Johnson Delivers Address.
The address by Senator Jed J.
johnson OF Walters was the out
standing features OF the program.
rlea for a clean campaign in the
coming election. EMPHASIS on the
necessity OF strong democratic or
garlzation In every county in the
state, and a number OF raps at the
present republican congress were
the high.lights OF the address by
the Walters senator.
"All democrats should demand
clean, straightforward campaign on
the part Of those seeking offices.
The candidate who cannot win upon
his own merits deserves defeat"
johnson declared.
In this connection, the speaker
referred to the last republican ma.
tional campaign. declaring that II
was campaign of SANDER, abuse
and vlllifcation. ut was long
systematic campaign of false propa-
ganda against sick mana wound
Ell man. Although they won a tenn
pordry victory. it has already be-
gun to react" he declared, con-
tiLuing: 81 am not a hero wor.
shirer, but when all those malefac-
tors like the Lodges, the Roots, the
Hardings and the Hiram Johnsons |
have long since been forgotten, the
name of Woodrow Wilson win live
on end on and children yet unborn
will be taught to love and revere |
the sacred memory Of the name of
Woodrow Wilson,
Takes Rap at Congress.
The speaker declared that cop
gress had been in session almost
constantly since the republicans re-
gained power and has failed to give
the promised relief. Johnson said
that the sins of the present congress
are largely those Of omission rather
than those of commission. He
pointed out that the farmers are
sorely disappointed WITH the present
congress. Every article on which
a tariff has been placed has gone
down and only those articles on
which there has been no tariff tink-
ering have risen in price," he as
serted
Johnson severely criticized the re.
publican congress for its failure to
pass a much needed foreign immi'
grafton bill The present law ex'
pires July |, next, and that unless
some anti-immigration legislation rs
enacted the gates of the United
States will be thrown open to Hitter
ate foreigners, the speaker asserted.
That the present republican con-
gress will not pass a satisfactory
adjusted compensation bill for ex.
service men, was the prediction
made by the Cotton county senator
Differences of the two dominant
parties were briefly discussed by the
speaker. "The republican party be-
lieves in a strong centralized gov
ernment while the democratic party

state" he emphasized. "The repub-
lican congress is at this time de-
termined to pass AM anti,mob law
delogating to the national govern
ment the right Of the state to pun
ish its citizens for crimes which are
purely local. The excuse they give
IN for the Capitalization of power
is that we of the south are not CIV
ing proper protection to the most
viscious and depraved characters of
negro riminals. While all of us
are opposed to mob law, we resent
this false accusation and republican
encroachment upon state rights"
"The republican party is the
frieId of organized capital" john
son continued, while the democratic
party is the friend Of the poor. The
republican party has long stand
