FA|LURES?''
VITAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
MAN HULL OF THE NATIONAL
DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE.

why cuOulu inc american people
elect another Republican Congress
next November Why, in other words,
should any employer continue in his
service an employe who has proven
utterly incompetent, INSCRIPTIONS, un.
reliable and unsuited to render efIi,
cient service?"
This vital question asked by Hon.
Cordell Hull. Chairman OF the Demo.
cratic National Committee, In recent
speech in tho State OF Maino, IL ono
that each voter must answer, and II
he votes intelligontly the answer must
DO that there Is no reason for tho re.
election OF the present Republican
Congress. All Intelligent voters know
that this Republican Congress and tho
one preceding II have been failures.
and Republican voters havo learned
that fact from tho editorial columns
OF Republican newspapers, which are
agreed that this IL rthe worst Con:
gross In twenty years" They have
also learned 1t from Republican
spokesman like Secretary Woeks, who
said that "this Congress has reached
the lowest ebb in tho history of tho
country"
The Republican plan of campaign
for 1922, rs conducted by tho reac-
tionaries In control OF the party. IL
repetition OF tho campaign of 1890.
when through misrepresentation and
unlimited promises tho leaders OF tho
party deliberately set out to fool tho
people.
This query by Chairman Hull there
fore puts tho duty OF voters squnrely
, and plainly before them: "Why should
the American farmer, laborer and
honest business man, with tho awful
experiences of the Republican indus
trial panic of 1921 und 1929. allow tho
same crowd of Republican politicians,
who fooled them during tho campaign
of 1920 by innumcrablo promises OF
good business conditions, to fool them
n second timo in 1922 by now prom
ises made in the same bad faith? Why
should this class Of voters now DO in
humor oven to listen To long lists
Of false excuses, absurd explanations,
and attempted alibies. such rs these
snme Republican politicians arc plan.
ming to Offer during this year as tho
only means of securing votes at tho
ballot box?"
1t Will greatly aid voters to answer
this question as II shonld be answered
by contrasting their prosperous condi.
ton under Democratic administra-
| ton with the distrossful conditions
that prevail under this Republican ad-
ministration. Internationally this Is
what they arc doing. Chairman Hull
pays this Just compliment to tho intel,
| ligcnce of voters IN both parties:
"The American people nre now
realizing and approaching. ia never
before, the brond, constructive and
wholesome achievements OF tho ro-
cent Democratic administration. They
now renli2e that the fundamentals of
both the administration and foreign
policies OF the recent Democratic nd
ministratlon wero eternally sound and
are being indicated every month.
They are now realizing that the utter
aimlossness, inaction, incompetency.
and helplessness OF tho government at
! Washington since March 4, 1921, offers
the chief responsibility for the sad
business and economic plight the
American people have experienced
during 1921 and 1922. They are now
| realizing that the great affairs of our
| National government cannot DO con-
| Quoted on n low standard OF public
morals and political honesty such as
il set by the Newberrys, tho Daugh-
ortys. the Nat Goldstclns. and other
personal or official and political asso-
ciates of those in charge Of tho gov
ornment."
Practically the entire Republican
! membership of this Congress arc can
didates for reelection. Their own
party press and party spokesman ad-
nit they have boon failures. Why
re-elect failures and mako matters
worse than they are?
