The overw helming victory OF
yaaaAor Eolln1in In the Ma.

Senator LaFc!!ette in the Wis.
consin primary election last
week does not surprise US.
While Senator LaFo.lette may
have offended the patriotism OF
the American people to a con
siderable degree during the war,
he was never so far from
the truth in his various state
ments during tha, period that
he was in any serious danger
OF alternating himself from the
confidence and affection OF the
people of the state he represents
f! in Congress. And this is 10 re-
Election upon the Amer icanism, j.,
loyalty or patriotism upon the
Wisconsin people, for the troops
from no other state in the Union
fought oftener in France, or
with greater bravery, or suffer
ed a higher percentage OF losses
than those from hat state. 1t
is said by those who oppose him.
that LaFollette is an ebstruc'
:ionist statesman and that he
hirders national progress. but
that is a view that does not win
our entire approval, for we have
often noted that his farcest at
tacks are directed against the
big p!undering interests tina.
are forever trying TO control the
affairs of the nation, and are
generally succeeding at It, We
loye a good fighter. and Senator

To put . decent face upon
their party for presentation to
the voters Of the country At the
coming election, our Democratic
friends draw some very uhrelia
bIe contrasts. For instance, AS
we have already shown before
in these columns. they place the
present economic conditions ol
the country in contrast with
those prevailing during the late
war, when their party was IN
power, giving themselves the
whole credit for that war time
prosperity ON their assumption
that it was the beneficent effect
of particular and peculiar poll
cies of the Democratic party ap
piled to governmental function
ing; and the Republican party
the entire discrsdit for the
re.apsed economic conditions
OF an extended reconstruction
AIRY period tha. has followed the
war. Then again, they are
bringing forward the admins
tion expenses OF the Wilson reg
ilne previous TO August, 1914.
and contrast them to their credl,
with the expenses Of the Har
ding administration since the
Republican party resumed con
troll in March, 1921 Any lover
OF fairness and truth must con
fess that these contrasts are
SO viciously out OF drawing that
both the above mentioned vir
tues are assaiied with an lncon
tiueuce that deserves nothing
else than public reproot. II
stands to reason that the war
time pros porous conditions coula
not be sustained IN peace times,
when the nation was seeking a
normal level again after tht
nomentous struggle. That was
As manifest long before it was
even indicated by the American
people that they would retire
the Democratic party from pow
er in 1870 as i: is nos. 1t stands
20 reason also that if Democratic
efficiency had anything whatever
tn do with the creation Oi our
war time prosperity, that part,
Immediately lost its grip In
tha. respect ouoe the last shot
was fired. 1t stands just a.
much TO reason, too. that The
routine eos. 81 government
anus. be higher for consider
able period after the war than II
was Immediately before its out
break. The Wilson ad mlnlstra
ton Itself recognized that fact
when on going cut OF power its
high executive officers recon
ncndcd appropriations for the
fiscal period two years following
four our hse billion dollars high
or than the Harding I'D iuistra
ton will spend, Our Democrat
ic friends cautiously refrain
froln picturing to the voters Abe
cost OF government by their
party when they received the
4oyornmcnt from Ahe hands Of
the Republican party IN l"l"
with the cost when they handed
the rc.us back TO that party IN
1921. They were spending s'N
dollars where ,hc Republicans
&aad spent only one, aud handed
ovsr To the Harding adminis,ra
ton fixed conditions that have
added heavily To administrative
costs. Our Democratic friends
are simply trying to hide their
unparalleled record for eKUava
xanee and waste with falsely
drawn contrasts.

that there was little light. Spadefoot
was sitting on a flat stone close to
