Howell party.
II note now that my distinguished
opponent has agreed with the people
Of the country that the s1l 900 900 900
debt owed by Europe Is n nightly
l lively issue" Mr.. Howell said Dis.
coyery was made since the people be.
gan 10 learn that Secretary McAdoo
failed 10 obtain any securities for the
loan and a representative OF J. i,
Morgan 4 co, urged bankers at a
New York meeting Tuesday to cancel
iho debt.
Question for Senator.
II also notice that he says he

the foreign relation committee, and

Neg for this loan?"
On all sides one hears that the dem.
ocrats are on the defensive on both
rational and state affairs.
Mr.. Howellis opponent In founder.
ing In an attempt to explain the dem.
known as the deflation order sent
out by the democratic reserve board
that year, which bankrupted tens of
thousands OF farmers. Mr.. HowelPs
opponent 10 far hasn't even said
ugh" about the Esch.Cumrns non
competitive rate bill for which he
voted.
Prohibition Flop.
Mr. Howelrs opponents pre-elec-
ton flop 10 the opposite side OF the
prohibition question five weeks In ad-
vance Of an election in a dry state,
so far as inquiries have gone, hasn't
pulled the wool over the eyes OF
single hater OF the liquor traffic and
apparently has fooled no one except
the senator himself.
Struggling first against a campaign
Of mlsstatements and buncombe, MIR,
Randall has turned the very factors
figured on to defeat him to his ad-
vantage. AS the state campaign
stands at present, the democrats
must, either openly or by refusal to
deny, admit that Mr.. Randall's oppo-
nent and the state central committee
have Jumped state, local, school and
county taxes and charged that the
state was responsible for all, except
ing only IS per cent Of the total.
Mr.. Randall's opponent must show
10 suspicious public, disguised with
prediction promises. where he viii
make the 90 per cent cut in state
taxes pledged by the rain maker
in public speeches.
Mr.. Randalls opponent must out
Ia
he proposes to initiate to take the
place Of the present managerial sys'
fem, which has abolished dozens OF
boards and commissions and placed
six responsible heads in charge.
Enthusiasm Growing.
Mr.. Randalls opponent must ad'
mt that state taxes increased only
IN proportion to the cost OF living
while local school taxes on his own |
farm are more than 10 times what !
They were in 1915,
Mr.. Randalis opponent must ADMIT /
that as soon az prices began To ue'
crense, the state administration, by |
calling special session, cut the ls22 |
levy 40 Ia percent, due to the budget I
initiated under the managerial system /
which forceH state departments TO liVe 4
