In 1905" continued Honorable Hef-
lin, "the Republicans said they would
revise the tariff After they were cleo
ted to power and were questioned as
to the tariff matter they replied that
they had not guaranteed whether their
promise meant that they would revise
the tariff up or down.
''In 1918 Republicans running Tor
congress promised that they would
support Woodrow Wilson, but they
did not do so.
why did not the cotton crop move
from the wharves when the Repub-
,licans were in control? In answer
let me inform you that it was due 10
the fact that the Republicans had
,pernitted the merchant marine OF the
United States and the flag OF our
country to be swept off the seas. We
had no ships. And why? Because
the shipping trust did not want us
TO have any. The shipping trust con-
tributed literally to the campaign
fund OF the Republican party. 1t was
Woodrow Wilson and the Democratic
lparty who got the merchant marine
,of the United States in operation.
The Life Blood OF Business
Money is the life blood of business.
But the citizens are not permitted to
coin money Individually. The govern
ment reserves the right to coin money
.and the government should not per-
nit coterie Of men to control the
money supply OF the nation. Under
Republican administration, 21 men con-
trolled the money supply of America.
These men were in Wall street, and
you were at the beck and call of these
Wall street panic producing men. They
had the power of creating panics at
will in order to benefit Themselves
When these men had the newspapers
carry headlines OF impending panics,
the grain growers Of the west and
the cotton growers Of the south be-
came shared. These tillers OF the soil
then sold the fruits OF their toll at a
much lower price than they were just
ly entitled to. The Wall street men
stampeded the farmers. And the farm
ers just like sheep in the fold, fol-
lowed one another and sold.
IF the farmers refused to sell when
the Wall street men desired that they
do So the panic producers would write
10 the banks and tell them that a
panic was coming and took in their
money and refused to loan, stating
that they did not want their money
out
Wall Street Power
There never were any good old
days OF the Republican party for
the common man.
Never in the history of this coun-
try have the Republicans passed any
measures of common benefit for CON-
mon man. | hereby challenge the Re
publicans to name one such measure
which they have passed! IL the DEM
ocratic party would act as the Repub'
leans have | would withdraw from the
party Should a woman enter a party
such as that?
The Republicans had panic pro-
ducing party to pay havoc with the
products OF the farmer. Every time
they wished to make ten or fifteen
dollars per bale on ten million bales
of cotton they began TO talk OF a
panic.
Democratic Party Srought Prosperii!
1T was the Democrats who took
away from Wall street the power OF
creating panics. The Democratic
party has brought more prosperity tc
Republicans in oklahoma than they
have ever received under any admin

leans sit back in arm chairs at theft
