INDU STRIAL PROPAGANDA.

One of the latest Republican tricks
of the presidential campaign, insid-
ious and false in its entirety, has
been trying to make its way into the
West. The lie was nailed in the East
early and its effect was negligible.
That the propaganda has reached the
West, as far as oklahoma, anyhow,
is shown in that a letter was repro
duced in an Enid newspaper. Septem-
ber 80, and several copies of the let
ter We're mailed from Enid. While
the reader was led to believe they
We're from New Jersey.
The circulation Of the letters and
advertisements first began about two
months ago. They We're purported TO
be signed by George c. Carroll, presi-
dent of the New Jersey Federation of
Liquor Interests, and urged of defeat
ing prohibition. 1t was proved quickly
10 be forgery, and was branded as q
scheme by the Republicans to poison
the minds of prohibitionists who
would vote for Cox, when as a mat
ter of fact. it was done to influence
Cox supporters to vote for Harding
and in the scheme the vets would
win. Cox has decidedly and unalter-
ably declared himself for prohibitions
Harding has lodged the issue. Hard
ing has never said decidedly what his
stand is, and those who have dug
down. report Harding owns several
shares Of brewery stock, which un-
doubtedly places his sympathy with
the liquor interests.
The thousands of letters mailed tc
Republican committees and mailed
subsequently to prohibition supporter:
and the w. c. r. L. of the country
did not have the desired effect. II
took stronger evidence to convince
any fair minded person that they
were anything but fakes. 1t has now
developed the letters had no deter
rent effect on the voters who viii
cast their ballots in favor Of Cox.
If such a letter was received by
you or if you receive one,s brand 1t a:
malicious, insidious lie.

the Republicans now hope 10 obtain
the balance of votes necessary To
make the cause of Harding sue
cess.
In the foreign settlements of the
east Republican emissaries are hard
at work Ii Cox is elected industry
will suspend, they say. and there will
be no work. If Harding is elected in
dustry will be prosperous and there
will be plenty of work. The Italian is
told that the Democrats are responsible
for the Italian having had To pay 80
cents Il pound for sugar for his wine.
The lrishman is told that Cox is a
Zoe to Irish self-detcmination, that
Harding is their friend. The despisable
Hun is his friend because Harding
favors a separate peace. The anarch-
istical Russian is impressed that a
Democratic administration will not
recognize the soviet; Harding Will The

of Victor Murdock. chairman of the
Federal Trade Commission. to show
that this body had asked for an
appropriation far in excess of what
it actually required in it's work. 1t
asked for 100000. according TO Mr..
Good. but was able to do its work
with the s150,00O appropriated.
Congress was impressed with the
fact that every violator of law,
whether he be profiteer or hOarder,
who was unlawfully increasing the
cost of the necessaries of life,
should be sent to prison and il ap-
propriated every dollar asked by the
department for this purpose" Mr..
Good said. And what has been the
result? Since that appropriation
was made the prices of commodi-
ties. according to government re-
ports, have steadily increased. We
have witnessed the price of sugar
rise from 10 cents per pound, when
the appropriation was granted, to
more than 80 cents per pound In
certain localities. and to an average
price of 25 cents per pound. Ger
tainly Congress is not responsible
for this increase. Would il not be
profitable for the President to ex-
anime his own action regarding
sugar to ascertain who is respon-
sible for the increase in price,"
Vast Deficit.
Referring to the Presidents state
ment that Congress had failed to re-
wise the tax laws, Mr.. Good cites a
recent estimate of the Secretary of
the Treasury showing that there
would be a deficit of S4,316, ,S9O,S55
at the end of the present fiscal year.
"Is this Congress to be condemned
because it refused to reduce taxes
when the Secretary of the Treasury
estimated there may be an excess of
expenditures over receipts of s4,-
16,S90,S55 at the end OF this fiscal
year?" Mr.. Good asked: What bus
mess concern, finding it's expenses
were exceeding it's revenues. would
not attempt to find additional
sources of revenue or reduce expen-
ditures? The President would re-
verse the experience of the business
world"
Mr.. Good attacked the President
for his veto of the budget bill, on
the ground that the refusal to ap-
prove this act strongly indicates his
opposition to a business program
