Jasper County Democrat, Volume 9, Number 31, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 November 1906 — Investigation Necessary. [ARTICLE]

Investigation Necessary.

For the next two years, at least, actual legislation on Democratic lines Is out of the question, because the Republican senate will veto It. Yet as It Is Important to elect a Democratic house of representatives In order to prevent further Republican legislation by congress and thus to check legislative abuses. It is all the more Important, as It will lead to the election of a Democratic president and so check executive usurpation, which may be made to cover the whole field of legislation as well as that of diplomacy, as the history of the Roosevelt administration plainly foreshadows. A Democratic bouse of representatives is also necessary to Investigate all the departments of the government, for the exposure of scandals already accomplished has shown that there is much yet behind the curtain that has been suppressed as a party necessity.
