PLAIN TALK FOR PLAIN PEOPLE

In his speeches throughout the state, Governor Dixon does
not throw mud at the big interests whose compaign of vituper-
alton against him is carried on through every newspaper whose
editorial policy can be influenced as well as bv a horde of stump
speakers many of whom no doubt hopeto get up to the pie counter
in the event of Mr.. Dixon's defeat.
Numerous charges, some of the most ridiculous nature, have
been and are being brought daily against the governor.
And for what purpose?
DlXOns traducers hope that he will dignity their allegations
by taking the trouble to disprOve them and by throwing them out
IN a Verltable box barrage keep him so busy defending himself
That ne Will have no time to bring home to the voters of the state
the real issues which confront them in this campaign.
The Hood of invectve launched against the governor has no
other purpose. It's sponsors know that they haven't a leg to stand
on ana that IN a discussion of bona fide issues in which the truth
and the whole truth is told, they cannot prevail against the
governor.

Decloud the issue as to secure his defeat and regain control Of
the state for their own selfish purposes.

READ THE RECORD

American voters will take the advice of Democratic snou
binders to read the record" of the present Republican admins
tratlon. And they will not stop there. They will also recall tho
elght years OF Democratic misrule which Immediately preceded it.
In the Republican record they will find:
Peace made with Germany.
A national budget law enacted and placed in operation
Half a million idle men given employment.
Liberty bonds brought to and even above par.
Disabled veterans of the world war given ADEQUATE Care
Enormous reductions of the cost of government
American industry rehabltated.
American leadership in world affairs emphasized.
The Democrats under Mr.. Wilson refused to make peace will,
Germany except upon terms laid down by their autocra+ic loader
terms which the American people repudiated bv an overvboIm,
ing majority at the polls in 1920.
They failed and refused to make any effort to reduce taxes.
cut down the enormous number Of federal employees or to take
steps to meet the vital problems Of postwar reconstruction
They literally wasted billions on war contracts and in frandn-
lent and improper settlements of claims arising from these con-
tracts.
But when Democratic stump speakers weep over the nliobt
OIL the veteran, the record stands out in red letters for all to read
They say the Republicans opposed the bonus" while the
Democrats favored it. Then why didn't they enact an adjusted
compensation bill while they had control of the government? They
could have put it over and fOated a bond issue to pay it in cash
had they really desired to do so.
And the care of the disabled. They have a lot of nerve to
bring that up. Under their triple system of agencies DEALING
with the war victims and largely manned by deserving Democrats
who wanted to be kept out of war, the veterans got nothing and
as the lrishman would say, little of that. The agencies supposed
TO care for the veteran were hostile to him. If he were totally
disabled and were lucky enough to have his claim approved he
would receive $50 per month from the beneficent government
under Democratic rule which he had shed his blood to protect
One of the first actions of the Harding administration was
to create the Veterans bureau and to set aside half a billion
dollars for its maintenance. Hospitals were built and thrown
open to veterans of all wars. Disability pay was increased from
$50 to 500 per month and the veterans are now receiving the
best care a grateful government can give them.
When the bureau did not function as planned under Col.

should be noted that the cost of main
tanning and operating TIE government
owned trucks has been reduced from
SIC to Csc per hour.
While this expansion of, and i'm
prOvement in, the postal service has
been met in the foregoing manner,
it is to be noted that the postal def
cit" has at the same time been re-
duced from So, 400. 900 to about S19.-
100000. This has been accomplished
almost wholly by the inauguration OF
better business methods, and the ap-
p~licatiOn Of a rigid system Of econ
omy. 1t has not been accomplished
by unreasonable exactions from those
who perform the work in the postal
service. In fact, the conditions of la

GROWTH DURING PAST THREE Years

EDITORS NOTE.-The following
information, compiled by Postmaster
General Harry S. New, and furnished
to The Courier by Postmaster W. J..
F~ransham, should prove very interest
ing to u readers. The postal service
comes in direct contact with more
American citizens than all other de-
partments of the government com
bined and for that reason the people
should be interested in its workings.
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1924-10-08

The expansion of the postal service
has been so rapid and at times uneven
that it has fcc snort intervals taxed
t. the extreme all tie efforts and en-
orgies Of the postal organization and
the existing appropriations. The ex-
ansion IS measured bX two distinct

postal receip,s there having been a
total increase in three years Of $685.

Forbes no time was lost to fix the blame and to right any wrongs
which existed. No effort was made to "whitewash" Forbes or to
cover up any deHnquencies and Forbes is now on trial in Chicago
for his alleged wrong doing.
Under the Veterans bureau, created by the Harding admin
istratiOn, tn edisabled veteran is receiving the relief promised by
the Democrats but calOusly refused him by them.
The Republicans welcome a perusal and a comparison of the
records of the last two administrations. They have nothing to
fear.
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1924-10-08

In addition to the two foregoing
clements in postal expansion, is tn
demand for better service, and to a
large degree this demand has also
been met.
To meet this postal expansion and
the service improvements, regular"
employees have been added to the
service to the number of 1894. These
are divided as follows: railway mail
clerks, 1859; labOrers in post offices,
! 1883; motor vehicle employees, 372;
carriers, 5,297: ard post office clerks.
9,479.
Within the cities there have been
established 191 classified" sub-sta-

has been established. and the new
