POWER WITHOUT PERFOR-
NANCE.

Thus fal in the course Of a spe-
cial session of more than six
months, and IN two month, n the
current regular session Of con-
gress, the Republican maJority's IS
record has been one Of negation.
The Republican leadership is no
torious for the wise and needful
and salltary measures it has op-
posed instead Of notable for pro-
yiding beneficient legislation
that it promised and Tie people
expected.
there aru two damaging
counts in the POI lar indictment
Of the Republic ngress which
has had control and RESP lsibil-
ity for three-four'ls of year.
One is that, haNug proclaimed a
program Of ructiye enact
ments of it's own, it has Jailed to
accomplish single important
task to which its leaders pledged
it, The second count is that
though seemingly unwilling or
unable to take the initia i've, the
Republican majority, i'll their
partisanship and prejudice, have
stubbornly refused to accept the
recommendations of President
Wilson.
Nothing could better reveal the |
contrast between Democratic ag-
gressiveness and progressiveness !
and Republican incompetence
han the history of the last eight
In all that period the
executive branches. of the govern
nent have been under Democrat
* authority and direction. The
legislative department has been
wholly dominated by Republi-
ans, All the great problems and
compartments of reconstruc-
ion-negotiation of peace, re-
adjustment of the nation s
inances, the settlement of two
md the prevention of several
'reat strikes, the suppression of
evolutionaries-have been met
nd sue essfully solved by the
Xecutive agencies, and that not
My without help, but often in
ne face of hindrance, from the
republican legislature.
All the while the Republican
enate was obstructing peace and
laking the treaty a barrier to
ne most vital requirements of
le country. Even if the Repub-
can house Of representatives
ad been capable of functioning.
s product in the form OF bills
ould have lain like driftwood
the senate. Surely, the people
lnnot be mistaken a sto the
entity of those who, through
capacity and indifference and
rulent Hostility to tbe prosi
mt. have become responsible for
Unfolding the measures and
aehinery which the country has
eded during these MANY
'nths of Republican regime. !
