This is the man who bowed to the
$2.40 wheat. veto because it would
add 1887, 100000 to the Nations
bread bill, and then he was patted on
the back and told he was too patriotic
to ask a raise in wheat prices. But
the railroad employees, and war labor
ers have only to threaten a strike to
get wage increases, and the Southern
cotton baron can profteer to his
hearts content, although again re-
ferring to the Income Statistics, 13
States comprising what is known as
the solid South, paid but $40, $50, 900
of the total $345, 1872, 900 of personal
and corporate taxes collected in 1916,
or about Sd per cent. New York
State alone paid more than six times
the personal and corporate taxes
realized from these 13 States.
The farmer is going to have his
innings in few weeks. He will have
the opportunity to vote for candi-
dates for the Senate and House of
Representatives. If his memory is
good he will recall that the party now
in control of the legislative branch
of the Government put all farm pro-
ducts on the free list, which resulted
in a large amount of competitions;
that they took away protection from
American manufacturers, which, be-
fore the war, put about 100000
consumers out of work and deprived
them of the power to purchase of the
products Of the soil. The farmer will
look forward, and with knowledge of
the tremendous amount of farm pro-
ducts now being imported, he will
figure that the United States, under a
free trade policy, will continue to re-
ceive these goods after the war. He
will also review the progress of this J.
Government, under his Administra-
tion, toward Wilsonian neo-socialism,
while the boys are Over There fight
ing for the principles of popular rule
He will recall that the Administration
has time and time again been guilty
of class legislation. And then he will
figure out that it is high time to stop
all this governmental running amuck,
and to put safe and sane party in
charge of the legislative branch, the
party which stood for the preserva-
ton of the Union, for Cuba Libre, and
which stands for no compromise with
Kaiserism-the party of Lincoln, Nc
Kinley-the Republican party. That
party will support the President in
but it will also supply the curb which
will prevent this country from being
completely Socialized behind the backs
of several millions of soldiers.

FAITHFUL OLD JOE
(From the Alma Record)

FROM Cne Alma hecOrQ)
Joseph w. Fordney, representative
Of this congressional district in con-
gress, has been serving this district
we'll, else he would not have seen
twenty years of service in the chief
lawmaking and governing body Of the
nation.
The voters of the district would
not have stood for man for this
length of time, were it not that he was
a man who looked after their interests
in congress in particular as well as
the interests of the county as a whole.
The voters have discernment enough
to know when man is achieving re-
suits for them, and they know that
Fordney is this kind of man.
Joe is a candidate for the nomina-
ton for representative in congress
again this year on the Republican tick
ct, and it goes without saying that
the Republican voters of the district
will again give him their hearty en-
dorsement, by according him the well
deserved nomination, deserved through
labors at Washington during this, one
of the most trying times in the history
of the country.
Fordney knows the ropes down
i, knows what is wanted and how to
do it. His long experience has made
him one of the leaders Of the house,
and the Record believes that it is
poor time to swap horses, and it is
the belief of the Record that the Re-
publican voters of the district will so
express themselves primary day,
which comes August 27.
Without question he will not be
around to make campaign this year.
He is too busy down at the capital,
helping to work out the problems that
are constantly arising during the
hours of warfare, questions which call
for men of experience and knowledge
to pass upon. If congress does not ad-
journ so that Fordnew can come home
and campaign, the voters should not
forget what he is doing, has done>and
| what he has earned at their hands.
Our democratic friends are so we'll
pleased with his work that no candi-
date will be nominated in this district
against him by them.
