RETURNING TO NORMALCY

Washington-"The victory of Sena-
tor Harding and the Punishment of
wisconsin from the nations councils
is another manifestation of the inher-
ent good sense of the American peo-
pie and a renewed proof of the stabil-
ity of the government under which
they live" declares the Republican
Publicity Association in a statement
issued by that organization through
its president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne,
Jr. Led astray temporarily by the
insidious Establishments and suave
promises of men who controlled for
the time being one of the great politi-
cal parties, and convinced that moth
ing could interrupt the long period of
prosperity to which they had become
accustomed under Republican admin
istrations, the voters were inveigled
into bringing about change at Wash
ington. But they have seen the folly
of their misplaced trust and have EN-
phatically declared that there must
be a return to the old tried and true
principles of sound government.
"They have decreed an end to that
false altruism that would surrender
the priceless heritages of America to
the keeping of group of foreign ma
tions every one of which is jealous of
the power and prestige of the United
States and would rejoice at an oppor-
tunity to draw upon its resources for
their own ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
"The republic has had taste of au-
tocracy such as few nations of the
world have ever experienced. Gather
ing into his own hands all the exec
utive power and much of the legisla-
tive, the people have seen their Pres
ident contemptuously throw aside his
responsibility to them, and direct the
affairs of government solely according
to his own imperious will, uttering de-
fiance the while to their duly chosen
repI esenlatives in Congress. By their
votes the people have said, Stop!
The President must be the agent of
our will, not his own
THE disgusting orgy of extraYa-
gance that has run rampant through
the years of Democratic control is an
other of the determining factors that
precluded any doubt as 10 what the
rcsClt of the election would be. Bio
L , their time when they coulu shut
down the bars against further waste
of their substance, the people have
patiently looked on while the WanJon
pro1igacy of the Wilson administra-
tion has run riot. They have had
their revenge, and administered re-
tUl . that will drive thc conspirators /
into retirement for all time
'The nation has elected a seeming 1
bond of sympathy between its Pres |
ident and the Bolsheviki o. Russia |
and The radicals within its own bOr- /
ders that has shocked its sensibili- |
ties and offended every decent citizen. /
Flirting with the Lenine government /
while he was in Paris, Mr.. Wilson has
repeatedly demonstrated his friendh- /
ness for the leaders of radicalism in
his own country. 1t has been an as
sociation not becoming to America,
an abrupt end to which has been
brought by the election OF Senator
harding.
Wage earners and all other vot-
ers are alive to the fact that the rap
id return of Europe to normal pro-
duction once more means the flooding
of our markets with the products of
cheap foreign labor and consequent
disruption of the home market unless
steps are taken to prevent 1t through
the medium of a Republican protec-
tive tariff. BY the election of Senator
that has been made certain,
and the welfare of the American
protected for the future.
with Senator Harding in the
White House Congress will return
)nce more to its constitutional func- .
lions. Legislation by executive die
-ation will cease, and laws that are
passed and money that is appropriat-
ed will represent the combined wis
iom of over 800 representatives of the
people rather than that of a single
nan. The country is about to be re- I
stored again under a government for
he people instead of for a party or
