Henry Morgenthau, who was the
chief ~financier of the last Democratic
campaign and who went as ambassa-
dor to Turkey as a consequence, es-
Inmates that the Democrats will need
so per cent campaign money this
year than they had four years g
The estimate is far too low. They will
need 500 per cen more. Four years
ago the party he'd nc record to defend,
and now it has. In 1912 there was a
divided Republican party and now
there is a reunited Republican party.
Four years ago Woodrow Wilson had
a great reputation as a teacher and
author. He had no reputation as a
statesman. Now he has a reputation
as a spokesman. a weakling. a vacillat-
or, and a trimmer. A party with that
sort of a candidate needs more funds
than it can possibly get, even If it
gets all 1t wants.

HOPEFUL HELM

The Democrats at national head
quarters are greatly cheered up. Con-
gresham Tom Hehin of Alabama
lately dropped in upon them and an
nounced his firm belief that Wilson
will be overwhelmingly reelected. He
also stated that he had been asked to
take the stump in twenty states.
We hope he accepts. We hope, too,
that all of those states are in the
North; and preferably-or should we
say OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES hope
Connecticut is among them. The yot-
ers of Connecticut should be glad to
see and hear Heflin-for it was he
who, during the debate on the Under
wood bill in 1913, threatened to take
a Democratic Congressman from Con-
necticut outside and lick him, simply
because the Nutmeg Democrat had
mildly voiced his disappointment that
the Southern trainers of the new tariff
had seen fit so consistently to give the
short end of it to the North and its
industries. Helm is also that men,
Der of Congress who bounded into
fame awhile back by getting into an
alteration with a colored fellow-pas-
senger on a Washington street car.
He drew his gun on the negro, but
his usually calm nerves were some
what fiustered and he shot a white
man in the leg. Later he added t his
repute by going into a Washington
department store to ask for some
hosiery. BLACK or white?" asked the
polite salesgirl. White" exclaimed
Helm, with great indignation, adding

Marked Exhibit A" and sent out
into the Northern states. Helm and
his hopes should make a pronounced
hit-for the Republican party.

When Republicans advocate an in
crease in import duties as a means of
raising revenue and also afford
ing protection to American industry.
Democratic leaders try to give the i'm
preston that Republicans oppose an
income tax. AS a matter Of fact. there
is no Republican opposition to an in
come tax, but there is strong desire
that additional revenue shall be raised
from an import tax which will also
provide needed protection against the
dumping of foreign goods after the
war.

Some of our editorial colleagues ex-
press surprise that Mr.. Hughes sue
ceeded, so early in his campaign, in
putting the Wilson administration on
the defensive. To us it would have
been more surprising if he had not
done so. The fact is that the admins
tration is extremely vulnerable. It's
record is replete with broken prom
Uses, with examples of bad faith, with
evidence of intellectual and political
instability-to say the least-and with
constantly recurring proofs of ineffi-
cheney. This record is being set forth
by Mr.. Hughes with remarkably ex-
plicit force-and the administration
must. perforce, defend itself, though
weakly.

A difference between the commit

astic League this year, Ii being
" Resolved, that a constitutional x

should be levied for the support OF
the institutions OF higher education
in Texas, and that supplementary
appropriations by the legislature
should be prohibited. This is a
question of vital interest TO every
citizen and he WILL indeed gain
some valuable information by hear
ing this debate.
The negative side of this question
is represented by Balfry Griffin and
Lackay Connally of the local high
school. These young men are the
ones who were winners in the try
out held last December Since that
time they have been working hard
on the question and hope 10 win

sured.
There viii be several special
numbers on the program, including

In order to delray the expenses of
the Gainesville debaters and TO meet
other expenses which are connected
with such an entertainment, a small
