guished secretary of state, Mr..
Hughes, in a recent speech, now griev-
ously complains against the blatant
and injudicious utterances" on the part

are both interesting and amusing in
the light Of the great anvil chorus OF
abuse, denunclation, SANDER and libel
that Republican leaders constantly
centered against the recent Democrat
ic administration during 1919 and 1920.
Why did not Messrs. Hughes, Hard
ing and others join in dcnouncing such
infamous conduct at that time?
The American people are now real
izing and appreciating, as never be-
fore. the broad, constructive and
Democratic administration. They now
realize that the fundamentals of both
the administration and foreign policies
of the recent Democratic administra-
ton were ternally sound and are being
indicated every month. They are now
realizing that the utter aimlessness,
inaction, incompetency and helpless

since March Attn, 1921, offers the chief
responsibility fer 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 be conducted on low standard
of public morals and political honesty
such as is set by the NeWberrys the
Daughertys and Nat Goldsteins. ard

associates of those in charge Of the
government.

longs suffering and harassed people vote
for the election Of another Republican
Congress?
