settled quickly. But, dear friends, if these same critics could only understand the things that block the speedy ac- complishment of a definite programme and a just settlement of affairs; if they could understand all the committee work, conferences and discussions that are necessary to secure even majority opinion of the more than 400 men who sit in the house of representatives, l am certain they would understand and see the reason for the apparent delay; that would understand that congress really does accomplish bis things with comparative speed.
 The s1th congress accomplished wealth of good work whose benefits each one Of us is enjoying today. The great national debt, burdeHsome taxes and many other such tremendous problems faced the 9th congress when summoned in special session by President Harding. The democrats while in power either could not or would hot put their house in order and Solve them. These prob lems were left for the republican con- gress.
 Rolling up their sleeves, your officials at Washington, from Presidevt Harding down the line pitched into this tangled mess. So much has been accomplished since then that I feel sure if you were really conversant with the facts that you would say, Let the republican party see | us through"
 The reduction of the national debt by three billions of dollars thereby saving
 the county millions in interest has been one of the accomplishments of the re-
 publican congress. Because of the na- tionwide confidence in the ability of the republican officials to give the nation a
 business administration, liberty bonds have returned to par. Because of this the workingman who periodically invest.

 of his hard earned cash. This repuou'
 can congress has also abolished the SO II callsA "nuisance' taxes" the obnoxiouI
 sur-tax that was diverting money from

 You ask how could all this revenu'
 amounting to billions be cut off and tn , government pay its bills. It was possi , ble through the reduction of the person ?. nel of the army and navy, expenditure | were rigidly scrutinized by congress an
 no appropriations were passed until thei . absolute need was determined throug investigation by congress. The budget bill passed by republican
 congress has also resulted fin tremendou , savings. The nation today has It's budge
 system for expenditures just the same a f any great corporation or big business I It has literally saved millions of tn
 peoples money. It was this budget bi a that a republican congress passed an f President Wilson vetoed. It was re-er :. acted and immediately approved by Pre-!
 ident Harding.
 }, The congressman also told hIs audient | of the republican legislation that hs n passed congress in the last session
 benefit to women and children in u l. home, the school and factory; for farr |. CTS and for labor. "All of this legisli
 tion has combined to make for bett 6 American homes and to make AmeriC n a better nation in which to dwell. W 5. of the republican party invite all voter y men and women, to inspect and stut l. the party record, both in WaEhingtt
 and in Connecticut. We are confide d that after such scrutiny what we ha' ' done will meet with your full approv l. and that on next Tuesday, rain or shin t you will lgo to the polls and vote Il
