Between Hughes and Wilson we
must make our choice" the speaker
declared. Judge a political party as
you would tree-by its fruit; for, ''by
their fruits We shall know them BY

the burden Of government largely from
the masses Of the people and laid It ON
the income from the immense fortunes
amassed under the republican tariff.
"These are fruits of the democratic
tree" he added.
"The democrats have enacted meas
ures to forestall any dumping of the
cheap foreign goods on our shores
when the war is over, the senator went
on. "They have established a non-par-

knowledge to shape results. These
are more fruits of the democratic tree.
