r DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1921.

11 MONROE VOTERS HEAR MR. ADAIR DISCUSS ISSUES 1 ‘ (Continued from Page Four) promised them time and time again by the party In power. The farmer, J i the laborer and the small business man was ignored, while big business , > with a political pull was taken care ] j of. FinallyNhe people, regardless of party, went to the ballot box in 1912 [• and voted the republican party out , of power. This was not a deinocatic . “ victory. It was a republican victory as much as it was a democratic , victory. Now let us analyze the record of the democratic party while it was in control. Let me first remind you that our party was In control only 6 years, from March 4. 1913. to March 4. 1919. “The last two years of the Wilson administration we had a republican house, that refused to co-operate with the president—refused to enact into , y law his program of legislation for reconstruction following the war, and , r made it impossible for him to do the 0 things that should have been done at that time. When our party took con- _ trol on March 4. 1913, was immediately proceeded to carry out every e . promise made to the people in our platform of 1912. In two years we passed more constructive and help- |. fill legislation than had been passed I in a quarter of a century The Federal Reserve act. taking the control of i. money out of the hands of Wall street and making it impossible for a dozen men to bring an a panic whenever it S suited them to do so; an Income Tax law compelling the wealth of the [ s, country to pay its just part toward the running expenses of the country; t sixteen important laws in the interest of labor; all the legislation the farm B. organization of the country ask for; a law creating the Federal Trade - cominision; a law creating a Tariff commission; extension of the Parcel Post system and many other laws; all H s- so good and so helpful, that our re-1 [f publican friends have not even sug-H 0 gested a repeal of any of them, except „ the Underwood tariff law, which has ben replaced b ythe Fordney tariff law, the most unjust unfair and the .. most hurtful piece of legislation in a I generation. r What He Stands For y. “Now my friends, let me say a word about my own candidacy for congress ' R You have a right to know what I pr<r j pose to do if elected. You should I judge my future by my past record. I represented this district in congress ~ for ten years anil you know what I i. did then and you know what I can do n now. If you send me back to con;1. gress, here is what I propose to do. x Every grafter, crook and profiteer I ! must be severely punished and every > j public official made to understand s 'that public office is a public trust and 'not a mqgms of personal ijain. Taxes 'must bo reduced. Not only for big , jincome taxpayers, but forth? farm- ,. |ers, laborers, merchants, mechanics i. and all those whose incomes are not x large enough to be reached by an ine iconic tax. but who are indirectly and g unjustly taxed on everything they y buy to use to eat and wear. The :. I burden of indirect taxation falls too iheavily on 107,000.000 people and i- inust be reduced. Agriculture must n be redeemed. The farmer must bo res stored to his former position. Value must return to his land. Farm pro- ” ducts must bring better prices and ■ the business of farming must be made I more profitable. The farmer must | .have lower taxes, lower freight rates on farm products, better markets and (better prices for what he produces, land pay much less for the things he |is compelled to buy. There is too much difference between the price of the products of the farm and the price of the necessities the farmer must buy. Labor is entitled to just consideration at the hands of congress. The working-man must have suitable and healthful working conditions and such compensation as will enable him to maintain a high standard of living, properly fed. clothed and educate his children, so they may be prepared for the highest type of [ American citizenship. Economy and I efficiency should permeate every ! branch of the public service. Useless and unnecessary employees should be weeded out of every department of government and not a single dollar of the people's money should be wa«t- --' ed. The cost of government should ;be reduced to the lowest possible figure consistent with good service. Our immigration laws should be strengthened so as to exclude those who are undesirable or those who are mentally .morally and physically unfit for American citizenship. Soldiers of all wars should be liberally provided for, so that no one who offered his life for his country shall ever want for the comforts of life. Special privileges and class legislation must be brought to an end and the doctrine I of equal rights made a permanent I part of our national policy. All laws |

must be rigidly enforced.’’ Q Purdue And DePauw Have Many Students (United Press Service) Lafayette, Ind., Sept. 13—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Late registration today was expected to carry the total enrollment of Purdue university for the fall semester above the 3,000 mark.
