"There he is, there he ISL called
out Ruth a. she and her brother were
watching every coach Of the long train
pulling into the station to see who
would be the first to locate Uncle Ted.
"That's him ali right said Jack.
t"You win.''
"Hello hiddies,'' called their uncle,
as he jumped from the last coach. 81
knew you'd be here to meet me. How
are you any way? It seems year
since / saw you last and it Is only been
a week.
"We're just fine, Uncle Ted" an
swered Jack "'But we want to know
all about your trip. You will tell us
a story soon, won't your"
"You bet I will. Right away. We
have an hour before dinner so we will
take ride through the park and l
can tell you a story them
After they were all settled in the
car with Uncle Ted's baggage packed
snugly away Uncle Ted said, 81 had a
great trip but I saw some things that
made me feel badly and heard some
things that make me feel more than
ever that the Republican party must be
placed in power at the election in No
vember / have told you a lot of
stories about the world club plan and
think both of you understand that
subject pretty well. / found in travel
ing around that the real Americans
have made up their minds on that sub
ject and will never vote for man
who favors the United States becom
ing a member of the Wilson league.
In fact the subject seems to be settled
Governor Cox realizes that fact, and
| for that reason he is trying to change
the subject and make the people listen
| to lot of fairy stories about the
money the Republicans are supposed to
| be spending for the election. No one
| Is TAKING MN DtNdust H'uF'N
realize that if he had anything worth
while to talk about, if he could make
real speeches showing why it would
be good thing to join the world club,
he wouldn t waste time making up
stories about something he hasn't as
yet been able to prove. So, as ! say,
| most of the American people have
made up their minds on this world club
business. They don't want it and
they won It have it."
''The people are interested in the
way the Democrats have wasted money
and thereby increased their taxes TO
the breaking point. There are hun
dreds of things along this line l
could tell you about but | am going
to dwell upon something I saw with
my own eyes. I spent the greater
part of one day going around what is
known as the Brooklyn Army Base.
This base which is reached by subway
from New York City, covers many
acres of ground. 1t was built during
the war to store food stuffs and ma
chinery to be shipped to Europe for
our troops. There is an immense con
crete building and many smaller build
ings, several large docks where the
army transports loaded the troops and
supplies and line after line of railroad
, tracks, There are huge derricks, used
to load the ships, some of them finish
ed and some never completed All of
that was fine and as it should be, but
where the Democratic waste and ne
being treated today. AS you go down
| n long street before entering the gates
YOU see long tracks with the rails rust
| ing. Two or three coaches stand on
one track, marked for the medical de-
partment, and they are rotting and
rusting. After you enter the gates
one of the first things you see is long
lines of motor trucks standing out in
the open with no covering whatever.
Many of the engines are not even COW
cred by the usual hood. There they
stand, trucks worth thousands Of dol
lars standing unprotected from the
weather with every inch of them rust
