THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET

In number of instances the Democratic ticket
was a surprise 1t has become such custom for the
Democrats to hold convention every four years to
exploit the cartidacies OF James H. Moyle and vii
liam IT. King that the multitudes thought the old
program would be repeated But not so this time
Congressman yelling. the European Junketeer of
Box Elder, like W. J. Bryan, of cross of gold and
crown OF thorns" fame forward at the critical
moment and with well written essay threw the con-
vention off its feet and carried off the senatorial
nomination The address of the congressman and
senatorial aspirant was purely "wsonian" possess
ing that degree of rhetorical euphony that for more
than seven years has lued the people to sleep only
to find upon awakening that there was no substance
just mass of words, words, words In fact the es-
say reads like 1t might written on the VIII
son typewriter at the White House and passed on to
the congressman to read. It possessed a multitude
OF frills plenty OF contradictions as beautiful and
tasty dessert for the time being but nothing strong
and substantial on which to base any hopes OF bring
Ing the state out of the depths to which the present
administration has sunk It.
The following Is typical OF the yelling argument:
I'VE passed the Underwood tariff law It has
met the needs Of business and la success The best
evidence of this lies the fact that Repub-
lican congress for full years In power at Wash
ngton has not revised the tariff and has no inen-
ton OF doing so. We provided tariff commission
which has taken this question out OF politics and
sures business fair and impartial hearing, unnflu
enced by partisan sectional politics."
1t is true that they" the Democrats passed
the Underwood IL is also true that Ms n
result thereof the market at Omaha is flooded with
New Zealand lambs upon which commission mer-
chants told Mr.. Walter j. Lindsay of Ogden, who was
at omaha recently. that they making margin
of from IL to Is cents per pound over and above
what they could make western lambs by selling
the New Zealand product, further saying Mr.. Lind
say, that's why cannot buy your lambs" Yes it's
true they the Democrats. passed the Underwo God
Tariff law and 1t is also true that they" the Demo
Gratis ere passing the sheep to the door bank
ruptcy. But Mr.. yelling says the best evidence Of
the success Of the Underwood Tariff law lies the
fact that Republican congress- for full years
In power at Washington. has not revised the tariff
and has no Intention OF doing So Now Congress
man, quit your kidding, you are not apologizng now
for Congressman Dent and others of your Democratic
against the draft law, you talking to your own
people who want the truth. What is the use OF YOU
pedGling such stcff You know as well as YOU live
that all the tariff bills that Republican Congress
could put up to the sick man at tho White House
would be vetoed Again you say II is unnecessary
because you have provided tariff commission"
Then why quote your best evidence" Again Mr.
Welng' you know as well as you know that YOU live
that YOU are not telling the truth when you say the
Republicans have mo intention of" revising the I'm
derwood tariff law. You know that a Republican
over night under such conditions maintain today
untl the injustice is remedied Yes. Mr. Congress
man. while you and your president are thinking of
Europe and conquest of the world eager to
take our places in the sun Kaiser Bill once
oroomed. a Republican administration awaits the on
portunity to give little time and attention to home
affairs
Another of the Congressman's high spots:
The draft law, recommended BY the president and
looked upon as an impossible achievement by every
power in Europe was passed Immediately Under its
leVeling Influence 10000 900 men stepped forward to
serve More than 1000 600 men were ipducted in
to the service of the nation"
Il might he pertinent to ask the DISTINGUISHED
orator Who passed the draft law" II ia true tho
administration was Democratic, but Mr.. yelling who
