President Harding has been presi-
dent for only six months, but the ma
jority of the promises have already
been kept, and the others are being
worked on but take time and study.
President Harding in recent letter
to Senator Medill Mccormick states
that the appropriations for the current
fiscal year will total THREE-QUAR-
TERS OF A BILLION DOLLARS
LESS THAN THE EXPENDITURES
FOR LAST YEAR, A BILLION AND
A HALF LESS THAN THE LAST
ADMINISTRATION ASKED OF
CONGRESS AND THREE BILLIONS
LESS THAN WE'RE APPROPRIAT-
ED FOR THE SECOND PRECEDING
FISCAL YEAR.
Then, here in this campaign book
is promise to enact a budget law
That law was promptly passed and was
signed by President Harding and un-
der its. provision the various depart
ments of the government are working
7 in harmony so that two or more depart
ments will not be spending money for
the same kind of work, and the money
of the taxpayers will be saved.
Here again is pledge to revise
the immigration laws so that we will
have a better class of immigrants.
That pledge has also been kept by the
enactment of n law which President
Harding has signed.
Another important pledge made by
the Republicans last year was liberal
legislation for the care of the disabled
and infirm veterans of the Epropean
war When the Republicans came into
power in March there were thousands
of disabled veterans who were not able
to secure the hospital attention or the
vocational training to which they were
entitled. This evil has been remedied
and the soldier relief agencies have
been consolidated 30 that the claims
of soldiers can and do receive prompt
attention.
Two of the most difficult tasks
the Republicans undertook were the
revision Of the tariff and internal rev.
ehue laws. Bills on these two subjects
nave already passed the house, and
senate committees are now working on
them and will have them ready for
action soon after the end of the pres.
ent recess.
There has been no regular session
OF congress since the Republicans came
into power. This is a special session
ana 1t has passed more constructive
legislation than any other session of
congress in the same length of time.
You are absolutely right in telling
your piaymates that the Republicans
nave kept their promises. You ea,N
also safely tell them that the Demo.
Gratis broke every promise they made

into power in 1872

HOW REPUBLICAN, PROMISEs
HAVE BEEN KEPT

{" Here's the book. Now you can
see for yourself and tell me what Pres
ident Harding and the Republican
party have done to keep those prom
ises.' One of Jacks playmates, who
was always good friend but son Of
strong Democrat, had found Be-
publican campaign book with the prom
;ses made by the Republican party be-
fore election as to what would be
done if that party came into power.
He had heard his father talk and was
of the firm opinion that these promises
haG not been kept, but, as usual, Jack
was ready for him.
"All right said Jack. Suppose
you hold on to that book while / go
got Uncle Ted. You know, and SO does
everyone else around here know, that
Uncle Ted tells the truth. He will tell
you about everything in there"
So Jack was off on a run to the
garage where Uncle Ted was working
on his car. "Uncle Ted, Johnny is out
in the yard with book of Republican
pi omises, and he thinks he is so funny,
limiting that none of them has been
kept. Please come out and tell us
about it.''
'Just when IN covered with grease,
toc,' said Uncle Ted. "But all
right. IN come out, but let's hurry
up.
"Well, Johnny, let IS start i'll on
these promises Let me have the book
and IN read one for starter. First
OF all we were promised that there
would be plan for an association of
nations to promote peace and disarma
ment that we could join without losing
our honor and independence
What's been done about thatf''
asked Johnny.
"First of all we are participating
in the allied councils as listeners,
and President Harding has called the
great armaments conference, the first
practical move towards real peace il
the history of the world.
Here is another: We were prom
ised that conditions surrounding thu

would be settled. The senate is now
working on bill which will give tn,

We were also promised that peace be
