Republican administration take
this Nation during the past few
that is the day of all days that
counts, because the ballots as
they come out Of the box will de
termine who will be your Repre-
sentative for the next two years
in Congress. And so, therefore
let me urge as strongly as | can.
the necessity of your being al
the polls on election day and to
see to it that the full Democratic
vote of this great county OF Mad
ison is polled on election day,
which will mean the return OF
your distinguished member q
Congress.
My friends, as Democrats you
and | have a right to be proud OF
the great leaders the Democratic
party has given to this republic
With Thomas Jefferson as OF,
founder, and then on down to the
days Of Monroe and OF old jack
son, and then after the war day
came Cleveland with his great
administration and in recent year.
there came a man who was thI
peer and equal of any OF them, 1
man who saw the great vision
that was ahead, not only in this
nation, but III the nations Of the
earth, that stricken man i'll Wash
ington who gave all that he had
in order that the principles OF
the Democratic party might live,
no other man than Woodrow
Wilson.
Now, | think I can make the
statement without fear Of con-
tradiction, that under the eight
years Of the Wilson administra-
ION, when we rad a Democratic
House and a Democratic Senate.
with that great statesman in the
White House as leader OF our
party, that those eight years were
the most happy, prosperous eight
years that the American people
have ever seen in all the history
of this republic. Take the record
for yourselves and examine it.
[ realize | speak in a great, rich
agricultural country. because the
basis of our business prosperity
in this county. in this state, in
fact, is the nation, depends upon
the prosperity of the American
farmer, and | believe I can state
without fear of contradiction that
during the eight years of the
Wilson administration the farm
ers of America got the best prices
for farming products, and that
business is all the land from one
end to the other of the nation
was prosperous under the poll
! cies and leadership. Of Woodrow
Wilson and the, Deilee4atie par
lty.
| can. recall when as a young
man just entering politics about
the time that Cleveland went into
the White House there was a
great panic sweeping the country
just as he was inaugurated as
President. The panic was on
! Under two years of Republican
rule it had been brought about.
remember how the Republican
campaign committee sent out lit
tie post cards in order to fool tbs
people during. that campaign
sending them especially to tht
farmers, the cards containing il
beautiful colors, a shock of wheat
or a shock of corn, or a beautiful
little lamb, and under them woulC
put the price the farmer was
getting under the Cleveland az
ministration back in 1898. Nj
fellow citizens during the pas
few years you have not seen
Republican campaign committee
sending out any pretty little pos
cards telling about the prices tht
farmer received during the eigh-
years of Wilson'S administration
and Democratic policies, because
| those prices were better for tn,
