= HANS RASMUSSEN

ling as can remember 1t
IS VT the same story every two
's been Republicans sl5u and democrats
F''I p come out and rake one an
%bsr RI J free trade, it was gold and
y aIa silver. But it always wound
va itb - a lot of promises Of what
g. WV, we're going to do for the
Ss " Promises Of taking away
the rich and giving to the
ton And how far have we got
o't !, al these years? Today the
= u ore 70 richer than they ever
ID b before and 95 per cent of
.'f' Deople are poorer than they
Se we're before. The people have
0 s.d themselves into the misery
:, ,,'I are in and stand ready to vote t,
s.mselyes into still more OF it,
ps. nt IN little spots here and
Ssre. LII ,,o,,o l,oo,,

s ", And that was supposed
bring about prosperity. Some
S,.r ordinary people cannot un-
p ,.-,fsrd. Something the people
~ Aid it didn't understand them
, liz Silver is the next that's
..ire to save US, and it probably
s,rI if we had plenty of it in

!, tbe five per cent to hand out
:. tnow just about what we are
,inr to get. But they tell us
s.t from now on it is going to
= different, and they have told
,,.tbp same thing for more thar
Thew Both Tell the Truth
Now comes Wheeler ard tells u;
that 2 bunch of highbinders the
smBIicans are and what a flor
Sev have made of running the
muntry. Along comes Judge Bour.
amin and tells us the same thing
,bout the democrats. And they
are both telling the truth. AnC
lot of people are still willing tt
vote for more of the same kind.
# you did not attend the Judge
BOurquin meeting, held here last
Friday evening, you really missed
gnething worthwhile listening to
Re gave the NOV brilliant tall
have had a chance to listen tt
for years. Not once did he have
to hunt for words or fail t.
dtOOse the proper ones.
In the cleveTest way. with fact.
Gd figures did he expose oul
present administration and Senate,
. Wheeler as we'll. If every vote
IN the county had listened to tht
1 ldge's speech, the Communist
couldn't help going over the toI
With an overwhelming majority
Not that he talked Communism
Oh, no! not by a long shot. HI
taxed republicanism. But by tn.
tine he got through with the dem
VTatic administration there wa
nothing left of it but a big flol
and lot of promises leading no
where.
That the democrats themselves
look upon it as a failure and d,
not know what to do next is ad
mtted by such a leading demo
Sstic daily as the Helena indie
PENDENT when it says in an edi
Rnal printed Oct. 25: eve do no
NOW if the present system ha;
nOken down. The main thin,
% keep before us is that our pres
elt system does NOT work 70
lie common good; that waiting TO
TO work is suicidal; that human
ingenuity CAN invent a bette
system. g. Every day we put of
n'eOtlng and operating a new an,
"tter system the more misery in
aeaSeS; the harder the change viii
Some people still think Roose
eIt is going to pull us out of tn
uie VIC are in. Roosevelt is no
gong to do any such thing un
RS wall Street can. make a pro
u' out Of it. He is there to pre-
s sI the profit system, and if h
Uont DO it he wouldn't last long
aey would have him murdered i
ley could not get rid of him il
my other way. At the presen
VINE they are letting him max
'G some big checks, but there i
SuAg to be an end to thar, toc
Nhat to do next they don't know
