New Ulm review., 1922-11-01

seruent Judge an illegal injunction
against the strike. Preus cannot
stomach such man. If there is any
thing that he has ever done to ALLEVIATE
from him all support Of progressives Of
every party, it is his action in this
case, which, it is logical to deduct, was
dictated by railroad interests.
Republicans Are Desperate.
With election day drawing near, the
Republican situation in many sections
looks desperate and in nlanys Qthsears hers
hopeless. Confirmation Of this view
IS found IN the facts thaty President
Harding has felt, constrained TO Sn4ita y
letter to Republican Floor Leader Mon
dell designed to raise Republican hopes,
md in which he pleads for the re-elec-
tion Of the present Republican Do
Nothing, Congress; that William R.
Wood, Chairman Of the Republican
Congressional Committee, has been
compelled to revise downward his pre-
diction Of a Republican majority in
the next House, and that practically
every member Of the Presidents
Cabinet has, been sent out on the
stump.
The Republicans, panic stricken, are
playing their last cards and exhausting
their last resources, but they cannot
explain away any of the following
outstanding facts Of their record:
That this Congress passed q Prof.
teers' Tariff bill which taxes the Amer
lean people from $3,000,000,O00 to
50, 100000, an amount equivalent
to the total sum required to run the
government, and which will greatly
increase the present high cost OF living.
That this Republican Congress en-
acted tax bill which relieved the big
corporations and multi-millionaire tax
payers of more than half billion dol
lars, and increased the taxes of every
small corporation, while granting no
relief to small individual taxpayers.
That Truman H. Newberry was
given a purchased seat in the United
States Senate, with the open support
Of President Harding, and was con-
demned by the very men who voted
to seat him. Y
That the administration is now fac
ing an admitted deficit of $650,000,-
900 for the current fiscal year, which
will be $850,0O0,00O and perhaps
81 ,0OO,O00COO before the end of the
year, while pretending that it was econ
omizing and saving money.
That the last of the. naval oil re-
serves in Wyoming was secretly leased
by the Secretary Of the Interior to a
subsidiary Of the Standard Oil Com
pany, with great loss to the nation
and the state and to the United States
navy and the oil-burning ships of the
American Merchant Marine.
That the administration is now ct
tempting to put through legislation to
dispose Of .$3,oOO,000,0O0 worth of the
finest merchant ships afoat for one
tenth Of their cost, to pay $750,OOO,-
900 bonus to the purchasers, to lend
them $125,0O0,O0O at per cent ard
to exempt them from taxation.
That under an executive order of
President Harding, a midnight raid
was made upon the officials Of the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing,
and that men and women who had
won those positions through merit
were cast into the street with suspi-
cion amounting to the charge Of dis
honesty against them, which has been.
disproved, but brought them no re-
dress.
That this administration has been
characterized by Daughertyism, Nat
Goldenstein, Laskerism, Falls and
other isms, resulting in scandals that
constitute offenses, political and moral.
That the Civil Service has been
trampled under foot and supplanted
by tie spoil system, and that in some
instances it is charged that appoint
ments have actually been bought and
sold.
That special privilege has been en-
throned in matters of legislation and
that the administration has turned
it's back upon the masses OF the people.
That the one boasted achievement OF
the administration the Disarma ment
Conference has resulted in no bene-
fit whatever. No ships have been
scrapped, no money has been saved and
no desired result achieved. Neither
France nor Italy has ratified the treaties,
and there are many reasons why they
do. not intend to ratify them.
That the present Congress is not.
only inefficient, but incompetent, bank
.rupt in leadership, principles and poll
ties. f,.'
That the present administration is
the only one in the history Of the
