the working poor. Candidate Hughes
has ever been found contending for
the interests of the rich as against
the welfare OF the common people.
While Governor of New York Mr..
Hughes vetoed the bill that women
school teachers should receive the
same pay as men. Mr.. Hughes as
Governor also vetoed the two-cent
railroad bill and opposed the In
come Tax.
Col. Roosevelt is storming around
over the country, said Senator !
James, in the interest of Candidate !
Hughes, but the Rough Rider dare !,
not attack the Federal Reserve Act |
because he was President when the |
worst panic the country ever knew !
was sprung by Wall Street interests.
Under the old system a nationwide
panic could be sprung overnight, but
now it is not possible. The Panic
Trust and the Money Trust were an
initiated by Democratic legislation.
The Republicans now say, "Oh, just
wait till the war is over and pros
perity will fade away" They used
to say "If you ever let the Demo-
cratic party get into power We will
have no more prosperity" Time
and events have changed their tune.
For twenty-five years, said Senator
James, after the war is over this
country will be selling supplies to
the Old World to make up for the
destruction which this gigantic war
! has wrought. The conclusion is in
evitable why should we fear for
! the war to close?
Candidate Hughes, said Senator
James, is the great critic and fault
| finder. This type of person has eX-
listed since history began. Anybody
can criticise and find fault with an
others actions or policy. Mr..
Hughes has no constructive argu-
ment to offer. He does not Che dare
not) declare that If elected Presi-
dent he will work to have repealed
the great quantity of beneficial leg
islation enacted by the Democrats.
Here Senator James explained the
Rural Credits Act, by which farmers
are placed on an equality with big
moneyed men and can borrow mon
ey on long term and low rate OF
interest, liquidating the debt while
. paying the interest.
The eight-hour-day decision OF
President Wilson, said Senator
, James, was not a surrender to
force" but a surrender to reason.
President Wilson's war policy has
kept us at peace with honor. wfilc
} prosperity is felt all over the laud
