WILSON HAS KEPT PLEDGES

In his letter the Progressive National Committee largely devoted discussion of the support given by the GermanAmerican Alliance to Mir. Hughes and the reasons for his own defeat Colonel Roosevelt included the following characteristic statement:
 Tt is folly pay heed to any of the promises in th' platform on which he Presdent Wilson, LOW stands in view of the almost every important promise on which he stood years ago has since been broken
 ris a maxim of the courts that when witness i false statement he may be regarded false in all
 The Democratic party in its platform of 1912 prom ised tariff reform and tarif reform is fact. I promised additional and more constructive laws for the regulation of corporations and the Clayton antitrust law is the result.
 The platform commented upon the passage by Con ress of an the Constitution to permit h' enactment of an income law and another amendmen providing for the direct election resolu tons for the two amendments having been put throug by the Democratic party-and both laws writer upon the statute books.
 There was plank for banking and currency reforr and the promise has had fulfment the best bank ing system ever given the people of the United State and is generally approved by the financial world.
  of the country who had been promised such reform b the Republican party for twenty without fulfill ment. result of the ascendency of the Democratf party to power as result of President Wilson's leader ship both branches Congress have passed rura credits which eventually will enable tenant far mers to own their own land without encumbrance Tho Democratic measure passed almost unanimously il both branches the Republicans being obliged to give their approval.
 Another of the important blanks in the Democrat platform was one advocating agricultural cooperation with the States. Such cooperation with new and mod ern marketing system Federal aid in road building an6 other aids to the farmer, is reality.
 Justice to labor and the conservation of tue right of labor promised in the platform of 1912 and Sam uel Gompers, president of the American Federation o Labor has said was done for the laborng pie under the leadership President Wilson and unde the Democratic party than under any previous admin traton
 Conservation of the natural resources of the counr promised and there has been progressive conserve ton accompanied by sane development No administra ton has ever had a more efficient operation of the In terior Department
 The spirit of the platform well it's letter hav' been upheld The Democratic party has even fur ther Giving the to his characteristic state ment with his well known agility Colonel Roosevelt i the same letter to the Progressive National Convention says:
 "The Progressive movement has been given an in cacuabIe impetus by what the Progressive party ha done Our strongest party antagonists have accepte and enacted into law or embodied in their party pat forms VERY MANY OF OUR MOST IMPORTANT PRINCIPLES. Much has been accomplished in awaken ing the public to better understanding of the problem of social and industrial welfare"
 No party in the history of the nation has ever wri ten upon the statute greater body of progressiv and constructive laws has given its approval by the Democratic party to conserve t interests of labor No greater advance has bee made in the interest since the Republic wa founded and the farmers themselves. prosperou and more enlightened than before have given thei endorsement to what has been done in their behalf
 Real reforms have been accomplished in the ;nteres of all the people There has never been time when tn reserves of the national banks of the country represent ing the prosperity of the people have been larger
