z q p CAMPAIGN TO END IN 2. .AZE OF GLORY
SPECIFICATIONS or A GREAT failure

Woodrow Wilson falsely claims he has kept out of
war He also falsely claims that this made prosperity
is of his promotion There is another that he never
speaks Of which he plunged the country into by the passage
of the Underwood bll-the industry and labor
This the you and your party gave us with your
tariff and which you refuse to discuss while soliciting votes
You promised us to reduce taxes and the high cost OF
living
Did you keep your promise? Taxes increased
of living advanced The dollar shrank You brought bus
ness almost to a standst. Commerce paralyzed The
wheels many slenced You choked side
tracks with idle You lined streets with idle
robbed by your tariff of the chance to earn their daily bread
Women and little children suffered want
In place of prosperity you the old Democratic
soup houses and bread lines
Relief for the suffering army of the unemployed became
the burning question of the hour.
Demands public money prevent the misery were
nsen The Mayors of the chief cities of the country
formed citizens committees to devise means OF feeding the
lean and hungry victims of your craftsmanship.
You told them that the Democratic wrinkles IN their
bellies imaginary that their hunger psychological
Do you remember that?
This was the situation when the cataclym in Europe
flooded our industries with gold for materials.
Do you remember that exports jumped from your
hungry year of 1914 from $685. to ST.
in the year 1856? Wholly in foods and necessities
this and yet you tell the people that you gave
us present prosperity.
Is this honorable?- Is it the act of patriot?
If you don't mean what you say. why do you say it?
Do you remember that you really tried to check this
twar prosperity by officially opposing American loans to
the belgerens? And still you claim credit for the full
dinner pail Why not stand up like real patriot and tell
the people the real truth?
Your political organ New York city tells of common
laborers getting $340 day and headlines the item Wilson
Prosperity"
You stand for this deception, do you not?
What will become of your voters working on war
orders when orders stop?
What will they do and what pay will they get? Are
you afraid to this?
When twenty-five million men now engaged In war
activities return of peace and send their cheap
goods here under your trade policy what will happen7
Again the silent Wheels again the struggle to ea again
the soup houses and bread lines Of Democracy.
But what matters this now? The votes the thing We
are having gay, wild time, not, MIR. Woodrow
Wilson?
BY sudden backward turn Of civilization America Is
glutted with gold Factories are working night and
day Fabulous profits being made Hosts of aborers get
mechanics pay and mechanics pay in doubled Pyramding
profits speculation and initiation have brought riot Of
extravaganza and waste
Instead warning your people to be frugal and mindful
of Tomorrow prepare for the day when the golden
shall cease what do you, the nations leader do?
You joyously join in the frenzy and capitalize 1t for
votes Do you not?
Throughout the land you proclaim it Wilson Pros
perty And you encourage the ignorant and the houhtess
to believe that vote for you vote to make this deuge
of gold permanent"
