Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1932-03-17
Morgan County Thursday March H. 1882

publican administration might be
the greatest deliberate body in the
world, but group of bricklayers
will run it close second.
Our local flaming evangelist OF
Republicanism, the affable editor
tells his readers that "the Demo
cratic women are at their wits end
to procure talent capable of ex-
pounding the doctrines Of Democ-
racy." "An adroit apologist is re
CURED" he says. We don't agree
with the Republican Gabriel" :"
when we think of the Accomplish
ments Of the Republican Admins
tration" which are as follows:
Hoover elected president on
prosperity Promises Says, Pros
perity is just around the corner
but the "corner" must have been in
Egypt or sump'in. Business is
fundamentally sound" Then came
the greatest crash CT the stock mar
ket that the world ever witnessed.
Fifteen million men out of work
and men, women and children
starving. Raids on stores to ges
food to keep from starving. 1t
took three years for the Republi
cans to settle just where Dolly
Gam. sister Of Vice President Cur
It's was to sit at Republican dinners,
etc Finally Dolly and Alice Long
worth decided to take turns. Vice
President Curtis sends letter Of con-
gratulations to q university club re-
plying to invitation to attend cele-
bration in honor Of Hugo n. Fry, ;"
founder Of the Republican party
praising the "great and illustrious
father Of our glorious party" He
found out later he was the victim
of a huge joke. That Hugo n.
Fry" was a by-word with the col
lege boys, namely "You go and fry
yourself Hoover finally succeeds
in appointing a man who was salts
factory to the senate, to position or
supreme court. Hoover sends eight
billion dollars to England to save
the English banks, while thousands
of U. s. banks closed their doors
Then sends Mellon as ambassador
to bring England out of her finan-
ciaL trouble, and watch the interests
of the millionaires, to make their
millions safe Hoover enacted the
moratorium for our foreign debtors
postponed payments Of their debts
while eight farms are being sold
every day in the United States, be-
cause the farmers are unable to pay
their taxes Mercy for foreigners,
but none for our own Americans
Hoover dedicated Harding memorial
after eight years of earnest en-
deayor to find some one for the job
cold Cal" was too slick, to g.
there and damn with faint praise
a Republican administration most
of whose ''big shots he had to
force out of office. and many o.
whom took extended vacations" in
our federal prisons. And our
erudite writer informs us that the
Democratic women must find an
adroit apologist for the doctrines
of democracy.
He also speaks of ''the we'll man
aged" Republican women's club.
Well, one night the story went the
rounds that the mythical Andy
Gump had really come to life, but
we found out that it. was not so,
but that Republican candidate for
office was in town. The Republican
women who are so well organized
went into a huddle about the menu
for dinner for the distinguished
guest. From the noise emanating
out the windows of the Kennebec
hotel, Tughie Donahue suggested
that the best thing to do would be
to get the boxing gloves. The menu
was changed 16 times. We don't
know whether the Republicans in
tend to bring the monkey show here
again this year for their attraction
or not. We don't think they need
go to the extra expense, as We think
the people can get enough amuse-
ment by looking at the Republican
candidates all sitting in row in the
Woodman hall.-Yours sincerely,
John T. Manon.
