vogue during the incumbency of
the titular heads of the party, he
was left in no position to protest
the inaccuracies of any of the state
ments made by the speaker, as every
charge of gross incompetency that
Mr.. Miller uttered is a matter of
record and susceptible of unas-
sailable proof.
In characteristic manner he
brought forcibly to the attention of
his hearers that the people have
duty of patriotism in times of peace
as well as in times of war, and that
the ballot is the weapon of patrio-
tism in peace. He enumerated some
of the outstanding achievements of
the present administration in the
scant year and half it has been
seeking to bring order out of chaos
in this country. 1t is our duty, Mr..
Miller said, to send Republicans to
the Senate and to Congress in order
to assist, to the full extent of our
ability, the Harding administration
to rehabilitate this country and its
governmental institutions.
Reminding the audience of the
chaotic state of affairs two years
ago, he pointed out the necessity
for sending Republicans to the ma
tional legislature in order to COM
plete the unfinished work which has
been attacked so fearlessly by the
party now in power
The Republicans have reduced
taxes $819,000,000 in spite of a
filibuster led by a certain Demo-
cratic senator whom we all know.
Mr.. Miller enumerated approx
mately fifty-seven varities of taxes
under which the citizens of this
great republic had been staggering
during Democratic rule-he con-
cluded with the statement that there
were few, if any, of the necessities
OF life that were not taxed, and
that he had feared along about that
time that they would soon put
meters on our windpipes and charge
us for the air we breathe. This
brought hearty laughter from the
crowd.
Regarding the avalanche of Demo-
cratic propaganda which is flooding
the nation at this particular time,
Mr.. Miller urged his hearers to not
be misled by this grandstand play
and the false popularity of certain
candidates for office who are affili-
ated with that party. 1t is a de-
fusion to ensare the unwary, and
the speaker urged each man and
woman to carefully consider the
questions at issue before forming an
opinion, and then to vote for the
party that is doing real constructive
work in building up the country,
the patriotic party that adheres to
the policies of Washington and Lin
coin, and seeks to build-not tear
down-the institutions of this great
republic.
Another fact cited by Mr.. Miller
as worthy of serious consideration,
was that while the Democratic party
has been continually criticising and
picking flaws with the party in
power for the last year and a half,
it has advanced not one single con-
structive policy that would aid in the
work now under way.
Referring to the tremendous waste
of funds by the Democratic admins
tration in its preparations for war
after the war was over, Mr.. Miller
said:
1.-The Democratic secretary of war
shipped 10000 automobiles to France
after the war was over. He manu-
featured over 1000, 900 shells after
the war was over. He spent mil
lions for plans to make war ma
terials after the war was over.
cannon costing $54,OOO each were
made after the war was over"
The speaker also reminded the
people that the country had never
been prosperous under a Demo-
cratic tariff, but had always been
prosperous under a Republican tariff.
The speech evoked long and con-
tlnuos applause, at it's close, and
throughout its entire delivery rapt
attention was accorded the speaker,
who is an orator out of the ordinary.
without any of the affectedness that
too often mars the effect of ex-
temporaneous delivery.
At the end of the speechmaking
the crowd was invited to repair to
the Nixon opera house and par
ticipate in a dance in commemora-
ton of the event.
