The republican party has been in power continuously, with the excep- tion of two terms, eight years, since 1860, or about 42 years. If they had power to give the mer these prices and have withheld it all these years, then they deserve to be damned by that class. If they are responsible | for the prevailing prices, then they financial were responsible for the Thursday, Jan. 27th, 7:30 | | meant a reduction of the already bur- j|densome tariff laws. The people of |the whole country believed that is |what it meant as otherwise there —___|would have been no need for that| |kind of a demand, for any man with | __ja spoonful of brains knows that the people were not clamoring for higher jand more taxation. If the Republi- jcan party had honestly declared in | | platform that the party meant to in-} |crease the tariff rates, Mr. Taft could | | not have been elected. | It is now up to the people of the 6th district to speak out first of all the | | people in the country, and if they are | opposed to this iniquitous tariff law jand the increased burdens it has/| | placed upon the whole people to say |so by voting for the Democratic nomi- | nee, Hon.

The sole and only question to be passed Will the farmer voters of \the sixth district endorse or reject the policies under which, in the past |dozen years, the American farmer has come to be the most prosperous jagriculturist the sun has ever shown upon, believe that this leaves any doubt about how Mr, Grif- |fith stands on these questions? One of the most prominent Republicans in the county said to us that if he was convinced Mr. Griffith was for Can- nonism that he would not vote for him. Does any one The Republican Chairman, of one of the strongest republican townships in the county, in answer to the in- quiry from Republican headquarters, asking the situation in his township, , wrote as follows: “If Mr. Griffith believes in a square deal for all the | people, he will get every Republican vote and some Democratic votes, but | if, as has been reported, he is an ad- | ministration man, and favors the Can- non-Aldrich crowd, then he won't get a d—d vote in this township."’ It ,</is not reported that Mr. Griffith has disclaimed his allegiance to Cannon and the organization crowd.

To-day the cost of living is higher than was ever known in the history of the world, and if the farmer had anything to sell, his increased receipts would hardly offset the increased price he has to pay for everything he is compelled to buy. So serious has the situation become that Congress has been compelled to take notice and a congressional committee has been appointed to investigate the cause and if possible discover a remedy for the high prices of living. ‘ Wages have not increased commen- surate with the cost of living, and that class is straining every energy to make ends meet while they keep body and soul together. The school teachers, the clerks, in fact every one who lives on a salary is effected and that is the largest class of peeple in the United States. While these Republican speakers and papers are telling the farmers they are responsible for the high prices they get, they are assuring all other consumers that they are unable to account for the high prices they have to pay and a Republican con- gress attempts to fool them by ap- pointiag a committee to investigate. Mr. Griffith, the Republican nomi- nee, a staunch Cannon, organization man, is using that stock argument in the Greenfield Vedette. He declares in line with Mr. Taft’s Winona speech, that the Cannon-Aldrich-Payne-Smoot bill, isthe best this government ever had.
