Washington, NOV 3--W1th elec- ton day drawing near, the Republi-
 can situation in many sections looks desperate and in others hopeless.
 Confirmation of this view is found
 in the facts that President Harding
 has felt constrained to write letter
 to Republican Floor Leader Monde1l
 designed to raise Republican hopes,
 and in which he pleads for the re-
 election of the present Republican
 Do-Nothing Congress; that Williams R. Wood, Chairman of the Republican
 Congressional Committee, has been compelled to revise downward his pre- diction of a Republican majority in the next House, and that practically every member of the Presidents Cabinet has been sent out on the stump.
 The Republicans, panic stricken, are playing their last cards and ex- hausting their last resources.
 The Democrats on the other hand are approaching the final struggle with ca1mness and confidence. They are indulging in no extravagant S4<111GS. AhSy 1A0NC PkoSCo 1AA SAAC facts concerning this Congress and this administration and the issues of the campaign accurately and fully be- fore the public and they feel now that no amount of 1etter-writing by the President, or belated campaign oratory by members of the Cabinet can explain away. the dan1ning facts that constitute the record of this Re- publican Congress which is asking for reelection and this Republican ad- rninistration 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 a Prof. teer's Tariff bill which taxes the people from $3,0Oo,O0O,- 900 to s4,OOO, 100000, 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 en- acted tax bill which relieved the big and multi-millio lionaire taxpayers of more than half billion dollars, and increased the taxes of | ing no relief to small individual tax payers.
 That Truman H. Newberry was giv- en a purchased seat in the United | States Senate, with the open support of President Harding, and was con- demned by the very men who voted to seat him.
 That the administration is now fac ing an admitted deficit of S65O, ,OOO,- poo for the current fiscal year, which will be O,OOO,O0O and perhaps ST. D00, 100000 before the end of the year, while pretending that it was sconomizing and saving money.
 That the expenses of running every jingle department of the government lave been largely increased by this administration when fairly compared with the last Democratic administra- ion. i-
 That the last of the naval oil re- eyes in Wyoming were secretly ' eased by the Secretary of the Inter. pr to a subsidiary of the Standard ,il Company, with great loss to the ation and the state and to the Unit d States navy and the oil-burning I hips of the American Merchant ! [arine.
 That the administration is now at I to put through legislation to ;spoae of s3,OnO, 100000 worth of f le finest merchant ships afloat for t ne-tenth of their cost. to pay $780,, cO,OoO bonus to the purchasers, to nd them $123,O0O, ,0c" at 2 per cent i. nd to exempt them from taxation S
