SECRETARY OF LABOR IN SPEECH AT SHERIDAN

SHERIDAN, wyo, Oct. 24AThat the Republican ad-
ministrahon has been one of great achievement despite
the precarious situation in which it found the nation ar

partisan poison gas squads of the Democratic party" to
besmirch its records, was the assertion of James /. Davis.
day night.
Hundreds were turned away from the theater in which
the cabinet member made his talk. Characterizing Con-
gresham Frank w. Mondell as the great leader of a con-
gress that has made an unprecedented record and re-
turned the nation to an era of prosperity" Secretary
Davis said:
You voters of Wyoming sent us that man to Washing
ton. he is a great, vital force there and is needed. You
must send him back in November as United States sena-
Whenever | have wanted anything from congress for
me working men and women have gone to Frank w.
Mondell and he has seen that | got it."
Dealing with the achievements of the administration,
Secretary Davis said:
Under the wise legislation of the Republican con-
gress and the sane execution of the laws by the Repub-
lican administration we have brought America back to
prosperity from the industrial depression where we Ian
guished when President Harding went to Washington.
But the. political mud singers and partisan poison gas
SQUADS OF the Democratic party are abroad in the land.
W have put back to work the five or six million men
VINO were walking. the streets i'll idleness when the DEM
ocratc regime ended.
w have Topped a round billion from the enormous
national debt they built up.
have cut the tremendous tax burden thew imposed
upon the people by $50, 000o.
I'VE have brought the Liberty Bonds held by the peo-
pie back to 100 per cent value, after Democratic inefi-
cheney had forced them down to IS cents on the dollar.
We have put the nation on a basis of peace and pros
per1ty, but the Democratic Tanters must rant.
Elsewhere than in Wyoming they have selected for
their prime point of attack the protective tariff that e-
sentially American principle which is always the red flag
to the Democratic political bull. They do not talk much
about the tariff out here because they know they cannot
fool you people with their economic quackery. Our
emergency tariff law encouraged our business men, aided
the farmer, rehabilitated American industry and helped
put our millions of idle working men back to work; but a
Democrat cannot see virtue in it and every Democrat who
goes to congress adds to the enemies of protection there.
The American workman earning American wages in
the tariH-protected industries goes to make up a large
farmers and wool growers and cattle raisers of the West
must depend for a market for your products. Unless he
earns American wages he cannot pay high American
prices for American goods. If you drive his pay down
10 the level of the European workman by Putting him in
unprotected competition with foreign-made goods, you
atonce cut down the demand for your farm products. The
net result will be to put the American on farm and mill
and mine and factory on a standard OF living as low as
that of the underpaid European workman. -
Il heard recently about a concession granted to a man
ufacturer in Russia by the Russian government. 1t pro-
vided that the concession should be null and void if the
manufacturer should pay to any workman he might en-
ploy more than the equivalent of two loaves of bread for
a days work. God forbid that the American workman
or the American farmer should ever have to sell his prod
ucts in competition with goods produced by labor en-
ployed at such wages as that" W -.
