Broken Pledges
Shown BY Clark

The splintered planks of the demo-
cratic platform of 1912 received the
attention of A. r. Clark of Portland
principal speaker at big republican
rally held in Medford Thursday. Mr.
Clark quoted the famous sentence
from Mr.. Wilson's speetch at Wash
ingtn Park, New Jersey: "Our plat
form is not molasses to catch flies. "
He then proceeded to show that the
party had promised free tolls for
American shipping and had violated
its pledge, going into some detail to
show how serious was the Wilson
surrender on the tolls question in
connection with the placing of lum-
ber and other coast products on the
free list.
The speaker also paid his respects
to the democratic platform declara-
tion pledging the return to simplicity
and economy in the conduct of gov
ernment, together with a reduction
in the number of useless offices,
showing that thirty thousand addi-
tional offices had been created, en-
bracing an expense of forty million
dollars 4 year, and that the last con-
gress was the most extravagant in
the history of this country.
Mr.. Clark also discussed the Mexi-
can situation, the effect of the demo-
cratic policies upon the business and
prosperity of the country. and plead
ed for the election of a republican
congress to cooperate with repub-
lican president in bringing the coun-
try back to a solid basis of prosperity
with peace and national honor.
