Resolution. ag.
We, the Democrats OF Stevens
County, proud of the noble accomp-
lishments Of the greatest living Amer
lean, Woodrow Wilson, during his
eight years as President OF the Unit
ed States, from which Office he re-
I tired two years ago, broken in health
and spirit, by the villainous attacks
and malignant policy of few con-
temptible members Of the United
Estates Senate, representing Wall
street and the special interest of the
Country, unanimously adopt the SEN
timents Of the minority Of the Ways
and Means Committee of the House
bin it's recent characterization of the
Republican Party. - a-- @.-.si
$50 we are presented with the
shameful spectacle of the party that
aborted the war, divided our coun-
try's war associates, disgraced the
peace, deluded the people, deceived
the veterans, deserted the wounded,
relieved the profiteer, reduced the
millionaire's income tax, repealed the
Eexcess profits tax on the profteers
and which still maintains q bias
Ephemous, bibulous boot-licker at the
court of St. James to besmircfl with
his drunken banquet babble, the high
war purposes of the American people
and the inspiration of the American
people and the inspiration of the
American soldiers, now offering to re-
deem it's reckless campaign pledges
with an I. o. u, designated a seer

} has, in advance of its issue fatty i'm
peached and discredited. -,s..
With the veteran and his needs
the Republicans have revealed their
: Incompetence, "They start and stop"
'They are for this to-day, and for
that tomorrow. They potter around
in darkness, they tumble, they mum.
Incapable of dealing fairly with
the economic situation, they have di-
rectly brought upon the American
people the worst depression that can
: ever come upon them. Equally in
: capable of dealing with the war vet
: eran situation they stutter and stag
ger. Blind they wonder around.
They pick. it up and put it down.
Their last condition is worse than the
first -... ....
We demand from our next Legis-
lature the enactment of laws light
ening the burdens of taxation on
: farm lands which are now confsca-
; tory and driving the farmers to ruin
and despair.
We greatly deplore the inaction Of
the Republican Congress which has
accomplished nothing for the agri-
cultural interests of the country to-
ward relieving them from the disas-
trous conditions following in the
. wake of the great world war, and
while every other interest has re-
ceived the tender attention of the
Government in an effort to stabilize
and prepare it to meet the fury Of
the storm, the farmer has been neg
lected and permitted to be crushed
beneath the heavy weight of econom-
ic reconstruction under which he now
groans, most deplorable policy.
"For that bold peasantry, our
country's pride, When once destroyed
can never be supplied"
And whereas the reports from over
the State conclusively show that
nothing has been accomplished by the
re-primary election just held at an
;, expense of several hundred thousand
dollars to the tax payers of the State,
except to perpetuate the control OF
the Republican Party by the present
machine.
Be it resolved that Chapter S22,
Laws Of 1921, be condemned as caus-
ing needless expense and its repeal
: by the next legislature demanded.
