Uncle Ted'S Bedtime Stories
Republican Record of Aid and Relief for Former Soldiers
Democratic States Have Done Nothing

II don't know about it," said Jacl
but ] just bet Freddie's mother Il
all wrong"
Wrong about what?" asked
Uncle Ted. who put down his even.
ing paper to join in the conversa-
ton.
Well" said Ruth, Freddie told
me that although his father was a
| Democrat his mother voted the Re-
publican ticket last election but she
read some place that the Republi-
cans have not been treating the ex-
soldiers fairly and after talking to
another lady who agreed with the
story she is thinking of joining the
Democratic party"
Maybe you can show her where
the story and the other lady are all
wrong suggested Uncle Ted" be-
cause there isn't one bit of truth
in any statement that the present
administration or Republican States
have treated the eX-service men
unfairly l have already told you
about what fine work has been done
at Washington in completing the
many new hospitals throughout the
country and enlarSing others so as
to make everything as comfortable
as possible for every man wounded
during the war. There is that to
begin with.
Then the facts show that the
Democrats are the ones who have
been AGAINST ASSISTING THE
EX-SOLDIER. II might interest
those who are trying TO discredit the
aid given the ex-service men by Re
publican States to know that a total
of S36S. 100000 in cash has been,
paid the ex-soldiers by Republican
States through Republican leglsla-
turesl In addition to this large fig
ure the New York legislature voted
TO give their men a bonus of S45,-
100000 but the high courts of the
state ruled II unconstitutional. Cali
fornia, another Republican State, has
voted S1O.OOO.0O0 in bonds which
will be issued for ex-service men and
their dependents to provide for edu-
cation. training in various vocatiOns
and for cash aid in buying homes
and farms"
Haven't any Democratic States
done anything for the sold!ers?"
asked Jack.
Jack" answered Uncle Ted, you
have heard OF the Solid South
that part OF the country made up of
States where the Democrats are in
absolute control. In those States
little or nothing has been done for
the ex-service man. Neither did
the Democrats do anything for the
ex-soldiers when they were in con-
troll of the Congress at Washington. !
II you want further proof of the |
disregard for the ex-soldier by the |
Democratic party you do not have to |
stop with the late war. 1t was the |
same with the Civil War and Span
sh American War veterans. The |
men who fought for their country |
have always had to look to the Re
publican party TO give them the aid
necessary to put them on their
'eet."
"Have Republican States done
lnything besides voting a bonus?"
