G. o. P. Deserves Credit

A review of the work of the last
Congress would not be complete
unless a word were said regarding
the important part played by the
Republicans of House and Senate.
They led the fight for all the re-
forms previously enumerated. They
have been fighting for those re-
forms for the last two and one-half
years.
Not only has Congress put it's
foot down on greater and greater
spending programs but it also has
injected a little sense into the ad-
ministration of the relief problem.
It has repealed the harmful un-
distributed profits tax on business.
It has halted the pyramiding of
payroll and pay envelope taxes for
old-age pensions. At last a step
has been taken to get little sense
into our labor relations through
appointment of a House committee
to investigate the present situation,
so Objectionable to everyone. -
Franklin Mailman, G. o. P. Pub
licity Director.

Republicans
THE REPUBLICAN SIDE
Becoming Powerful

The Federal Government is be-
coming powerful national govern
ment. It is expanding its author
ity and engaging in many forms
of private endeavor. It's intrusion
into many of these fields has been
most injurious to our economic, in
dustrial and political system. Capt.
talism and socialism may not go
hand in hand, and as the Federal
Government is moving into fields
which under our form of govern
ment belong exclusively to private
endeavor, our capitaistic system
is being weakened and measurably
undermined. There are evidences
of movements to undermine our
economy and to force upon the
people socialistic system.-Sen.
William H. King (D.), Utah, Cong.

John L. Lewis's reference to
United States Vice President John
Garner, as "a liquor drinking old
man" recalls that the worst liquor
head among the vice-presidents
was Andrew johnson.
There was no doubt about it,
Johnson was plainly drunk at his
inauguration.
Efforts have been made to ex-
plain his spree as sickness. But
truthful biographies admit that he
was out to a party the night be-
fore the inauguration, March 4,
1866, drank too much and couldn't
sober up before morning.
In No Condition
AS the inauguration noon hour
approached and friends saw that
he was in no condition to go on,
someone suggested that the vice
president be given a little brandy.
They brought him a bottle and he
poured out two full tumblers. He
also drank some whiskey. By this
time he was in a pitiful condition.
Johnson unsteady and thick
tongued took the oath of office be-
fore crowded Senate chamber.
During this painful ordeal Pres
ident Abraham Lincoln's head
dropped in deepest humiliation.
AS Lincoln started towards the
steps of the Capitol to deliver the
inaugural he turned to the marshal
and said: Don't let johnson speak
outside" Nevertheless, Johnson
did speak for fifteen minutes. Re-
porters laughed, foreign diplo-
mats were shocked, the friends of
the government, with averted
faces, hung their heads while he,
in maudlin voice, said that he was
a common man and thanked God
for it.
He stumbled over words of his
oath and was, with great difficulty,
prevented from rising a second
time to address the assembly.
0Whaf a Shame"

What a shame! Has he no
friends? Tell him to stop to save

the country from further dis
grace"
The Philadelphia Public Ledger,
March 8, said:
There have been shameful ex-
hibitions in public before by men
occupying positions and places of
honor, but in no period in our
political history can there be
found one which so degraded the
high office the people had as
sembled to honor"
But at Lincoln's assassination
Johnson actually became the Presi-
dent-one of the worst the nation
has ever had. He okeyed the Ku
Klux Klan which ran wild until
Grant became President and sup
pressed it.
He was a Tennessee Democrat,
who was put on the ticket only as
sop to the South, during the Civil
War.
He believed firmly that the
South should not have gone out of
the Union but after the seeding
States were defeated he was will
ing that the members of the Con-
federate Congress should come
back to Washington, take their
seats in the Capitol as though
nothing had happened.
He vetoed the Civil Rights Bill
granting the colored people rights
of citizenship. He opposed the or
ganization of a Freedmen's bureau.
He opposed the Thirteenth and
Fourteenth Amendments giving
the former slaves emancipation
and equal rights. He opposed the
entire Reconstruction program of
Thaddeus Stevens, Charles Sum-
ner and the other stalwarts who
fought to make freedom real for
colored people.
The result was that Congress
passed all the Reconstruction
measures which we have over his
veto. 1t also passed resolution
to impeach him. It was within one
or two votes of actually kicking
him out of office.
