that the proceeds are to be used to
bolster up the country's defenses, is
not likely to deceive the public. 1t is
well understood that the revenues are
far behind the expenditures and I'M
less something is done soon there will
be no money for running expenses
The people will stand for an issue of
bonds in time of peace because they
must, but how will they vote in 1916?
Probably no less powerful reason
than a vision of an empty treasury
could have caused the administration
to veer around, it has done, on
the matter of increasing the army
and navy. 1t is safe to predict that
after the bonds are sold there will be
no such increase as that outlined in
