vent1on assembled at Woodstock
Va, April oath, 1920:
! First. The record O. the
Democratic Party has been one
OF great remedial construction in
all branches of governmental ac-
Invites. 1t gave the country the
best system of banking and
hnance ever enjoyed by any ma.
ton; 1t lnaugurated Good Roads
construction; it fostered the agri.
cultural interests; it blished
the Labor department; it restored
the MerCli ant Marine, and enacted
more progressive laws than were
put upon the statute book III all
the previous history of the coun.
try. 1t brought the country
through the greatest war in his
tory, with added glory to a great
past.
Since the Republicans have
been restored to control of both
branches OF Congress, their rec
ord has been pitiable and con-
temptlble series of ineficiency
and lncapacity, without one con
structlve piece of legislation to
their credit.
Resolved, We endorse the
course OF our representatives IL
Congress, and. especially of our
distinguished Representative
the Honorable Thomas w. Har-
rlson, whose work on the most
important Committee of the
House, and on the floor of the
House, has been marked by con-
splcuous ability and unswervinp
fidelity to the interests of this
district, aud Of the country, and
we urge his reelection.
