FRIDAY. AUGUST 20. 1880.
DEMOCRATES CAPITALIZE
MISERY


spirit which presages spirited
campaign this fall in the Congress
sional elections.
Robert H. Lucas, of Kentucky,
the new executives director of the
committee, took a new tack
politically when he boldly accus-
ed the Democrates of seeking to
take advantage of the business
depression and unemployment
to induce the people to give them
control of Congress.
They frequently hope that
through this national misfortune
their party may be returned to
power, he said. In campaign
of misrepresentation and confus-
ing propaganda, they expect to
gain political victory through
the misery and misfortune of
their fellow man"
This direct shot was followed
by others from Representative
Will R. Wood of Indiana, chairman
of Republican Congressional Com
mittee; Representative John Q.
Tilson, of Connecticut, the Re
publican leader in the House,
and Senator Felix Herbert, of
Rhode Island, a member of the
Republican Campaign Committee.
Congressman Wood asserted
that Jouett Shouse, Democratic
National Executive Chairman. has
become postmaster at the art
of both criticism and misrepre-
sentation" in his statements to
the press and his public speeches
and added;
The plain truth is that MIR.
Shouse and his cohorts have one
purpose only; to assail, to sland-
and to malign the President of
the United States and to attempt
to block his very effort to carry
forward the great tasks to which
he has set his hand"
Congressman Tilson was even
more caustic in replying to a radio
address by MIR. Shouse opening
the Democratic congressional
campaign. Asserting that Mr..
Shouse had presented IAN amaz.
ing collection of half truths,
misstatements, abuse and critic
ism" to the country, Mr. Tilson
said that save for this abuse and
criticism the Democratic leader
stood before the microphone
empty handed. IF the Dem
ocrats have constructiva pro-
gram in this Congressional cam
paign, Why did not Mr.. Saouse
present it," he asked. "If they
have specific remedies, why did
not Mr.. Shouse let the nation in
on the secret?
Perhaps MIR. Shouse thought
he presented program in his
peroration when he said: And
to their (the people's) cries of
desperation, h Democratic
Party will endeavor to respond;
to their pleas it will turn a SYM
pathetic and an understanding
ear"
'Endeavor to respond, but
how" demanded Mr.. Tilson.
"Will sympathetic and under
standing ear cure t h ills Of
which Mr.. Shouse complains?
If so, how?
These are pertinent questions
to which the voters certainly
have the right to an answer in
this campaign"
Senator Herbert charged that
Senator'S William H. King, O
Utah, and Tom Connolly, of Texas
had come to the assistanceo

paign of Misrepresentation b.
