that Woodrow Wilson and his able as
sistants have brought about; it is be-
cause OF his masterfu1 way of beating
the predatory interests, that they hate
him with a personal hatred and are pur-
suing him with the malignity of devils
both in congress and in the press. Never
has 4 great leader been so lied about
so hated-and all because he dared main-
tain the rights of the common people,"
Mr.. Span continued with a descrip-
ton Of the achievements of the demo-
cratic administration during the war.
''Have we not reason as democrats to
be proud of the men who so ably led
America during this titanic struggle?''
he asked Washington was the greac
leader of the revolutionary war. Lin
coin was the great leader of the war
of the rebellion, and so Woodrow Will
son was the leader in this great and
last war for the preservation of civili-
zation."
Mr.. Span asked that the causes for
which the war was fought be not lost
sight of. He said that we fought to
rid the world of militarism, to make it
impossible for a few men to disturb
the peace of the world. He declared that
without a league of nations to pre-
serve the peace of the world the men
who gave their lives in the war shall
have died in vain. He told of the long
struggle to bring about the ratification of
the peace treaty and Of the criticism
heaped upon the president.
Never in its history has the great
republican party been so misled by de-
signing men as at the present time" he

said. 1.-THE country has lost faith in
the Lodges, the LaFollettes, the Borahs,
the Johnsons and their associates, who
claim to be national leaders, while the
great state of Indiana is repudiating
the man who claimed to be the great
war governor and halts today between
two opinions of whether he shall call
the legislature together to clear up his
mistakes or whether he will brave it
through, trusting to forgettulness to hide
his faults"
In short talk DR.. McCulloch said that
the republican candidates who nave ac-
cepted democratic planks in regard to
the tax law, Capitalization, and other
measures have read themselves out of the
republican party. He quoted figures to
illustrate the unfair operation Of the
tax law in johnson county.
Mr.. Slack said there is no question
about the issue in the campaign. He
said the stealing of democratic thunder
will not save the republicans from the
onslaught of the ballot box.

but we must repudiate a governor" he
