SPAAN NLAUDS PAY
UNDER WILSON
Addresses Midwest Engine Co.
Employees at NOon

Attributing the present prosperous coll-
dition of the laboring man to the DEM
ocratlc administration and exeoriating
Congress for it's failure TO act on meas
ures designed to reduce the cost of liv-
ing, Henry Spaan. Democratic candidate
for Congress, spoke at the Midwest Eli
gine Company's plant this noon as TO-
lows:
II want to talk 10 you a little about
Democratic prosperity. Most of you are
working men. and l can prove by YOU
that you never received such high wages
as you have been receiving under this
Democratic administration. Never did
your families live so well, nor were they
ever better clothed.
Under this administration no labor
ing man has to hunt for a job, it is
ready at his hand.
Business never was as prosperous Is
ii is under this Democratic administra
tion. Factories cannot get men and raw
material enough. Orders cannot be filed
for lack of time. Business men who were
formerly content with a small profit are
now paying excess profits to the govern
ment in tax.
HOW TO SONTINUE
THIS PROSPERITY.
''If you want to continue this pros.
want to go back to the days of the dear
dollar and the cheap man, vote the Re-
publican ticket. Senator Harding wants
to 60 back to normalcy-that means the
normalcy that existed before 1912; the
days of cheap labor, the days of stagna-
ito min business, the days Of panics.
"All of this prosperity is due to the
wise financial legislation of the Demo
cratic party. The Federal Reserve Bank
ing law kept us out of a panic during
and after the war. While the European
nations are on the verge of bankruptcy.
American prosperity astcnishes the
world.
"If you want this wise money policy
changed and the finances of the country
turned over to Wall street, vote the Re-
publican ticket, if not vote for James NJ.

ence E. Crippin, president, to give any
reason for the dismissal of Daniel b.
Carroll, formerly a teacher at Arsenal
Technical schools, in response to the
demand of delegation from the League
of Women Voters.
Blocking of efforts to have the old
school board investigate the recent re
port of the State Board of Accounts was
another outstanding feature Of the ses-
! sion.
The session was stormy, one member
of the board and several citizens speak
in right out in meetin y.

sioner Charles L. Barry, which pro.
vided for the boaRd as constituted last

developed heated words on the part of
citizens and members OF the board. en-
sued when the delegation OF women.
headed by Miss Alma Sickler. demanded
that the board give reasons, as had been
promised at the last meeting, for the
dismissal of Mr.. Carroll.
Miss Sickler read long letter to the
board, in- which the report that Mr..
Carroll had been a storm center" or a
labor leader who had caused much trou-
BILE. was denied emphatically.
She stated that various members of
the board had talked unofficially which
she declared to be an 'undignifed thing

Dear Sir-The disposition to in
vestigate the quality of the patches
you have been putting into Indian
apolis streets is largely the result of
a fairly well-founded suspicion that
a good many of those fifty three Re-
publican committeeman who belong
to the city administration are on
your pay roll.
If politics interferes with street
work, by all means quit the street
work until politics is adjourned
There may have been a mistaken
idea in the minds of the people who
pay the taxes that good streets are
more desirable than Republican
government, but the powers that
hired you to do the impossible task
of providing both are lot more in
terested in political success.
Keep on loading your pay roll
with political workers and you win
outlast the streets.
