point has been reached where
conditions are radically different
from the days when board of
Maryland county commissioners
"let out the roads by a mile or
so to be worked" and paid the
bills for few days labor and a
couple OF carts. The road engi-

ocratic party because have agreed with it's tenets as to government I shall, therefore, with your pardon, give you the ten reasons why an ex-service man should support the democratic candi- dates:
 HIS TEN REASONS
 Because they have constantly talked the broadest Sprinciples of progressive development, conforming to the spirit of the century for independent political
 judgement.
 Because it's candidates have never said. and never believed that sentiment recently uttered by Senator Harding when he said, ITO much is heard of in dependence in politics.
 Because in this year the democratic party represents the honor of the country because it believes in keeping faith with the living and faith with the dead. faith with our allies, and faith with our foes
 Because the democratic party stands for a league of nations, the existing league, to end war, to compose differ. ences by adjustment of wrongs through the processes of world opinion.
 Because it would have America as sume it's rightful place at the head of the nations of the world unaffraid to take it's place as leader
 A BACKWARD STEP Because only through the league of nations can order be brought to the world and because the failure of the league will cause us to revert to International anarchy huge competitive ornaments. which are the inevitable breeders of war.
 Because the democratic candidates de- spise to appeal to racial bigotry. Because the republican party leaders have unblushingly appealed to the dis Ioyalists of the United States and are unashamed to hold their power in the United States by reason of the vote of a man found guilty of violating the law in obtaining his seat in that body, Sen ator Truman H. Newberry. of Michigan, Because the democratic administra. tion wrote into the laws or the country the federal reserve act, the farm loan act and other pieces of legislation that enabled it to muster the resources of the country at a critical time so that all Americans. regardless of party. might win the greatest of all wars for human tity and for high principles
 eRecause, notwithstanding that many conditions are not ideal, America is at this hour the safest place in which to live. the most desirable and the best from every standpoint, and because il will come through progressive evolution to still higher plane of development despite the attempts of reactionaries like Senator Harding to stop it."

Says There Are Ten Reasons Why They Should Not Be

By Associated Press

New York, September SO-Ten reasons why former service men should support the democratic national ticket prepared by Governor Cox were made public here today by the democratic national com mittee
 The ten arguments were included by the democratic presidential candidate in lthe following letter to the Argonne Post Weekly of Des Moines. Iowa.
 There are no ten reasens-nor indeed any other reasons-why former service imam should be either hidebound a repub- hcan or democratic partisan. I cannot refrain from uttering my sentiments on ethis point before proceeding.
 ~Uncompromsing partisanship would dry up the we1l-springs, of that healthy Lublic sentiment which has made Amer jca. It would make men slaves to those who formulate the party policy and would forever stagnate the intellectual de- velopment of our people.
