A.: V _ We, the Republican Party, being at our wits’ end and desperate, put it up to you: For nearly four years now e Democratic Administration has been im power. Contrary to every law ef reason, every principle of progress, the country is at peace and alive, nay, humming with pros- perity. Business is rushivg. Wages are high. The only discontent is the discontent of those who are reaching for bigger chunks of plenty. We are flabbergasted. All this has happened during « period when the rest of the world has been agog, when international crises were impending on all sides, when we would have sworn only Republi-! can statesmanship could pull the nation through. No war hes engulfed us. No panic hes paralysed us. No nation hes with impunity continued to infringe upon our rights, We can’t deny what has been done. All we can do is take our oath we could have done it better. How, wedo not know. If only we said it loud and long enough we hoped the country would believe us. But the country is busy and our voices grow hoarse. We are baving « hard time. Woodrow Wileon has nothing to show but what he has accom- plished. He has none of the glamour of the what-might-be. We, on the contrary, have our old promises and policies, mellowed by age, but still bearing the stamp of the nation’s solid interests. Protection, ae Just a Wife (Her Diary.)
