REPUBLICAN PARTY AND MONEY

T /* TRADE MARK. ■*.!.. ,« \ , • >» A Fordson Tractor on the farm means more prosperity for the farmer. ,It doesn’t make any difference how you spell that prosperity —whether it is. in Increased production; whether it is t » in the saving that comes from a machine over a horse or a mule; whether it comes in a release from the drudgery and all-day and all-night labor on the farm for both man and wife—because the Fordson answers all those problems to the satisfaction of the farmer. It can’t be otherwise. These are the days of progress, and power on the farm is the necessity. It is only a question of wha* kind of power the farmer is going to have, but no farmer ( with the facts now before him can question the monetary advantage of machine power over horse and mule-power. The Tractor is the farmer’s necessity Just as much as the sun is the i necessity for growing crops. , .. .1 v . • . v • * ' All that is necessary for a farmer is to know his Fordson Tractor as familiarly as he understands handling a team of horses. He wants to use the same amount of reason and common , sense. In the Fordson Tractor is the concentrated power of eighteen horses, and as flexible as the movement of your arm —much more flexible than horse control —and beyond all comparison much more economical both in service and in keep. Then it will do so many things that horses and mules cannot do, and it doesn’t eat,when idle. We don’t believe there is any question in the mind of any farmer as to the necessity for a Tractor, but he may have some doubts as to what make of Tractor, so that is the reason v we are putting this advertisement in this paper to draw his attention to the Fordson Tractor. This is why we put the above arguments before him, and why we now invite him to come in to our place of business and view the Fordson Tractor. Let us show him what it has done. Let us prove to him its superiority over any other Tractor. It means more to him than it does to us. When we sell a Tractor, we make a small profit, but when he buys a Tractor he buys Central Sales Co.

conditions that prevail in that party, especially as they were manifested at Chicago during the late convention. Writing in the Sunset Magazine for September, he says that, though it is now necessary to fight against what he believes “the menace and the peril” of the league, “we v by no means approve or indorse or yield any sort of allegiance to the system which prevailed at Chicago.” He says: At Chicago those peculiar financial forces in New York, who believe the government "belongs to them and;! that its primal purpose is for their profit, were brazenly directing their willing puppets, who in turn were manipulating delegations. Boldly and contemptuously these financial magnates and those who represented j them politically, denied the right of j the people to participate in a nom- j ination. If the Republican party is to survive as a party of the people,! this system must be destroyed. One regrets that Indiana is chosen as a horrible example, yet such is the fact. We are reminded that at! the primary General Wood received*j 85,000 votes, Senator Johnson 80,000 votes. Governor Lowden 38,000 and Senator Harding 20,000. The state convention instructed the delegates-at-large to support General Wood in

accordance-with the sxpressed wishes of the people. Yet, Johnson says, Senator Watson, the leader of the delegation, himself pledged, both by primary and convention, for, WooH,“was for Harding” from “the first instant he reached Chicago.” Speaking of Watson, and his part in the proceedings, Senator Johnson said: It is of little consequence how he voted during the balloting; in fact he never was for the choice of the people nor for the choice of the convention which selected him. Here was a delegation, therefore, after the people of the state had voted and had given to Wood aiid Johnson 165,000 votes, endeavoring to nominate one for whom only 20,000 of their people had voted. The delegation simply said: “Indiana be damned.” Some of the people who were parties to the recent betrayal of the people come up for re-election this year. How brave they were in I voicing their contempt of the rank and file of the party and the people generally at Chicago! We wonder if, during the' campaign, when they are asking the suffrage of their fel- i low-men, they will have the same courage and express themselves in the same manner. This denunciation of methods and influences, and of tjjie agents through whom they operate leaves little to be said by way of comment. It is both general in its scope and particular In Ittf application. It is, of

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

course, known that at Chicago, Senator Penrose, though 1,000 miles away, was a sort of director-general. No one outside of the inner circle, believed that Senator Harding was to be nominated. Every one laughed at the prophecy of Daugherty that the candidate would be picked by a group of “tired men” in a hotel bedroom at 2 o’clock in the morning. He was either a remarkable prophet, or he knew what the program was. Certain it is that the people of Indiana, as Senator Johnson shows, did not favor the nomination of Harding. But Senator Watson, so his California colleague says, with a fine disregard for “senatorial courtesy,” was at heart for Harding all the while—that “from the instant that Senator Watson reached Chicago he was for Senator Harding,” even though it was a case of “Indiana be damned.” —Indianapolis News (Rep.). ,

JIM WATSON AGAIN

Senator James E. Watson, Republican candidate for re-election to the United States senate, is reported to have said in a campaign address at Columbus, Ind., last Tuesday, that “Germany was justified in sinking the Lusitania.” It is difficult for us to believe that any man occupy-

ing the high position Senator Watson does, would be guilty of such an outrageous statement. It would be hardly expected to come from the most ardent , German “junker,” let alone a senator of a nation that lost hundreds of its citizens in the foulest outrage in all warfare. If the senator actually made - that remark he deserves the utter' condemnation of every man and woman who holds allegiance to the. flag. The calibre of a mail who could and justify the act of a hidden submarine that sent more than 1,000 non-combatent men, women and children to a- watery grave without the slightest warning, is entirely too small for the United States senate and even a place in our citizenship. Senator Watson’s espousal of a separate peace with Germany and his declaration that we never officially declared war on the kaiser lends credence to his latest remark and confirms the belief held in many quarters that he is catering to the so-called pro-Gertnan vote In Indiana to send him hack to the senate and to his position in the councils of the senatorial cabal. Senator Watson confirmed reports

that the Republican leaders favor war on Mexico when he declared in a campaign address the other day that the administration should have sent an army into the southern republic at the first signs of disturbance. In the same speech he criticized the war on Germany, all of which leads to the conclusion Chat Senator Watson is not afraid of antagonizing the Mexican vote in Indiana.

THE LEAGUE A GREAT MORAL ISSUE

The cardinal doctrines of Christian service are set forth in a half dozen paragraphs ,of the covenant. The league will set up, or itself become, a clearing house for international justice and social service. Among the things that the nations working together will endeavor to do, all member nations agreeing, are the following: They will try to secure and maintain fair and humanp conditions of labor for men, women and children, thus lifting the standards of living everywhere. They will try to secure just treat* ment of the native inhabitants of territories under their control. They will try to secure and maintain freedom of communications and of transit and equitable treatment for the commerce of members of the league. They will labor together in the effort to control and ultimately eradicate disease. They will set up commissions for the prevention of the 'illicit traffic in , arms, in dangerous drugs and in women for immoral purposes. TheSe practices constitute the endemic centers, or breeding places, of what we may jcall the disease of civilization. The task of controlling the spread of these evils and in time cleaning up the plague spots Is too big to be accomplished by any one nation. It can only be done by international co-operatidn, and the league supplies the necessary agency.—Governor Cox.

REPUBLICANS AND FARMERS

“During the 18 months the Republicans controlled the senate and house, they failed to make adequate appropriations to take care of the agricultural interests of the country. In the last congress, with the Republicans controlling the committees on agriculture in 'house and senate, they reduced the appropriation requested by a Democratic department

of agriculture over $7,000,000, and reduced the appropriations provided for by a Democratic congress approximately 12,500,000. They cut out and roduced appropriations that' were necessary to preserve the livestock Interests of the countty. They refused to provide adequate appropriations to encourage and aid the American farmer ih the production, conservation and sale of his crops. “Senator Harding was one of these conspirators in the senate against the American fanner, and while we of the Democratic party receiving the hearty co-operation of a Democratic administration were making the fight for weeks in the American congress to prevent the present conditions against which the American farmer and stockman are now striving, Senator Harding and his reactionary Republican friends in the senate and the house were challenging our every statement and obstructing our every effort. —Senator Pat Harrison.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS URGED BY CONGRESS

Before the Republican readers imade the league of nations a partisan issue the American people as «, whole favored a league of nations. Congress favored it. In the naval appropriation bill, approved August, 1916, which was passed in the U. S. senate by a vote of 71 to 8 and in the house, 283 to 51, Senators Borah, Brandegee, Harding, Lodge and Penrose voting for it, a paragraph was inserted declaring it to be the policy of the United States to settle national disputes through mediation and arbitration, that armaments should be decreased, and authorizing and requesting the president to invite, not later than the close of the war in Europe, all the great governments of the world to send representatives to a conference to formulate a plan for a court or other, tribunal to which disputed questions between nations should be referred. The bill appropriated money for this object and provided for a reduction in our naval expenditures in the event of the success of the .plan proposed.

THE SUPREME COURT AND THE ELECTION

The purity and greatness of , the supreme court of the United States is something that is dear to every American’s heart, and the fact that four new members very probably will be appointed by the next president is a matter for deep consideration in this election. Four members of the court are now eligible for retirement on account of age and it is probable there will be four vacancies on the court to be filled within the next four years. Thoughtful peopledtherefore, will ponder the point recently made by Governor Cox to the effect that the senatorial oligarchy has for its aim not only the control of the executive through the election of Senator Harding, but through him the appointment of four members of the United States supreme court, and- thus, to bind the country to reaction for the better part of a generation.

PEACE, PROGRESS AND PROSPERITY

“Next year, if we go into the league of nations, we can save $465,060,000 in our navy alone. Do you know what you can do with $465,000,000? You can reclaim 23,000,000 acres of arid land in the west. I am in favor of stoppifag the building battleships and of giving every soldier boy a farm and a home of his own, if he wants to try it olit there in that great promising country. If he doesn’t want that, then I am in favor of the fourfold plan, which was recommended by the American Legion at Cleveland within the last week or 10 days.”— Governor Cox.
