s3eawal of the League OF Nations
4kastion from the present Demo
cratic campaign throughout tn
country.
1t was Senator DUPONT who ut
tered the denunciation of the Dem.
ocratic campaign as being a cam
paign merely of criticism, and not
Offering any solution of the nations
problems.
The meeting was opened by An
fhony Corletto. who presided. HIS
eaening remarks were in italian.
Nayor Harvey the first speaker. al
50 gave a good portion of his talk
in the native language of the great
majority OF his auditors.
Throughout, the speeches { n
crowd OF Italian Club members APP
plauded the high points made in the
addresses and gave evidence that
their support will be with the entire
Republican ticket al the elections
next Tuesday.
The speakers touched on various
questions of the country of today and
contrasted the records OF the Repub-
.Ncan party with that OF the Demo-
.eratic party.
Senator DUPONT in the course of
MS address said:
"You have delighted me very
much in giving me an opportunity
70 talk TO you this evening. II is
our duty as Republicans. in the Ian
.gnage Of the day. 10 go 10 II, from
now until the polls close on the eve
ming OF November z. So far, with
one exception, 1 have carefully con-
fined myself and all other Republic
can speakers have confined them
selves 10 the issues at stake. to the
principles Of the party. and sin
cerely hope that every Republican
working in the interest OF the Re-
publican party will confne himself
TO- facts, to principle and to. the
Issues before the people, and TO show
bv,facts and figures, which can easily
be.done, why the Republican party is
the party TO keep in power in Wash
ington.
-erOur Democratic friends have. on
many occasions, gotten TO PERSONAL
ties, this, of course Is an indication
that they have no facts TO prove that
xhe emocratic principles are right |
and all the figures show that the Re-
public marty is the party that con-
structs, the party that does things. /
that II is the business party. When
The Democrats discuss personalities,
make their speeches personal and
do not debate or speak on the issue.
II IS a pretty good sign that they
Themselves think the issues OF very
little value. II indicates they have
few facts 10 back the principles for
which they say they stand.
THE Democrats are critic.sinz the
tariff. while many OF them voted for
all the tariff or at least for the tarin
On articles produced in the South.
They are not against the tariff In
their own States. Somebody well
said many years ago. that after all,
the tariff IL a local issue,-if II pro-
tects the local industries in your
State. you should be for II. and gem
orally speaking. all the Democrats
IN the Southern States are strongly
for protection for things produced in
their own communities, but are not
necessarily in favor OF protection for
the commodities that are produced
out OF their baliwicks especially in
the North. The protection list on
the Republican side, however, is for
protection TO the American indus
tries; which means TO the American
workmen. I will say. with figures to
back my stand. that the tariff. in adj
Ution to protecting the American
workingman.. andrherefore theAmer-
lean manufacturer. is going TO hurt a
good many profiteers. For Instance,
gloves that sold abroad for 27h
cents per pair. sold in America for
5000 per pair.-the duty was 10
cents. cost landed in the United
States fifty cents.-profit $3.50 or 500 ,
per cent This Is prohteering. A Z
pearl necklace, the wholesale for
e1en price of which is s12.25. the
saty was about half. was purchased /,
M America for $3.50. Here again =,
was a profit of about $40. or no per
cent. A set OF table knives cost 3S
cents per dozen foreign wholesale
urfce. on which there is a duty of J
SO per cent. or say 10 cents. landing
charges &c, total soc, sold for s360 Z
GA $50 per cent. Again profiteering. I
