Optimism Rules Democratic Banquet

ORATORS READ COME-BACK IN PARTY RECORD Point to Failures of | Republican Administration. SCORE TIRACY’ Optimism and enthusiasm characterized the annual midwinter banquet of the Democratic State Editorial Association at the Claypool Hotel last night, one of the largest meetings of its kind held by the party in Indiana in recent years. Cordell Hull, Democratic national chairman, was the principal sprier, pointing out the shortcomings of the Republican Administration, the accomplishments of the last Democratic Administration and the outlook for the future. Mr. Hull recalled the failure of the Republican Administration to keep its promises, the financial depression which followed the election of a Republican President, and the fact the party is carrying out in international affairs to some extent the policies of Woodrow Wilson, which were strongly deknounced In 1920 by the Republicans. Other speakers on the program were Claude G. Bowers of Ft. Wayne, who delivered a fiery oration on the shortcomings of the Republican Administration ; Benjamin Bosse, Democratic State chairman, who spoke of affairs in Indiana; Mrs. Grace Julian Clarke of Indianapolis, Samuel M. Ralston, former Governor of Indiana, and James Clifton, mayor of Connersville. BOSSK DEMANDS HOME KILE. William L. Llinkard, president of the editorial association, who acted as toast master, called first on Chairman Bosse, who attacked the public service commission and the administration of the tax law and demanded the return of home rule to the cities of Indiana. ✓ < The Republicans, he said, have insisted the Democrats should not be returned to power because they have not the quality of leadership. He said the Democrats do possess that power, and in his opinion, “thwe never were so many prayers as now for a man who can bring a solution of the present problems whereby the rich can retain something of what they have and the poor can obtain food and clothing.” “It Is time for the Democrats to bring forth the best minds of the party who would be willing to serve in the Senate and House in order that confidence may be restored and policies shaped so that the agriculturist at least can be shown how it is possible for him to sell a calf hide at 71 cents and pay sl2 for a pair of shoes. l "We also want someone with the Fcburage to return to the municipalities the power to govern their own affairs. The expansion of the cities of Indiana In retarded because the public utilities are tied up in the hands of a few men. “The Democratic party necessarllly must be called to power to regulate taxation so the farmers may not be called on to pay more taxes than they receive from thel. crops.” Mr. Bosse said the Republicans will not repeal the present tax laws, because to do so would be embarrassing. A letter from Thomas Taggart outlining the policy of the party for the equality of women in its affairs and discussing national issues was read by W. H O'Brien of Lawrenceburg. Mr. Taggart also pointed out the national Administration in foreign affairs is following the precepts of the Democratic Administration and the treaties arrived at In the recent disarmament conference snould be ratified. Mrs. Clarke in her talk discussed the policies of government laid down by Thomas Jefferson and applied them to present conditions. She stressed par-

ticularly Jefferson’* action that “The whole art of government consists In the art of being honest.” In applying this to the seating of Truman IL Newberry as a Senator from Michigan, she said: “Recently a man has been seated In the Senate of the United States by the vote of a scant majority whose election was procured by the use of money and In express defiance of the specific provisions of the law. The facts were so patent, the abuse and usurpation so pronounced, If the people of the United States do not rebuke and condignly punish those who, knowing perfectly the circumstances, sanctioned this crime, then we have lndoed fallen on evil days and are compassed round with dangers Impossible of exaggeration. Can the art of government be successfully practiced by men who so little comprehend the art of being hknest? Several of those recreant Senators are this year seeking re-election. What are the people going to do about it? There is no questioning their power; there should be little doubt as to their treatment of servants who have proven his faithless.” Mr. Clifton spoke briefly, calling attention to the shortcoming* of the Administration. Mr. Bowers then launched Into his talk by declaring “the birth of the Republican Administration brought no joy, its death will bring no sorrow and its record will deserve no epitaph.” “CHANGE" DEFINED BY BOWERS. “The Republican* have kept their promise In particular—they have brought a change, and you can see that change and can feed It In your purses,” he declared. “Now we know what ‘normalcy’ mean*.” In referring to WHI H. Hay* Mr. Bowers said, “he ha* given up the attempt to bring about ’normalcy’ and has taken up the comparatively simple task of reforming the moral* of the movies.” ■ Mr. Bower* discussed in detail the accomplishments of the Wilson Administration and declared no one has had the temerity to suggest one of these monumental achievements be stricken from the books. He declared the Republican Congress has accomplished nothing and has explained repeatedly the few things they have done are unsatisfactory and must be revised. He characterized Senator Henry Cabot Lodge a* “the greatest moral traitor since Benedict. Arnold.” Considerable stress was laid by Mr. Bowers on the failure of the Congress to enact a tariff law and declared “It is time for them to go into a court of intellectual bankruptcy and apply for a receiver.” In discussing the Newberry case, he said the party “has taken a man from the hands of a Michigan Jury and robed him with.toga of a Senator.” SEN AT H SEATS AT AUCTION. “Seats in the Senate have been put on the auction block,” he said. “If they had not had Newberry they could not ,huve packed the foreign relations committee against the League of Nations. Newberrylsm is an issue in Indiana because two of the five men who led the fight for Newberry In the Senate are from Indiana.” / The only credltlble accomplishments of the present administration are those in which it has followed in the footsteps of Woodrow Wilson, he said. He said this has been done in regard to Mexico. Colombia, Mesapotomia and in the Washington conference. He called particular attention to the fact that the conference included a provision almost identical with Article 10 of the League of Nations in one of its treaties. “The Invitation to the powers to meet in conference is merely another Jewel in the crown of Woodrow Wilson,” he said. Mr. Bower* received the greatest ovation of the evening. The crowd arose to its feet and cheered. When the cheering died out it was revived again and again- Mr. Bowers has been mentioned as a senatorial possibility. Mr. Ralston spoke briefly in introducing Mr. Hull, referring to the accomplishments of the Editorial Association and of the public record of Mr. HulL CORDELL HULL TELLS EDITORS OF CONDITIONS Answering the speech of Vice President Calvin Coolidge before the Republican ‘ State Editorial Association recently, Cordell Hull, Democratic national chairman, told in a speech before .the Democratic State Editorial Association, at the Clay-

pool Hotel last night, of the shortcomings of the present Administration and of the accomplishment* of the last Democratic Administration. His speech is part follows: I noticed from press reports that our distinguished Vice President Coolidge recently honored the people of Indiana with a political visit. 1 noticed also that he delivered a speech here during that visit which was highly laudatory or the President and hi 9 Cabinet, and equally laudatory of the Republican Congress, According to his testimony. Congress and the President occupy the same level of official merit, gauged by their respective records thus far. In the light of the true and full facts, this is about the only statement contained in the speech of the Vice President with which 1 find myself in accord. In referring to the course of the Democratic administration from 1918 to 1920, he states that: “The former government had made no plans, had adopted no policy for regaining peace-time pursuits.” I shall later recite to you the chief portion of the most comprehensive program of reconstruction adopted by any government in the world since the war, which was proposed by the Democratic administration faring the months following the Armistice. VICE PRESIDENTIAL BLUNDERS. The Vice President gave unstinted praise to the so-called internal tax reduction measure enacted some months ago by a Republican Congress, and yet Senator Penrose, who had the bill in charge, assured the country after its passnge through Congress, that this halfbaked, lopsided piece of patch-work legislation was only a temporary makeshift measure, and that a well considered permanent law would later be framed and enacted. I shall also refer later to the egregious blunder of the Vice President in his claims of Congressional economy and his deadly silence on the Newberry sdandal, which took place under his very nose. The distinguishing feature* of the Indianapolis speech of the Vice President are its exaggerations and omissions, from end to end. Many most serious problems of a business, economic and social nature confront the Nation. The 'people everywhere are asking what is the matter with the coun try? What is the matter with the Republican party, in complete contrel of the Federal Government for a year and of both houses of Congress for three vears? The idle workiqan, the impoverished farmer and the harassed business man impatiently demand to knpw the cause of our unprecedented economic difficulties and who is responsible therefor. They demand to know why the national Republican leaders, with their boasted business Judgment and foresight, concealed from the country due warning of the awful industrial collapse that was to visit the Nation following Republican victory in 1920. Sensible and intelligent people evervwhere have already concluded that if the Republican leadership, which, from the President down, urged the people to produce to the maximum in their speeches during 1920, were not capable of foreseeing tie industrial panic that would Inevitably burst upon the country during the winter and spring following the November election of 1920. such leadership is wholly incapable of conducting the nffalrs of the Government. The same people have already concluded, on the other hand, that if the Republican leadership in control did foresee the coming panic, ami deliberately suppressed the information from the people during the campaign of 1920, these Republican leaders are wholly untrustworthy and unfit to have control of the Government. PI BLIC LED INTO PANIC. In my judgment, cattle were never more deliberately led to slaughter nor sheep to the shambles, than were the .American people steered over the precipice to panic conditions and terrific business demoralization by the national Republican leadership from 1918 to 19-1. The paramount purpose of these Mind and selfish partisan leaders was to create the widest possible dissatisfaction among the American voters against the Democratic Administration to the end that in 1920 they would demand “a change,” “a change, presumably, as to ail our foreign and domestic policies, “a ( hange” ns to our international economic and trade policies, and “a change as to ■ or domestic business conditions as well. The Republican leaders got what they wanted, viz: control of the Government; the American people got the naked thing they voted for, to-wit: “ a change.” They lost on everything else. No people, free f serf, were ever worse, flimflammed than the American electorate by the Republican political patriots in control of their party prior to the November election in 1920. Since that election, the people, following same Republican leadership, have waltzed down the economic decline to the level of Industrial panic. In this condition of almost unparalleled distress, the Republican Administration, while rather sheepishly admitting conditions, has no views as to causes or remedies. “Aimlessness and inaction” are the controlling Republican policies today. With ail their falsehoods exposed and all their promises broken they pursue a rudderless course while the people continue to cry out for relief. In the meantime the Lodges, the Newberry*, and those of their ilk, in control of the Republican party, are having their frequent political Bellshazzer feasts in the nation’s Capital. How did men of the narrow, vicious, malignant political type of Lodge, and of the shrewd, commercial political brand of

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1922.

Newberry get in control of the great Federal Government? How did It come about that the people in their extreme distress, have only Government officials, such as Lodge and Newberry and their boon official and political companions, to whom they can appeal for sympathy and aid? .Senator Lodge can usually shift his position on many questions whenever a political exigency or political conspiracy suggests, and he can employ the most unfair tactics to achieve the smallest political end. His torturous course in politics is most remindful of that of Catallne, the political conspirator in the Roman Senate, while his statesmanship most nearly resembles that of Aaron Burr. CONDITIONS FOLLOWING WORLD WAR. The late World War left the public mind confused, disorganized and bewildered. Taking advantage of the mist and fog that obscured the vision of the citizen, the reactionary Republican leadership adopted a system of universal propaganda almost from the day the last shot was fired on the Western front, supported it by unlimited money, ana Industriously strove to capitalize In the elections to follow all the passion, suspicion, prejudice, misunderstanding and ignorance that could be reached. In these unholy efforts they were, for the time being, successful. Recent physical facts and conditions following the World War. however, have disclosed many new truths, exposed innumerable Republican myths and fiction#, and disillusioned people In many surprising ways. In the political world great outstanding facts today shine and blaze in the faces of men and women of America with incontestable evidence that the old Republican cry that the Democratic party is incompetent, tnat it is a menace to prosperity, that it is unfriendly to business, Is grossly libelous and outrageously false and ha* been from the beginning. Those other oldtime Republican battle cries, always untrue, that Republß-an Administration and business prosperity go hand In hand, that the typical Republican high protective tariff Is a panaeca of all Ills!, have been ruthlessly exposed and laid bare as a species of monumental humbuggery, although successfully practiced on the credulous American voter* fur many years. - When Democrats venture to point opt patent errors and omissions of this administration, they are upbraided with the boastful reminder that Harding won by 7,000,000 majority in 1920, and that the Democratic party was badly crippled as a result. The truth is that it was the American people far more than the Democratic party who have suffered the colossal losses that have resulted from Republican victory. It is beyond the power of wholesale abuse, falsehood and detraction long to dim the glory of the eight years' unparalleled achievement of the National Democracy, The work of constructive, patriotic statesmanship accomplished by that party, charged with National leadership and responsibility during the most eventful period of the world's his'ory, is as enduring as the granite hills and will gland out In bigger and clearer perspective during all the coming years. The Democratic party emerged from the fiery furnace of that almost super-human ordeal with flag untarnished, with dotcrlnes sound and pure, with a record of undying fame, and with cheerful hope for the future. Fundamental principles cannot be assassinated and a great historic record cannot long be falsified. Republican leader*, however, still clinging to the Barnum saying that "the people like to be humbugged ’ are again proceeding to flood the cotuutry with the same brand and label of propaganda in preparation for the next election. The proceedings and achievements of thp recent disarmament conference, for example, have been grossly exaggerated. Every citizen was anxious for the most successful outcome of the conference, and is most gla l to give fullest credit Ur such substantial results as may have been accomplished. While several phases of the work of the conference, especially those of omission, bring serious disappointment they may, when analyzed, prove to tie considerably more than off set by the beneficial portions, provided the agree ments shall later be carried out in good fulth. The implication arising are. In certain respects, more valuable than the

Every good citizen Is desirous- of securing the advantages of the beneficial provisions In the treaties, to the extent deemed wise and possible, notwithstanding unfortunate omissions and lso certain very objectionable features therein. Some of the main treaties are based on tho principle, the spirit and the policy of the League of Nations, which Lodge and bis cohorts once so vociferously denounced and which though adopted by 51 nations could not be mentioned above a whisper In the disarmament conference. I despise the political patriot who can beet be defined as a cross between a hypocrite and a humbug. The Democratic administration. In the early part of 1919, let me say to VicePresident Coolidge, formulated the soundest and most comprehensive program of reconstruction offered by any government following the World War. These plans embraced, among other things, credit and other facilities to promote our domestic and foreign trade—maintaining the International credit, finance and exchange situation—cautiously dealing with credit expansion, suppressing wild speculation, promoting full and peaceful employment of labor and capital, the early return of publlo utilities to private operation, vigorous handling of the high cost of living problems, the speedy demobilization of the army, early removal of war restrictions, legislation, etc., disarmament, reduction and readjustment of the system iof war taxes to a peace basis speedybudget and water power legislation, punishment of criminal profiteering—these and otherwise and needful proposals were contained in the Democratic reconstruction program, domestic prices, but that will Insure reasonable competition without destroying or seriously injuring any domestic Industry which may be economically justifiable. At the request of business they created a UA'iff commission to take the tariff out of politics. Republican* are Ignoring lt-M The comparison of Democratic achievement* during It# first eleven month* of power In 1913 with tne first eleven months of power in 1913 with the flrsr eleven months of Republican rule in 1921, is like comparing Mr. Everest to a mole hill—the former is filled with great constructive acts and policies calculated wonderfully to promote the welfare and happiness of every individual; tho latter t* almost as blank as a sheet of uniuked paper. Gross Republican Incompetency has become a live Issue. Viewing the present morass and chaos into which American thought and business has been drawn by selfish Republlcsn politics. It is clear that the first need of the country is the development of a sound public opinion that will give intelligent and active support to legislatures and congresses in the enactment of wire, remedial legislation; that will support legislative bodies in guarding the treasures against extravagance: thet will cooperate with legislative bodies in the preparation and enactment of comprehensive, sound and equitable systems of taxation ; that will stand between leg islatlve bodies and the demogogue, who is a greaterymenace than the I. W. IV., the Bolshevist or the anarchist; that will every two years seek the cleanest, ablest men* for office. insist on their eaudldcay and actively aid in their nomination and election. This latter the Democrats propose to do and challenge the Republicans to do likewise The second jrrent ne>d of the country Is to *ub*t!i tufe political nonesty for the gross Rei publican dishonesty practiced by their lladers since 1918.

TAGGART SAYS PACTS SHOULD BE RATIFIED Declares Arms Conference Was Step in Right Direction. PLEADS FOR WOMEN The treaties agreed to at the conference on the limitation of armaments are at least a step In the right direction and should be ratified, Thomas Taggart declared In a letter read at the banquet of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association In the Riley Room of the Claypool Hotel last night He Indicated the belief they aro a step toward the things Woodrow Wilson attempted to accomplish and therefore should have Democratic support. He added the Senate made the greatest error in its existence when it failed to ratify the treaty of Versailles. Mr. Taggart in his letter also spoka of the part women should have in party affairs and insisted they should not be designated merely as assistants and woman members, but should have a full part in the management of the party. TAGGART REGRETS HIS ABSENCE. Mr. Taggart’* l*tter follow*: “Mr. President, Indiana Democratic Editorial Association: I regret that It la impossible for me to once more meet this progressive, militant gathering of Democrats. “You have been fighting for the rights of the people all your life and notwithstanding the fact you have not always beeD victorious, you never knew what defeat meant, but were alway# ready and willing to again renew the battle for the Interest and welfare of the people. “I take it upon myself to say when the battle comes on this year that National Chairman Hull need have no fear but what the Indiana Democracy, led and inspired by this splendid band of Democratic editors, will do its duty faithfully and earnestly. “Mr. President, since women have the right of franchise, I have come to the conclusion they should participate with

the men equally In the organization of the Democratic party from precinct committeewomen to county or State chairman. In watching the women In politics since their enfranchisement many of them have done splendid work. Others are willing to work, but It seetns the opportunity in many cases has not been forthcoming. “if the Democratic party wants and 1 am sure It does —the full help and benefit women of this State can give It must make up Its mind now at the coming reorganization of the party that women have a perfect right and must share the equal responsibilities of the organization. “Women will not be satisfied to be aside merely by making them assistants or women members. What they want is their rights which puts them on an equality with the men. If It is not possible women shall divide equally with the men In the work of the organization, then I would not hesitate to say the women themselves should have a separate and distinct organization of their own, and if they did, I feel sure they would make the organization of men sit ■op and take notice. “Some men may think women have no right In polities or that they do not know how to organize a precinct or county. Women have as much Intelligence as men and I do not see any reason why a woman who will go at the work Intelligently and conscientiously cannot make Just as good an organization as any man. SAYS OPPORTUNITY HAS BEEN DENIED. “The reason I have made the above statement is In recent campaigns In several counties of the State and In some parts of the cities, women have not been given the opportunity to do what they could to help. Wo are going to win the fight this fall and I want to see every woman, as well as every man.

All the propaganda that was put out by our Republican friends at that time In regard to the better change of conditions, none of their promises have been fulfilled. Business conditions tha world over at least have not been growing better.

HOLDS LEAGUE REJECTION MISTAKE. “It seems to me in looking ever the situation that the United States Senate made the greatest error of its life when it failed to ratify the Leaegue of Nations and the Versailles treaty which was brought back from Paris by President Wilson. At that time the United State* stood out boldly as the most powerful Nation of the world on account of Its participation and the great part It took for humanity’s sake In the World War. “Had the Leagne of Nations and the Versailles treaty been adopted, even though with modifications, I fael certain the conditions of tha world, and particularly these of the United States, would have been in a different financial condition today. “It Is useless, however, to discuss tha’. eubject now, because that has all been thrashed out pretty thoroughly, and still I would not be surprised if I should come to life again. “In the present National Congress, Indiana is not represented in either branch, but I feel safe in saying when tha polls close in November, Indiana again will be represented In both branches of that dietin gull bed body. “It is hard to make good business through legislation alone, but It la sot hard if Senators and Congressmen will give their attention to tha financial affairs of the Nation to see the greatest economy daring these hard times is ab■erved. “It is true a budget system ha* been adopted, but the eystem means nothing; unless’’ unnecessary expenses sad meaag spent which bring the people no returns are kept out of the appropriation* Tha American people are not opposed t# legitimate expense# for the Government, but they are opposed to appropriation* which awell their taxes and which are only beneficial to a few people. “These unnecessary appropriations must and will be stopped and tha people of Indiana will do their part to see men are elected in November whose duty it will be to see useless appropriations ana not made which tha public have to pay in the nay of taxes. “Yours for our party’* success, “THOMAB TAGGART.”
