LOUISVILLE, KY, November A.
The tumult and the shouting are over.
Gov. Cox for the democrats and Vice
President Coolidge for the republi-
cans and a host of lessers lights have
appeared and spoken in Kentucky.
Now, save for a final effort here and

Eight democratic and one repub-

bents from the first, second. third,

DEBT REDUCTION
DEMOCRAT CLAIM
National Committee Asserts
Wilson Administration lop-
ped Off 81. .543, 600, 900.

Credit for reducing the national dcnt
So,543,O00.000 during the last two
years of the Wilson administTa IS
claimed by the democratic national
committee. in statement issued by
il last night. Figures prepared by
Secretary Mellon of the Treasury De-
partment establish this fact. the
tation of the claims of republican
speakers that the Harding adminis-
tration has been responsible for the
national debt reduction.
Text of Committee Statement.
The statement issued by the demo-
cratic national committee follows:
I'm a formal statement issued on
the eve of the elections. Secretary of
the Treasury Mellon has given the
official fac;s regarding the reduction
of the national debt during the last
three years, and has shown that by
far the larger share of the decrease
was accomplished under the Wilson
administration.
secretary Melons statement must
be received as the full and final
answer to the claims of many repub-
lican candidates and speakers who
have been telling the voters that the
Harding administration deserves sole
credit for having reduced the public
debt which had to be incurred in the
successful prosecution of this coun-
try's part in the world war.
Public Debt Maximum.
1.-THE public debt reached its maxi
mum on August 81. 1919. following
the completion of loans and outlaya
necessitated by the war. On that date
the gross public debt was $26,5s< ,0O0.-
900 IN round numbers. On September
80. 1892. its total. as given in Secre-
tary Melons statement. was $22,S12.-
100000. The reduction effected be-
tween those dates was. therefore,
So ~. .h00.0 600.
How much of this reduction was
tion? The official reports of the
Treasury Department give the an
swer on February %, 1921, the gross
public debt was $24,o51 ,0o0. 900, which
was s.,b43, 100000 less than the peak"
figure of August 81. 1919.
THE fact is, then. that the demo-
cratic administration diminished the
debt by $2,543.000.000 in eighteen
months, while the reduction during
the eighteen months OF the Harding
100000. In other words. the decrease
of the debt under democratic rule
was more than TWICE AZ much as that
made by the present republican ad-
ninistration in like period.
I'm a speech at Newark. N. j.. on
October 90. 1922, Vice President
Coolidge is quoted as having said
that he found cause for satisfaction
in "a reduction Of the national
debt of $500. 900. .ooo.'. The report of
his speech carried by the Associated
Press did not indicate that the Vice
President explained to his hearers
that any part of this reduction was
effected by the Wilson administration.
