Republicans Fail To
Balance Their Budget

During the recent campaign, the
principal slogan Of the Republicans
was balance the Budget" It all
made very good campaign thunder
But already they have failed to
make good their slogan, since the
expense account filed by the Repub-
lican committee OF Morgan county
shows that the Republicans had
contributions Of $690.33, and spent
$864.36. It doesn't take any ex-
pert bookkeeper to see that their
budget is decidedly out Of balance
even though the Republicans would
make believe that they are the
great budSet balaneers.
And another thing! A free oys-
ter supper was advertised far and
wide to be held by the young Repub
licans club, at the armory last Sat
urday night. The crowd was there,
but where were the oysters? We
suppose the reason they decided not
to serve the oyster soup, was be.
cause it would bring back awful
memories Of the soup houses, during
the Hoover administration, SO in
stead of soup, they had beef sand
wiches. After all the sBeefing'
the Republicans have been doing
about Bob Secrest and the Demo-
Gratis in general, sbeef' was really
more in keeping with the occasion.
Those present at the armory Sat-
urday night, who were disappointed
in not getting oysters, after the Her.
aid had so prominently announced
that they would be served, and also
the oft reported statement that the
Republicans would balance the
budget, are now agreeing with the
Democrats, that not very much de-
pendence can be put in what the
Republicans say and promise.

dents words for he recorded that
Fascinated by his earnestness and
depth of feeling. I unconsciously
stopped taking notes"
The speech was short, so short
that the only photographer on the
field had not time to focus his cam
era before the President sat down.
1t seemed particularly brief in COM
parison with the one hour and so
minutes of smooth and eloquent
oratory poured out by Edward
Everett, the orator of the day.
Press Not Enthused.
If the reception by the crowd at
Gettysburg was mixed, the recep-
ton by the Nations press was even
more so.
Some editors classified the address
as nothing more than bid for re-
election. Others did not comment
at all, giving their space to such
events as the convening of the
French Assembly and the speech Of
Emperor Napoleon III. Even from
across the seas the London Times
commented that anything more dull
and commonplace would not be easy
to produce"
Yet there were CLEANS of percep-
ton amid the clouds of criticism.
The Philadelphia Evening Bulle-
tin described it as warm. earnest,
unaffected and touching" The Prov
ldence (R. ~ Journal said the ad-
dress had "the charm and power of
the very highest eloquence."
A prophetic reporter on the Chi
cago Tribune wrote that 1T will live
among the annals to come"
Perhaps it was Mr.. Everett who
most accurately summarized the
merits of the two speeches when he
wrote to Lincoln next day:
Il would be glad if I could fiatter
myself that I came as near to the
central idea of the occasion in two
hours as you did in two minutes"

leave the anti-New Deal Democrats
and Republicans in Congress bris-
ting.
The President has so far given
no particular sign of wishing to
conciliate the opposition in Con-
gress, whether Republican and DEM
ocratic. II self-styled spokesmen
for the administration are to be
believed, the President intends to
fight the battle out with Congress
on the same lines which he has
been doing for the last five or six
years.
Anti-Monopoly Problem.
Among matters which the Presi-
dent is expected to take up with the
Congress during the coming session
is the so-called anti-monopoly prob
lem, which has been the subject of
an intensive study by the O'Ma-
honey committee, composed Of an
equal number of members of the
Senate and House and of represen-
tatives of the executive depart
ments. 1t is expected that the
committee. headed by the Senator
from Wyoming, will be ready to
make at least preliminary report
soon after Congress meets. 1t is
another thing to draft legislation
and still another to get it enacted
into law.
This joint committee was set up
during the last session after the
President had sent a message to
Congress urging that something be
done about monopoly in all its
phases 1t has still to hold open
hearings. following a long process
of gathering data through the vari-
Gus agencies of the Government.
How radical will be the findings Of
the committee remains to be seen.
Senator O'Mahoney has endeavored
at all times to convince industry in
this country that 1t has nothing to
fear from the operations of the
committee. He has sought the CO.
operation. indeed. of business in
furthering the investigation.
Depending on the attitude of the
Roosevelt administration and prob
ably on the attitude of the Presi-
dent himself. the recommendation
for legislation relating to monop-
oily, trusts. patents. etc, will be radi-
cal or more mildly progressive. There
has been no indication yet which
way the cat will jump.

Ragsdale said he dismissed the

NEW YORK. Nov. 19-Three-
score and Is years ago today. a
speaker invited as an afterthought-
and without expectation that he
would accept-gave the world two
minute speech that has become
! deathless.
The speaker was Abraham Lin
coin, the speech was the famous
Gettysburg address,
The commission that planned the
dedicat ton of the National Cemetery
at Gettysburg on November l9, 1868,
had no idea that Mr.. Lincoln would
attend. He did not even receive a
formal invitation. merely printed
circular such as was sent to Con-
gressmen.
When Mr.. Lincoln promptly ac-
cepted, the commission was vaguely
disturbed. If the President attended,
the President should be asked to
speak, and the commission was not
at all sure how he would behave.
Not only were there legends of
his backwoods uncouthness, but a
baseless story was going the rounds
that he had cracked jokes in the
sacred surroundings of Antietam.
So there may have been some rea-
son why as Col. Clark E. Carr, Illi-
nois member of the commission, put
it. the question was raised as to his
ability to speak upon such grave
! and solemn occasion :"
Legend Has Been Exploded.
The President finished the greater
part of the first draft of his address
before leaving Washington at noon
November 18. Perhaps he made a
few notes or the train, nothing
more. At any rate, the legend that
he jotted the famous words on the
back of an envelope while sitting in
rafting railroad coach has been
pretty thoroughly exploded.
The address was finished in his
Gettysburg quarters in the David
Willis House on the Diamond, q
house that still looks over the hub
of life in the Pennsylvania college
town. He wrote it the night before
the dedication, revised it next morn
ing into the form in which it was
delivered on the field where $4,000
men had been killed or wounded
only four months before.
1t Is strange that so noted an
event should be clouded with con-
troversy, yet it is fact that au-
thorities disagree on even SO COM
monplace topic as the weather on
the dedication day. The prepon-
derance of evidence is that the
weather was fair, yet, on the fiftieth
anniversary of the speech, four vet
Grams attended a Gettysburg service
and told their stories of the dedica-
tion-and each story was different!
Disagree on Reception.
There is disagreement also about
the reception of the speech. Some
recalled tumultuous applause, others
were equally firm in asserting that
Lincolns words were greeted in
dead silence. Joseph L. Gilbert OF
Philadelphia, the Associated Press
reporter of the day, said the crowd
was mot a demonstrative nor even
an appreciative audience there
were no outward manifestations OF
feeling"
Yet Mr.. Gilbert himself appar-
emily felt the power OF the Prest,;
