AMERICA FIRST
DEMOCRATIC MISREPRESENTATION

DEMOCRAIlC Observation-Disclosures
4 oW The Wilson Administration Gladdens The
Heart OF Workmen" was the heading Of one Of
the most absurd bits of Democratic campaign
thunder that has SO far been published in the local or.
gan % the party. The article appeared yesterday morn.
ing aud was SO false and mlsrepresented facts SO much
that Il caused q smoker from all those who read the ar.
tcle and who are at all acquainted with conditions as
they were Just after the start Of the present administra.
toni and as they now are. IN
The local Democratic organ asserted that labor and
capital were entirely satisfied with the Democratic ad.
ministration and with the policy that has been followed
by President Wilson; that the Democratic party is re-
~sponsibleA for the degree Of prosperity that is being en-
joyed at the prest time by the United States. Nothing
could possibly be more distant to the truth.
There IS but one cause for the prosperity that the uni.
ted States enjoys at the present time-that cause is
known to all to be the war in Europe. Our munition
plants and mills are running full time and giving am.
picyment{ to hundreds of thousands Of American work.
tngnen. not because Of any accomplishments Of the Dem.
ocrats since they have held the reigns of government:
but rather the war in Europe saved this country from
the worst panic in its history. Only the fearful slaugh.
ter across the sea saved the Democratic party from
TRUSTING upon this country a terrible crisis; and yet
some Of the Democratic papers have the audacity to
claim that the Democratic administration has done some.
thing for the w~orkingmen.
The Times sights a long list Of companies that have
granted increases in wages to employees and takes all the
glory to the Democratic party. when in fact every last
one Of the increases in the pay envelopes is due to the
war directly or indirectly.
The. editor Of the Times must think that the people OF
this district are easily fooled, when he attempts to ram
any such material dow their threats. However, he may
live and learn different
From the tine that the Democrats went into power
they triedsi every manner to crush the American work
irgman. So well did they look after the interests Of the
wage iearners of this country that Just before the war
broke out in Europe hardly a mill was running, general
business conditions were terrible and fast becoming
worse THIS country was headed straight for a panic and
only the European belilgerents sdetracked US. Today
we are having q measure o, prosperity, which is bullded
solely on the blood of unfcrtunates in the war zones, a
prosperity which is not natural or lasting. and one OF
which we have little reason to be proud. Sooner or Ia.
ter the war in Europe will cease, the blood" prosperity
