DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
This Is A Democratic Year.


lican Floor Leader Mondell designed to
raise Republican hopes, and in which he
pleads for the reelection OF the present
Republican Do-Nothing Congress; that
William R. Wood. Chairman Of the Repub-
lican Congressional Committee. has been
compelled to revise downward his predic-
ton Of Republican majority in the next
House, and that practically every member
Of the Presidents Cabinet has been sent
ont on the stump.
The Republicans, panic stricken, are
playing their last cards and exhausting
their last resources.
The Democrats on the other hand are
approaching the final struggle with calm
ness and confidence. They are indulsine
in no extravagant claims They have
placed all the facts concerning this Con-
eress and this administration and the
ssues Of the campaign accurately and fully
before the public. and they feel now that
no amount of letter-writine by the Presi-
dent. or belated campaign oratory by MEM
bers of the Cabinet can explain away the
damning facts that constitute the record
OF this Republican Congress which is asking
for reelection and this Republican admin
istration which has injected itself into the
campaign at the eleventh hour
They cannot explain away any Of the
following outstanding facts Of that record !:
That this Congress passed Profiteers'
Tariff bill which taxes the American people
from $3.O00,000.000 to S4.000,000.00O
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 enacted
a tax bill which relieved the big corpora
tons and multimillionaire taxpayers Of
more than a half billion dollars, and in
creased the taxes of every small corpora
'''1. while dranting no relief to small

That the expenses Of running every

been largely increased by this administra
tion when fairly compared with the las
Democratic administration.
That the last of the naval oil reserves il
Wyoming were secretly leased by the Sec

the Standard Oil Company. with great los
to the nation and the State and to tn
United States Navy and the oil-burninI
ships of the American Merchant Marine.
That the administration is now attempt
Ing to put through legislation to dispose o
S3.000,000,000 worth Of the finest mer
chants ships afloat for one-tenth Of thei
cost. to pay $750.000.000 bonus to tn
purchasers. to lend them $i25, 100000 a
2 per cent and to exempt them from taxa
ton.
That under an executive order Of Presi
dent Harding. midnight raid was mad
upon the officials of the Bureau of Engrav
ing and Printing. and that men and wome
who had won those positions through mer
were cast into the street with suspicio
amounting to the charge Of dishonest
against them. which has been disprovet
but brought them no redress.
That this administration has been chaI
acterized by Daughertyism, Nat Goldsteir
ism. Laskerism. Fallism and other ism
resulting in scandals that constitute o.
lenses. political and moral.
That the Civil Service has been trample
under foot and supplanted by the spo
system. and that in some instances it
charged that appointments have actual
been bought and sold.
That special privilege has been Ell
throned in matters of legislation and tn,
the administration has turned its ba,
upon the masses the people.
That without exception every piece
beneficial legislation passed by this Coz
gress had the support Of Democrats, al
much Of the bad legislation passed wou
have been still worse except for Dem
cratic amendments, which won the suppo
Of the small progressive element amor
Republican Legislators.
That the one boosted achievement Of Il
administration Disarmament COME
ence-has resulted in no benefit whatevt
No ships have been strapped, no mon,
has been saved and no desired rest
achieved. Neither France nor Italy h

reasons why they do not intend to rati
them.
That the present Congress is not on
inefficient but incompetent. bankrupt
leadership, principles and policies
That the present administration is Il
only one in the history Of the country III,
went upon the rocks in its first year
That the record OF both the Conere
and the administration is a record of brok,
promises and OF failure to give any reli
to business men, farmers and laborers. az
that the Congress is therefore unworthy
reelection and the administration III
worthy OF endorsement.
These are only the outstanding fact
There are hundreds of collateral fac
which could be cited. The people kno
them. and they will act upon them @
November 7th.
