NEW YORK, Sept. Soften reasons

The ten arguments were included
by the Democratic presidential can

given YOU the ten reasons why an

Because they have constantly

Because its candidates have never
said and have never believed that
sentiment recently uttered by Sena-
tor Harding when he said. Too much

Besides in this year the Democratic
party represents the honor OF tho

Because the Democratic party
stands for a league of nations, the
existing league to end war to COM
