10 Democrats" congratulating and
complimcnting his party members on
what, he said. had been their con
structire. not obstructive, attitude
toward the Republicans administration
so far' but assuring them that tho
people are losing confidence in tho
ability of the present national ad-

political conditions.
This, our nations birthday. our
most patriotic holiday" Mr.. Whites
statement said. "seems an appropri-
ate time for me to make n statement
concerning national conditions and
the attitude of our party, whose
founders were tho most conspicuous
of the nations founders.
Snys Rcnsons Arc Political.
throughout the nation there la
much present uneasiness and much
apprehension for the future; the rea-
sons are political. which is my rea-
son for making this statement.
More than two years ago, a world
peace was made at Versailles. but.
for partisan political reasons, this ma
ton Is not yet ut peace with the
enemy nations of tho war, which ad.
mittedly cannot be made by con-
sressional resolution. Business has
reached such depression that bitter
complaints are heard from the busi-
ness world. Foreign trades, has. de :
clined almost to the vanishing point
Agriculture Is PROSTATE. Taxation and
governmental expenditures are at tho
Ximum in our history. The trc-
mendous percentage OF idleness in
the ranks or labor is almost unprc-
cedcnted
iius Not Rcmedicd Conditions.
FOR more than two years the Re-
publican party has been in charge of
the legislative branch of the govern
mcnt: for four months it has been in
actual charge OF all departments of
the government. but it has not rcmc-
died nor alievated these conditions.
and, so far. has failed of any ma
tcrial accomplishment. The peopls
are losing confidence in the ability OF
the present national administration
to provide adequate remedies for the
conditions described.
During the period OF the Republi-
can party's return to power, the
Democratic party's attitude iowa rds
it's opponent has been constructive,
not obstructive: helpful, not hurtful,
and il has given the party in power
a fair chance.
Il take this patriotic occa sion to
congratulate and compliment the
Democratic party upon it's attitude
toward the Republican administra-
ton; on its forbearance towards the
executive and its efforts Of construc-
rive helpfulness in legislation. plac-
ing the interests of the country above
partisan interests. again proving its
moral and political integrity, its true
patriotism and its devotion to the in
terests of the nation and its people,
