Of Republicans is taken from the

It is well known fact that the
Democratic national and state admin
istration has not been selfish" In
letting much OF the war work be
done by Republicans.
II ia a well established fact that
much. II not most. of the work being
done in the Red Cross, the Food Ad
ministration, the Liberty Bond and
War Saving Stamp drives and by the
various boards and war efforts is be
ing done by Republicans.
II is a very noticeable fact that ali
of these important jobs which are
filled by Republicans pay One Dollar
year or less-and the one who
serves pays his own expenses.
II is most conspicuous fact that
every job which carries u worthwhile
salary in the nation aud state in these
piping war times Ia filled by de
serving Democrat"
