roads were going from bad to worse.
Rates were SO high as to be almost
prohibitive, service was getting worse
and worse, railroad property was de-
teriorating and breakdown was
threatened in our whole transporta-
ton system.
Autocratic war powers were contin-
ued and used, although the war was
long over
We had loaned European nations 10
billions of dollars, another billion was
due us for interest. We had nothing
to show for this debt. 1t was pro-
posed to cancel these loans, and to
tax the American people further to
way off the bonds.
The bureaus organized to care for
the disabled ex-soldiers were quarrel
ing among themselves and failing to
function, while the ex-soldiers were
neglected in a way that caused a ma
tional scandal.
Thousands of unnecessary employees
were continued on the government
payroll, expenses were increasing, our
national debt was becoming larger
and the administration was demand
ing more taxes.
Never before did America face such
depression, such dark days, so many
unusual and confusing problems, both
at home and abroad.
The task which the American peo-
pie gave to the Republican party was
to bring about peace, to discontinue
the autocratic wartime bureaus, to
reduce expenses and taxes, to save
the business man, the laborers and
the farmers of the nation from ruin,
to look after the ex-soldiers, to re-
store friendly relations abroad and to
restore production to a normal basis.
No reasonable person could expect
all these difficult situations to be cor
rected in day or year. The COM
plant today of the Democratic party
Is that the Republicans have not been
able to clean up Immediately the
chaos and the debt which they created
IN eight years. When someone COM
plains that all has not been quickly
corrected, and asks you to vote the
Democratic national ticket, ask your
self if you wish to return to that
nightmare Of autocracy, profiteering,
iebt increasing and high taxes.
Democratic Extravaganza. ;
The excuse for it all may be offered :
hat it was the war. To be sure the S
World war was costly, but the war T
vas not responsible for half the ex- @
lenses and taxes. The Democratic n
arty came into power in 1913, four n
ears before the war started, and at f
nee began to increase expenses and
axes. Each succeeding year expenses l,

efore the war, more money was ap- II
ropriated for government expenses "

Reduction-of -Armaments Conference.
Immediately upon his inauguration
President Harding surrounded him

figures, each a specialist in his par

than Secretary of State Charles E.

Under President Wilson America
had gone to Europe to participate in
European diplomacy in the interest
of world peace, and failed. President
Harding called the European nations

1t was known that certain unjust
settlements after the war were GER

and Japan were about to renew their

programs that would require tremen-
dous taxes. There was demand for

North Carolina, the Democratic lead
er in the house of representatives,
introduced a bill calling for 100000
coo more taxes in a time of peace.
Nor were the "a billions that were
spent under guise of winning the war,
all necessary expenditures. The rec
ord shows that at least one-half the
amount was actually wasted.
The ordnance department spent
four billion dollars and secured "
cannons and 10000 shells.
The war department spent 116 mil
lion dollars in nitrate plants in the
south that produced no nitrate, 116
million dollars on gas and produced
no gas, 200 million dollars for powder
plants that produced no powder, 127
million dollars for port terminals in
the south that were never used, over
a billion dollars for camps where
waste used up half of the expendi-
lures.

To fully appreciate the magnitude
and Importance of the work that has
been done by the Republican congress
one must recall the actual condition
of affairs in this country when the
people of America soberly and deci-
sively cast their votes against Wilson
ism four years ago. A Republican
congress was first elected and two
years later President Harding was
elected by majority of 100000.
To clearly understand, let us review
briefly the chaos, the debt, the break
down, the grave menaces in every d1-
rection, both in our foreign relations
and in our internal affairs.
The war was over, and for two
years the Wilson administration was
unable to find any way to restore
peace between America and the ma
lions with which we had been at war.
Our trade relations continued broken,
to the detriment of all the American
people. America was distrusted, our
good intentions were misunderstood,
and in the aftermath CT the world
strugglue many menaces threatened
from within and without.
Our national debt had increased to
"a billions of dollars. The interest
alone mounted up to figure equal
ing the total amount formerly re-
quired to meet all expenses of the
government.
Our annual expenses had increased
by leaps and bounds and were far in
excess of our annual income, despite
the enormous war taxes that had been
imposed to raise revenue.
The taxes collected had stifled all
lines of business, by driving capital
into hiding or into tax-exempt secur-
tiles, until there was a complete
in the business world.
Sources of tax income were dried up,
national failure.
With the shut down of manufac-
turing and business came unemploy-
ment and five million men walked the
streets of our cities looking for work,
while their families suffered for the
ordinary necessities of life.
Profiteering was everywhere in ev-
Idence. Although the war was over,
the cost of living mounted higher and
higher. In an unsound effort to re-
luce prices, Democratic officials de-
,ided to smash the prices of livestock
and farm products. To that end farm
credits were withdrawn and farmers
ind stockmen were compelled to liq-
lidate, and the natural results fol- I
owed. The sudden deflation Of farm '
md livestock products brought thou '

lear ruin that it will take them years @

NeuD StabiIizer VIII
Prevent Seasickness
Late Device Eliminates Rolling
Ships; Test At Philadel-
phia Today.
L'uolvdsId sss1d ps3eroossy ]

+ Philadelphia. April ia large
gyro- stabilizer, designed to elimin-
ate seasickness by preventing the
rolling of ships. is to be tested late
today at the plant of the Westing-
house Electric and Manufacturing
company. The stabilizer weighs 120
tons. 1t will be installed in the
shipping board steamer Hawkeye
State. The stabilizer operates on
the principle of the common toy
gyroscope. The theory of its oper
alton is that when the ship rolls,
the gyro- stabilizer exerts force in
the opposite direction, equalizing
the motion. irhe wheel of the sta
bilizer has a revolution of 500 turns
a minute, and the force is such
that it is said to spin for Is hours
after the power is shut off.
1t is said the stabilizer also can
be used to roll a ship, thus being
effective in moving stranded ves-
sells from shoals. The action is
controlled by small horoscopes
along sides of the vessel These
register the direction of the roll
automatically start the large stabi-
lizer wheel revolving in the direc
ton necessary to counteract the
