the greatest war in the, worlds his
tory was fought and won, Let us not
| forget that Woodrow Wilson was
COMMANDMENT Chief of the Army and
Navy in that great struggle. The
American Army and Navy brought the
World War to successful conclusion
and secure imperishable fame for the
American republic. The Democratic
administration financed not only the
World War for our own country, but
| financed our Allies and came through
without panic and with the credit Of
our nation secure--surely in q bust
mess way the most stupendous under
taking in history.
1.-THE Democratic party passed the
federal reserve laws, which has made
US the creditor nation of the earth.
"The Democratic party passed the
federal farm loan law, which enables
the farmer to borrow money ON long
term notes at low rates of interest in
order that theSfarms of our country
might be developed and our food sup
ply made secure.
| "The Democratic party passed the
| Underwood tariff law under which our
nation saw the greatest prosperity in
its history.
1.-THE Democratic party and its lead
ers had control and won the war and
the Republican party during it's two
years of power has been unable to ev-
en- make treaty of peace.
"The Democratic party passed the
Smith-Lever Agricultural Extension
Act, established the Bureau of Mar
kets, the Bureau of Farm Manage
ment, the cotton future act, the grain
grades bill, the cooperative farm ad-
ministration act, and the federal
warehouse act.
ut was the Democratic party which
developed the parcels post act and
gave the American people. relief from
the express companies trust.
"The Democratic party established
the Department of Labor and gave the |
laboring men a member in the Pres
ident's Cabinet.
"The Democratic party passed the
child labor act and the workingmen's
compensation act.
"The Democratic party established |
a women's bureau in the Department |
of Labor, which has since been de-
stroyed by Republican Congress,
Withholding appropriations for it's sup
port. SID
at was a Democratic President who
appeared before Congress andrsuysed
that the woman suffrage .amendMSnt |
be submitted to the States for, RATA
cation. Il, ~ \ |
"A list of other measures enacted
under Republican administration for |
the public welfare could be named,
but to what single measure can the
Republican party, since its two years
in power, point with pride in the in
terest of the great majority Of Amer
lean citizens? Let it be remembered |
that the Republican party has had a
majority in both branches of Con-
gress for the past two years.
"Our great leader, Woodrow Wilson,
was stricken down before his admin
istration came to close, but the great
record which the Democratic party
made under his leadership will alwaystb
be an inspiration to those who love
justice and to those whose hearts go
out to struggling humanity. He was
cut down in the prime of life, but his
words and deeds will be forever hon.
ored and cherished because he labored
for humanity with the ideals of the
Democratic party always before him
as his guiding star. Let those who
love justice and equality before the
law; let those who believe in serving
the masses rather than the classes;
let those who want to see America
take her rightful place as leader Of
nations strike hands with the Demo
cratic party, SO that progress and not
shall be our national policy"
