From such levy the wages

Republican Candidate for President,
The war added hugely to the
wealth and also to the debt Of
our country. At the end we were
still far better postured than any
other great State, and our recov-
cry ought to have been at pace
far outstripping theirs.
The fact that In the months of
July and August. 1920. our ma
tional expenditures exceeded the
national receipts by si25,0OO,0oo
is the conclusive testimony of an
happiness and an incapaci;y for
administration that, had II been
paralleled in countries less for
tunateiy situated than our own.

We are starting on the new fis-

tinued, will add three-quarters of
a billion to our national debt this

NEW YORK, Oct 23.-Just eight
more working days-and fighting
days ~ you will-before the main
contest comes, and st its close VIC
tory for Harding and Coolidge and
the Republican parry.
There is nothing in this late day
of the campaign to make any one
wish to change single one of the
prophecies which have been made of
Republican victory. The conviction
has been getting stronger day by
day, until now it is unbreakablc. that
the voters OF the United states,
American men and women, will on
November 2, do their duty at the
polls. and this year their unquestion-
able duty means the election of the
standard bearers of the Republican
party.
The campaigns OF the Republicans
and OF tho Democrats have been con-
Quoted on two different levels, the
former on higher plane, and the
latter on distinctly lower plane.
The Democratic national candi-
dates largely have INDUCED In
charges OF various kinds against
their opponents, which not only
could not be proved, because they
had no foundation in fact, but which
finally both MIR. Cox and Mr.. Roose-
welt had to drop, because they saw
the futility of further pursuing n
course which simply was alternating
what friends they mad.
The Republicans have conducted
their campaign on what might be
called a plan Of issues The people
understand Issues and they under
stand facts when they ar" presented

News Seryfce.)
NEW YORK, Oct. 23-The Republi-
cans have built up a splendid politictl
machine. / freely concede it, Equip
ped with vast funds. their astute
chairman has done a good job. with
his tireless energy and political skill.
IL would have been extraordinary had
he failed.
We will have expended by the end
OF this campaign about one-fourth OF
our legitimate requirements. The
bulk of the moneyed interests are
against us for reasons best known to
themselves 1t has been like digging
in the frozen Klondike to get enough
money for a position of the publicity
necessary to spread the truth about
the most falsif1ed document in the
worlds history--the League OF Nat
ions Covenant.
That Is the situation. But we will
win. "Why?' Asks the cynic who Is
certain that the election goes with
the organization and the money. NY
answer Is that there never was a
political machine SO large, so efficient.
so rich, so powerful that the Ameri-
can people couldn't break IL when
they wanted to.
Mr.. Hays machine IL one they are
going to smash into Hinters on No
vember 2. And the reason IL simply
that the Hays machine would keep
US from achieving the ideals for which
we fought the war and would seek
to destroy the only compact insuring
Nworld peace ever agreed to by nat
Ions both great and small.

paid, and political henchmen enjoy
fat salaries and perquisites with next
to nothing to do.

THE Government spends it's money

sons and pays salaries of 500, $500

Certainly the salaries of Federal
employees should be greatly increased
But the fat jobs should go. The

possible for ten department heads
