en- do not vote in November, it will
mean the defeat of Cordell Hull,
our National Chairman, and the
defeat of the entire Democratic
ticket in Tennessee. lit will mean
that while Tennessee is still Dem
ocratic by a large majority, with
every reason to be so this year, the
Republicans will gain control be-
cause the Democratic women will
not stand'up and De counted. And
remember, please, that they can't
stand without a poll tax receipt,
and in nine cases out of ten the
husband still controls the family
purse.
"What | would say to the rank
and file of Democratic men on the
woman question is simply this;
Get your own heart right and loos-
en- your grip on the two dollars for
your wife's poll tax.
"Now, MS to our Nationalleaders,
it is to the credit of Mr.. Hull that
he has gone more than half way in
an effort to meet the situation.
He has not withheld the assurance
to women of 'ffty.fty basis of
participation in party affairs until
they have marshaled a fifty fifty
voting strength. Will he be as a
voice crying in the wilderness
ahead of his party, ahead of his
time, ahead even of the women of
his day?
Il have not talked to you of is-
sues There is a good crop of them
Eripening on the hill and out in the
field. Whatever those issues may
be, the party can not survive with
out the support of the women in
Democratic families. That is the
one fact you must see, admit and
deal with and / believe you will
fnd that I have placed my finger
upon the weak spot-the indiffer-
ence of the heads of those Demo-
cratic families"

Merel ly as "a reminder to our Re
publican friends who have assumed
responsibility for new tariff
measure: The House that passed
the Mckinley tariff measure was
made up of 169 Republicans and
161 Democrats. The succeeding
House was made up of 235 Demo.
Gratis and 88 Republicans. Two
years later, in 1892, Grover Cleve-
land was elected by tremendous
majority over Benjamin Harrison.
The disasters which came to the
Republicans as a result of the
Payne-Aldrich measure, in 1910
ard 1912, are two recent to call for
recital Yet the Fordpey. .Aldrich
measure is far more drastic than
either of it's mentioned ,predecess-

The old school house doors and
windows may resemble prison bars
to the average youpgster just re-

in the knowledge that those who
studiously acquired on education a
very small percentage of them ever
experience incarceration behind
the bars of a reel prison.

THE SOLDIERS
BONUS BILL

Approved by the Senate, AZ to
%, the soldiers bonus bill was sent
back Friday to the House, which
passed it last March. Party linee
were obiterated, sthe Democrats
and Reppblicane breaking about
even. The bill, as adopted, will
cost the American tax payers the
hugh sum of Sc, 45,659,48I.
The fate of the bill hangs in the
balance. President Harding has
repeatedly expressed his disap-
proval of the bill. In the event
he returns it with his veto, it's foes
claim to have sufficient votes in the
Senate to sustain the veto.
Not more inopportune time
than now could have been selected
to enact legislation favorable to the
soldiers bonus, and if the measure
goes down in defeat the boys must
not take it as significant that the
large majority of the American
people do not appreciate the great
service they rendered to their coun-
try, other nations of the world and
humanity in general, and that hey
are unmindful there is compensa
tion due them and unwilling it
should be paid.
The financial and industrial con-
ditions universally prevalent at
this time are mainly responsible
for the lack of interest or enthusi-
asm that otherwise would be turn
ed the other way around and favor-
able to granting the boys anything
they ask for.
In facing the situation squarely
the boys-must not lose sight of the
fact there are multitudes of people
who sacrificed to the limit in time
and money and faltered at nothing
that would aid the boys and help
them through the great crisis of
| the war period, and today they are
making the greatest efforts of their
lives to save their homes and meet
the heavy burdens brought upon
them by and is but the natural af-
termath Of the greatest conflict in
history. And upon top of this ig
the great turmoil and strife be-
tween corporations and the labor
unions which has further stagnated
the agricultural and other markets
and rendered unavailable many re-
turnable necessities.
Under such conditions we repeat
a more inopportune time could not
have been chosen TO provide legis-
lation that would rightly show the
boys how fully and deeply we ap.
preciate the fine, mauly, patriotic
service they rendered,
