And Drives Home Great, Un-
ansWerabIe Truths against
Wilson Administration.

From the front steps Of the court
house. Charles ]. Schuck, brilliant
Wheeling lawyer and former Pro-
Eresstve nominee for Congress, adj
dressed an aSsemblage that complete
u maSsed the public square Saturday
night at the close Of the great Repub-
hcan parade. Among those who heard
him were many coal miners and In
dusrial workers, their part OF the
mammoth pageant having stopped in
'front.' Of the court house just before
he was introduced by Lafayette c.
cEne.
1fr. Schuck looked down upon
sea Of faces that extended clear across
the street to the business places OPP
posite and deep into Third street and
West Main. both eastward and west
ward It was prodigious throng.
one that surpassed greatly the crowd
which listened to Woodrow Wilson
speak upon the same spot four years
ago.
Notable Feature.
A notable feature OF this vast gath
ertng was its hearty enthusiasm. At
the mention OF Charles 4. Hughes.
the assemblage went wild with APP
plause and from time to time the
telling arguments put forth by the
speaker were cheered so roundly that
the very foundations of the court
house shook. This was especially
the case when Mr.. Schuck drove home
his points about the high cost Of Nv
ing, which the Democrats promised to
bring down. Mention OF Judge Ira
3. Robinson's name was also the oc-
casion for big demonstration.
Mr.. Schuck's address was as fol-
lows:
Democratic Funeral.
This magnificent demonstration"
said Mr.. Schuck, indicates that our
Democratic friends will be buried so
deep on the seventh day OF Noyem-
her that they will be either in China
or in league with his satanic males
ty. (Applause.) We have been out
over this country arousing the voters
as we have never aroused them be-
fore and the demonstration given
here tonight is a sample Of the way
the people are being aroused and It
Is the largest you have ever given in
your history. This parade tonight
sounds the death knell. signs the
death warrant OF the Democratic
marty. (Cheering.) Last Saturday
NIGHT we witnessed a Democratic
demonstration in these same streets
IN which $50 men took part. Tonight
Won have had twenty times over that
number IN your parade and when It
comes to drawing comparison. you
can easily figure out the majoriees

plank Of the Democratic national
platform adopted in 1912 IN Balu-

Tuesday and that IS the one term
plank for woodrow Wilson. We Will
send him back to New Jersey where
perhaps. he can do more good teach
Ing history.
..Iy friends. there are several IS
sues IN this campaign you ought 20 |
know about. You ought to appreci- ,
ate the fact that in 1912 there were
two important issues the Democrats /
raised. One was that the Republicans
had been extravagant and there
should be economy in government
The other was that the cost OF living
was going upward and that It would
come down as soon as you put the ,
Democrats in charge Of things. They
have been shooting skyward all that
time.
The last Democratic Congress-
snent three hundred million dollars
more than the last Republican Con-
gress, and the Democrats created 3d.
400 more Jobs than there were at
the end Of the Taft administration:
They were for deserving Democrats.
Nv. how many there were! Tne
Democratic administration has proved
beyond any doubt that It IT no longer
able TO conduct this government as II
should be conducted.
There are a few items in the last
Democratic appropriation bill! you
should know about. What have they
done with our money? Let me give
Won a sample or two. That appro-
priation bill carried S25.0OO to teach
Louisiana farmers how 10 raise hors-
es and pigs. and you can imagine the
white-suited Democratic carpet bag
gers going down there to 90 me
teaching. To exterminate the Dol!
weevil they appropriated S23.o0O.
The boil weevil Is an insect that gets
into cotton and destroys IT, Then
they appropriated 100000 for the
determination OF insects which affect
cotton other than the boil weevh;
Then $4,000 more was appropriated
for the determination OF insects gen
orally which affected cotton other
than the insects mentioned IN the
other two appropriation. You see
the point. don't you? There we're so
many deserving Democrats that
more insects had TO be :ou2d 70 eT'
