Mexico and who leads us in safety
through shot and shell and hell all
about Us you are incomparably safer

idential chair ready 10 order you

What Wilson Did.
Don't forget that Wilson's cool
head and steady hand have guided
US safely through whirlpools OF war
and panic, don't forget that his
policies have given our people
larger opportunities for well being
than ever before and don't forget
that you take a desperate chance
when you vote TO change our peace
and our prosperity from what you
and / know 10 be in safe hands in
TO the keeping of those who would
change all that has been done. No
living man knows so much OF the
complex conditions and the why's
and wherefOres Of them as Woodrow
Wilson and when you vote TO re-
elect him you vote for a continuation
OF peace. prosperity and home sweet
home"
Why it is that for the first time
within the recollection of any man
here we have no business scare and
calamity howl in this campaign ?
You know why IL is. II is because
the tariff has been so fairly re-
vised that manufacturers cannot
complain, for they have more or
ders than they can fill. The demo-
cratic tariff commission assures the
business world that the tariff ques-
ton shall no longer be used as a
party football by politicians.
Trade Commission.
The democratic federal trade
commission assures business men of
all classes that they cannot be i'm
posed upon by combinations OF big
business. The democratic banking
and currency law makes bankers
safe, makes depositors in the banks
safe. and as a result of this con-
hdence, nobody fears hard times and
the banks are overlooking with
money and the people in all walks
OF life are prosperous and happy.
The price of farm products and wide
spread activity in industrial lines
have everybody up and doing and
business is the best today il has
been in so years
our stand-pat republican friends
have always stood ready to crow
over prosperity as the direct result
OF their being in office but now that
the democrats are in power and
prosperity is rolling the highest ever.
they concede no credit whatever to
the wholesome democratic legisla-
ton which is fair deal TO all and
thereby makes business lively.
Hughes Not Fair.
Even the republican candidate
for president. who but recently left
the U. S. supreme court to mix in
politics. is not fair to the democrats.
He steadfastly refuses 10 admit i'm
his speeches that any of the many
wholesome democratic laws are
commendable. There's the income
tax law. the tariff commission law.
the law giving both soldiers and
their widows pensions, the banking
and currency law. the children's
bureau and the anti-child labor law,
the fair trade commission law, the
government aid TO good roads law,
the agriculture extension law and
many, many other acts of legisla-
ton that the people had been ask
ing for for years. Not one of these
good laws does Mr.. Hughes approve
Don't you believe he means TO wipe
them all out and go back to the
~1a e1ae II
US when they were in power / be-
lieve he will for he has always
heretofore stood with the big tnan-
ciers OF Wall street and he acts like
he will do it if elected president
Why Change?
Woodrow Wilson has made a
progressive and safe president. His
policies have given us great pros
penty and kept US out of war Why

to tell what legislation he will re-
peal and what he will do il elect

The rural credits law" will put
the farmer on an equal footing with
corporations in the matter Of low
rates Of interest on loans.
In many states farmers are pay
ing 10 and IL percent for farm
loans. including commissions of loan
agents, while in the same localities
corporations are getting their loans
at four and five percent. And
that too in face of the fact that
farm mortgage is the safest secur-
ity in this country.
Low Interest.
The rural credits law will afford
the farm owners mortgage loans at
not 10 exceed six percent and prob
ably as low as three ana a half or
four percent. II will give him five
TO 40 years to pay off this loan and
he may pay il a little each year.
This low rate will be possible be-
cause their mortgages and the land
cannot both be taxed as now, there
will be no cost OF any kind in Sc.
curing the money and the money
itself will be furu shed by the gov
eminent. if the capitalists who have
IL TO loan do not furnish il at rates
within the six percent fixed by the
rural credits law. This will give the
farmer as cheap interest rates as
