session of Congress in American history
There is no necessity of having to this point
The up and speaks for ITSELF cannot be
refuted It cannot be minmized. No honest reputable
newspaper writer will attempt to deny the
record of accomplishments by the special session of Con-
gress. No Republican newspaper will apologize for the
record.
Personal and interests which failed to jam their
pet measures through the special session have conducted
campaign misrepresentation of the Congress- Demo-
cratic interests-especaly the proWson worshippers
have done the thing The radical group that wants
government ownership and state socialism has done the
same thing.
The special session of the Republican Congress en-
into law nearly measure suggested by Presl-
dnt Harding his message of April r. No chief exec
utve ever got such high percentage of his requests
granted by the legislative branch of government as Pres
dent Harding did at the hands OF the republican Con-
gress just adjourned.
When the Congress convened the agricultural inter-
ests the nation in critical condition They
protection and financial assistance The response
of the Congress instant and without precedent With
in ninety days it made provisions whereby the agr
cultural and live interests of the United States
were extended practically unlimited credit The farmers
home market proected his exports were financed;
OOOOO added to his farm loan funds and the in
tet charges decreased gambling in grain to his detri-
ment was stopped by the CapperTincher law, and ex-
potaton of the livestock interests was stopped by the
Packers and Stockyards Act!
Within ninety days the special session of the Repub-
can Congress enacted helpful, constructive,
tecve legislation behalf of the basic industry of agri
culture the sessions Of Congress in any 1Oyear
period of American history, put together!
Why, then should Republican papers, especially those
in the corn belt sit by and let such Congress be mis-
represented and maligned openely by the Democratic
press and speakers and adroy damned by special
respondents writing for syndicates and in the of
Democratic newspapers and Democratic bankers?
But as the list of important laws enacted clearly
shows the agricultural interests not the only inter
receiving prompt and attention at the hands
of the Republican Congress-
Labor was protected by restrictive immigration law
from vertable deluge of foreign workmen who would
competed for jobs and added millions to the ranks
of unemployed untold distress and misery to Ameri
can laboring classes.
The broken down, inefficient ramshackle machinery
the Democratic administration to take of the
thrown in the discard and in its place
the Veterans bureau organized the whole work of
taking care of exservice co-ordinated speeded
and put on business basis, which enables buddy
get prompt attention and have his just claims speed
y paid Under the legislation put the books by the
special session not disabled ex-service but and
get the assistance the government owes him and get
it promptly.
The great humane piece of legislation Maternity
and Infancy Act-pronounced by to be the most
forward bit of legislation since the suffrage amendment
was enacted!
Peace was officially restored, wartime powers auto
natically abolished foreign given aid and stmu
ated current federal expenditures cut hundreds of mil
ions federal reduced by nearly billion and the
executive branch of the government given budget law
whereby administration of public affairs be put
business plane and conducted economically!
All this done by a Republican Congress in less
han six months of actual working time!
