ard which says. Know a tree by its
fruits Both parties have records, Both
parties have borne fruits.
The government should control
lnstrumentalty TO the benefits OF
all the people The Republicans have
donated millions OF acres of land on
which were 70 be built railroad and
trunk lines throughout the country.
These railroads and trunk lines have
been built and are really OF benefit
TO the nation. But they are not Of
benefit TO the entire peoples OF this
country. For, Just as the arteries
in our bodies need veins to convey
the blood to all parts OF our systems,
our railroads and trunk lines, the
arteries OF commerce. need roads
and highways. the veins Of the rail-
roads and trunk lines, to convey the
commerce and travel to the schools.
hamlets, villages, farms. and valleys
And unless this system is completed.
the work is not done. The Repubh-
cans have never appropriated any
monies for road system. 1t was
under the leadership OF Woodrow VIII
son and the Democratic party, and
not until that time, that roads were
established throughout the entire
country.
Under the old commercial loan
system. the farmers OF our country
were not able to progress. They were
unable to properly provide for their
families, to provide proper education
for their children, to live In decency.
IL took the Democratic party. under
the leadership OF Wilson. to establish
loans extending over a long period OF
time and at low rate OF interest.
so that the. farmers OF our country
could progress properly.
