never before had more than a mere
living are today railing the Democratic |

during the war. And the Rural Credit |
bill to help finance the farmers has |
been greater boom to farmers than |
they ever had. Then the Good Roads |
bill which appropriated the means to |
build 15,000,000 miles of road i'll the |
United States. The Federal Reserve, |
the Rural Credit and Good Roads bills |

OF. the United States and which have |
been the means of the great prosperity |
and of the progressiveness they have |
enjoyed"

and men who would as soon have
war as not.
