ties through fraudulent transactions

exchanges, the convention should
pledge the republican candidate to
investigate this wrong and compel
restitution, thereby reducing the cost
of living largely.
2. That eight billion dollars hav-
ing been grated during the war the
convention should pledge tho candi-
date to recover this sum, thereby
further reducing the cost of living.
8. That the national banks and
trust companies, grating from the
public over one billion dollars annu-
ally, thereby adding materially to the
peoples cost of living, the convention
should pledge the candidate TO elimi-
nate this graft, thereby further re-
duced the cost of living.
4. That for years United States
senatorships and other high public
offices have been bought and sold in
Massachusetts, the convention should
pledge the candidate 20 the elimina-
ton of this disastrous practice.
