A continuance Of the Republican In
dustrial panic OF 1921-22.
These are hut some of the things
against which Democratic voters will
cast their ballots.
Republican leaders and spokesmen
have tried to dodge these and other
issues Of the campaign, and where it
was NOT possible to dodge. to misrep-
resent them, but the voters themselves
have selected the issues this year and
will vote accordingly.
Those who vote the Democratic
ticket will be voting for something
as well as against something They
will be voting to restore the legislative
branch Of the government to the Demo
cratic party, which opposes tariff rob-
berry and all FORMS Of profiteering !;
which favors low and equitable taxa
ton; which favOrs rigid economy in

It is not ~ essential as party propa-
ganda as it would be elsewhere, and it
| would have been more timely run some
weeks ago. However, it is given space
| to-day for other resisons. 1t happens
that since 1t was put in type elections
have been held (Tuesday) in many
states Of the Union. The Democratic
victories that have followed clearly in-
dicate the truth Of many Of the asser.
/ tiqns above made. For instance, many
Democratic governors were elected In
cluding the states Of New York, New
/ Jersey and Ohio-and In the pivotal
state Of New York the majorities OF
Democratic candidates have been even
larger than anticipated by the party's
leaders. The Republicans, according
to the dispatches in the dailes, have
lost every seat in Congress held by
Southerners and will perhaps control
the Senate by the narrow margin Of
eight votes and see their majority oi

When Congressman sandlin was a
caller ut the Banner Office yesterday he
said Congress may soon be called to sit
In extra session, as the President was
particularly anxious to see the shiI
subsidy bill "a giant Republican steal)
passed at once. Thus Is the trickery Of
the party In power again emphasized
aud thus, as clearly as In Tuesday,
election returns, is the failure Of the
present administration indicated
Again Is the rich mans party refuted
at the hands Of the peOple-and again
should 1t follow that a Democratic
president is soon to be chosen by the
| masses.
