cept the Governorship and retain the
Cantu appointees, but when it came
time for Cantu to turn over the relns
the concessionaires of Lower Califor-
MIA protested. Twice Senor Armada
visited Mexicali to assume office, but
neither time did he get within a stones
throw of it. He blames Col. Cantu's
disciples still the leader and master
of great party, which before his
advent possessed both traditions and
| principles, would be long step in
the direction of the autocracy for
which Mr.. Wilson yearns and heavy
blow to the continuance of the free
representative government as we have
always conceived and venerated it.
MUST DEFEAT WILSON
Mr.. Wilson and the autocracy he
represents, and all which those who
believe in his doctrines and share his
spirit represent, must be put aside
and conclusively excluded from any
/ future control.
"The defeat of the present admin
istration and all it means, TRANSCRIPTS
in Importance every other question
and all immediate and dominant issues
are bound up with it. Without that
&
tlement of the mighty questions be
fore US, so sorely needed now and not
later, will depart.
"To maintain law and order and 4 |
stable government where justice rules
and the right of all men, high and
low rich and poor, shall be protected,
we must have government of the
people, duly chosen by the people, and /
never must there be permitted any
government by a single man or by Il
group of men, or by organized minor
ity.
MANY vital economic measures
and especially protective tariff legis-
lation to guard our industries, are
impossible with democratic free
trader of socialistic proclivities in the
White House. To accomplish such
measures as these, we must have, as
we intend to have, a republican pres
ident, in sympathy with a republican
house and senate.
PRODUCE MORE
"The rise of prices the high cost
of living which reach daily into every
home, is the most pressing, as it Is
the most difficult and most essential
problem which confronts us. Some of
the sources of this trouble can be
reached by legislation, although not
all. but everything that can be effect I
ed by law should be done at once.
"Profiteering. charging of extor-
tionate and unjustified prices, which |
is stupid as well as unlawful are |
subject now to ample punitive laws. .
Those laws should be enforced, others
if necessary added, and the offenders
both great and small should be pur
sued and punished.
"The most essential remedy for
high cost (of living) it is to keep up |
and increase production and particu- !
larly should every effort be made to :,
advance the productivity of the farms.
The phrase government ownership /
means not only that the government
shall own the railroads but also, it is
to be feared, that those who run the
railroads shall own the government.
General government ownership under
our political system would inevitably
bring about the mastery of the gov
ernment by those who operate the
machinery of transportation or any
other industries which come into gov
ernment possession. The rights OF
the general public, for whom all in
dustries exist, would disappear under
this scheme and nothing would be left
to the people except the duty of pay
ing taxes to support the roads.
COURSE is CLEAR
"When the armistice with Germany
was signed the course to be pursued
was clear. :" IS That course was to
make the peace with Germany at once
