stands. Twenlyone children were

now had democratic administration.
and the appropriations of democratic
congress have exceeded rather than
fallen below the expenditures author
lied under the preceding republican
regime. 1t is not necessary to quote
here the many warnings of Mr.. Fitz-
gerald, the chairman OF the house
committee on appropriations, to his
colleagues against their extraYagant
and unwarranted appropriations. They
may be found in the Congressional
Record, and they furnish interesting
reading to'those who recall the loudly
proclaimed promises Of democratic
economy and reform.
In view OF the present international
situation, wish to make no comment
on the handling of our foreign affairs,
other than to say that our relations
with Mexico today seem almost as
unsatisfactory as they have been at
any time within the last two years
and half.
Among the campaign pledges loudly
heralded by the spokesmen OF the
democratic party for the last twenty
years has been promise to curb"
the large corporations. The Sherman
antitrust law has been denounced
