DEMOCRATIC WOMAN SPEAKER
 CRITICIsEs REPUBLICAN ACT


 If you believe that the republican par ty is the best, then vote for it, but in these serious times consider that the re- publican party every minute 1t remains in control of our government is leopard. izing this country within and without, and get out and work for the democratic party, which stands for the things that mean the safety of America, was the keynote of the political speech made by Mrs. Robert Gadd of Hartford Thurs day night speaking to about a hundred ladies at the town hall, under the aus pices of the Norwich-Wide Democratic Women's club. ''
 Public opinion is one of the biggest things in politics today, said Mrs. Gadd, and both parties are out striving to Many of our people have not yet learned to vote intelligently and to give these people opportunity to learn about the issues of the campaign the parties pub lically announce their platforms and spread the truths among the voters.
 From 1912 to 1920 this country saw it's most profitable years under the dem ocratic control by the greatest man who has held the presidents office, Woodrow Wilson. Now under republican control we find the privileged class enjoying
 
 at $16 ton and none to be had, tariffs that put a tax on everything you use, from the time you arise in the morning | until you go to bed at night.
 "The republicans went into office with an overwhelming vote, and have had a case of standardization, never thinking l for a moment that the country expected them to carry out their campaign pledg- es. It has been a wiggle wobble govern ment conducted by men who worked for mo definite ideal, and under their man. agement our national wealth has decreas- ed, industrial depression is seen every pay it was sent to the president and ve-
 toed for a good reason, lack of funds to pay. Once a statesman said, Mil lions for defense, but not one cent foI tribute" The republican slogan for the Iex-service men is Millions for tribute to the privileged class and not one cent for tribute to those men who held theil lives cheap when our nation was in danger
 "The republican congress and govern
 ment is like a ship. President Harding
 stands with wobbly legs, asking others
 to help him guide the ship. His crew
 congress, is looking about to- see how the country likes the government, an(
 forgets to look for the chart, and we set
 the ship drifting with nothing to guid' it, no definite port in sight. Republicans can always get money fo : propaganda and they are spreading 1 about the country hoping it will b.
 swallowed by the voters. They. talk abou the tariff but we know 1t means ruin : for this country if the tariff is continue, and Europe which has no money, can not export to this country and pay fo , her imports in this way. Our shipping .I is affected and the republicans talk o , the ship subsidy bill to sell millions 0
 dollars worth of ships for almost noth ing and then loan money, three quar l. ters of a billion to aid the shipping in dustry. .9
 l '"The republicans to block. 2Prestden 2 Wilson held Senator Newbury in hi seat, a disgrace to the country, as hi vote was needed on committees to bloc l democratic acts for the good of tn y country.
 s ."The republicans tell of the great dis armament conferences but know tha X President Wilson gained the signature 2 of all of the nations but America in tn
 League of Nations, while President Hard 6 ing has gained the signatures of onl e a few countries. All their propagand 6 | is along these misleading lines, and whe
 they quote merchants and nanufactul ~ CTS as saying that these are proSperoC r times, we know the times are not ;pros r porous for the people and If this is r' j. publican prosperity then give me demo V cratic hard times"
 3, The speaker closed by speaking abo, r the various democratic candidates sta d ing that they should all be elected to O g flee for each and every one was pledge
 and would vote for the things of henet
 to the country, one great thing beir the tariff questions which the democra - want taken from politics and given charge of commission that will stud g the subject and levy fair tariffI rat 5, that will not be of peril to this countl y and favor special few, like MT. Mello ' the aluminium king, who gave S26,ot
 to the republican cause, for the prote e tion he gets on aluminium from abroa .' The meeting closed when Presidel y Mrs. Elizabeth F. Drew thanked u r. speaker and called for rising vote l. thanks. Seated on the platform wi n the speaker and president of the VI IS mems club was Miss May Kflday, re Il resenting the National Alliance of Der j., ocratic Women. An invitation was e s- tended to all to come to the Wauregi t. house, Room 5, next Tuesday evenil a- to hear the election returns as they cor II in by special wire. ..{
