Transcript, Shouldn't the expense OF
financing Carranza be borne by the
Democratic campaign committee?"
i Democrats really haven't any OBJ
lection to big appropriations for army
and navy and internal improvements.
They expect the Republicans to rustic
the revenue to foot the bills for the

Hughes says he would like six
months to investigate the Administra-
ton, but the Administration figures
he's doing very well as it IS.
! Yes, and the same policies that have
filled Judge Hughes and others with
"a deep sense of shame" have sent
many other Americans to their graves.
The President has changed his mind
about sending more troops to the bor-
der. thus running true to form.
When Tom Taggart talks economy

the management of his campaign over
to them.
