INVITED TO BIG PA MONEY WASTE OF WILSON MEN ’\“Democratic Administration Al- ways Abroad at Home and Never at Home Abroad” ECONOMY WATCHWORD Federal Requirements Mean Tax Now of $52 for Every Man, Woman and Child Cincinnati, Oct. 30.—In one of the final addresses of the campaign. Sen- ator Harding gave a vigorous discus- sion of the issue last evening. He said. -~ N Fellow Americans: While there has been a great deal said in this campaign, especially in certain cir- cles which proclaim and boast an atmosphere of ethereal ideality about the heart of’the world and the soul of humanity, surely something is due to be said about the heart of America and even, if we are to he ) at all practical, about the material welfare of Americans. From the beginning of, the cam- | paign there has been a persistent | effort upon the part of our opponents to divert the attention from the most | important issues of the campaign, to concentrate the interest of voters upon speculative propositions with reference to our foreign rel tions rather than to have any di cussion of our deplorable dome relations under the present govern- mental administration. the | But we do not prépose that they | shall evade this discussion or ignore their responsibility; for the condi- tions which confront us. We have, for the past eight/ years had an administration which nh. been more concerned} with theo than with pertormanch, more in- Yerested in internationality than in nationality. Never at Home We have had an administration always abroad at home and never at home abroad. We have had an which despised facts as puerile ignored causes as negligible, andi sought results by proclamation. The administration placed in power by the Democratic party . ia 1912 has again to make a report of its stewardship. It is again. seeking for a renewal of its commission of authority, and a vote of confidence. \ Desperate Need of Country We are asking ‘for the return of the Republican party to power be- cause of the desperate need of the country, because of the perils into which incapacity, heedlessness, false principles and loose practices, have plunged us. We realize that we are undertak- ing a Herculanean task in proposing to clean our own house of the debi and wreckage of eight years of reck less, unbusiness-like, impractical and blundering operation. We _ realize that it may take years to undo the | evil that has beensdone. We realize that the work before us involves ex- hausting labor and Sacrifice upon the part of all in responsibility, tingly to bring about the reforms needed. But it is a matter of self-defens: and ‘self-preservation for the people of the United States. Their gavern- ment is not functioning effectively, their publig revenues are being wasted, their public debts increased to a point threatening their national! | solvency, while their industries, theii | commerce, their transportation sys- tems are staggering under check burdens and imposts, housing condi- | tions becoming seriously inadequate, | living costs mounting beyond | and 1 reach, and government obligations in the hands of the citizenship under *par and depreciation. Fortunately, the Republican party has a record for meeting and solv- | ing such problems, and opening and maintaining the pathways of pros- perity, and it can and will do so again. Must Not Be Diverted. But the people must not be di- and | that we shall have to fight unremit- | administration |_ | | verted or beguiled from consideration | of these matters which affect them immediately and vitally, and they should perhaps be reminged of the record. In 1913 the Democratic party went | into power ‘ith a promise to reduce | what was then considered the high | They made that the | cost of living. paramount promise of their 1912 campaign. What of the fulfillment? They lowered the barriers of trade. threw open our American market to unfair world competition, and brought us to the verge of industrial paralysis ‘and commercial stagnation, which the administration announced placid- ly and mistakingly to be a psycholog- | ical depression—and only the world needs of a world war saved us from economic disaster at that “time. They went into office with a pledge to establish governmental economy: and they broke faith with an-exhibi * tion of the most profligate and in- excusable waste of public funds which | the world has ever known.

H. Stutsman, of Man- dan, who is one of the three can- didates for railroad commissioner, Mr. Stutsman probably knows as much about railroad problems as any man in the Northwest. He frequently is called out of the state for consultation on intricate matters.

The spirits of the boys and girls of Bismarck can’t be dampened by a little cold weather. The weather bureau indications today were for colder and cloudy weather, but it did not appear that there would be any snow. Parents are assured by the Town i that every measure for the safety and comfort of the kiddies will be taken. There will be a large num- ber of Town Criers stationed at vari- ous points along the parade line. At the Auditorium the only grown peo- ple will be wives of Town Crier’, wha will act as patronesses, and perhaps ; 2 few Town Criers to assist in kee* | ing the entertainment in orderly chan- | nels. The boys and girls are asked to gather at the following places in time for the parade to move promptly aé 7:30 p. m.: Will school children on grounds; William Moore school school pupils at fire hall; St. Mary’s | and Wachter ‘school children on the vacant lot north of the Auditorium and the grade school pupils who go forthe high school building, at. fire all.

Director Monson and members of the band generously consented to lead the parade and join in the spirit of the celebration. Atfer a parade through the down- town streets the boys and girls will march to the Auditorium. where sev- en reels of picked moving pictures will be shown. The movies will end at 10 o’clock and parents may call for their children at that time. It is made plain by the committee that no one over 2Q years of age will be permitted in the Auditorium. The ‘entertainment is for the boys and girls of the city only. Every boy and girl is invited to at- tend and be in the parade.
