Record of Achievements.
"We endorse the administration of
Woodrow Wilson 1t is the best ex-
position of sound Democratic policy.
eve challenge comparison of our
record, our keeping of pledges and
our constructive legislation, with
those of any party or any ,,r.lv.
1--WE found our country hampered
by special privilege, vicious tariff,
obsolete banking laws and an inelas-
tic currency. The Republican party.
despite repeated pledges, was impu
tent to correct abuses which it had
fostered. Under our administration,
under a leadership which has never
faltered, these abuses have been cor
rected and our people have been
freed therefrom.
"Our archaic banking and cur
rency system, prolific of panic and
disaster under Republican admins
tration-long the refuge of the
money trust-has been sup;lanted by
the federal reserve act, a true de-
mocracy of credit under government
control already proved financial
bulwark in a world crisis, mobiliZ-
ing our resources, placing abundant
credit at the disposal of legitimate
industry, and making currency
panic impossible.
"We have created federal trade
commission to accommodate the per-
picking questions arising under the
anti htrust laws so that monopoly may
be ytrangled at it's birth and legit-
innate industry encouraged. Fair
competition in business is now as
sured.
1--WE have effected an adjustment
of the tariff-fair to the consumer
and the producer. We have adj
justed the burdens of taxation so
khat swollen incomes bear their equi-
liable share"
