Democratic Achievements
and
Republican Failures
Under the Wilson adminittration more cssostmodn lefift-
lataoa was enacted in eight yean than io aiy prprlow tjtty
yean
The Wilson administration produced the Federal Reatrvc
Act the greatest single achievement to the credit of any
administration and universally agreed 1 the finest
financial legislation ia the history oi the world.
Under the Wilson administration labor ma casployad
ateadOy for eight years the wheels of industry ktpt turning
and when Harding was elected President ta Norember
1920 there was not a man out of work who was wflQnf
to work.
Then in the three and ono-half years foOowtng there wara
two periods of financial depression. Tfaene k ustemployaent
today in the industrial districts of New England; th steal
mills of the Pittsburgh district have fewer unfilled orders
than in years and faDuret have incriaselatannningratc
In eight years of Wilson there were few failures.
In 1921 there were 404 bank faSurea.
In' 1922 there were 277 bank failures.
In 1923 there were 540 bank failures.
During the first six months of 1924 there hare been al-
most three times as many bask faiteies a during the kw
three years of Wilson's second adniink4iUon.
In fifteen states 600000 farmers have been ruined since
1921 and the number that bar mortgaged their farms or
are in the hands of Shy locks are beyond eatimata
Today the banks are full of money 4dle money and
there ia so much lack of confidence that expansion of old
enterprises or developments of new ones is not possible.

For tbirt ynr I bare teen ftocuatomed
to roto as an Independent in ouf quadrennial elec
tione Mlecting mj candidate according to the per-
lonalHiei. tiie iseuea and the necessities of the
hour.
In tha light of the last four Fears of the
Republic's history no Independent can trust the ex-
isting 8pu3)lican party. He can and dies trust .the
President hut be knovs that with nil his excellent
qualities Calvin Coolidge is no leader. He ean sit
en the lid hut he can't keep it down. The Indepen-
dent voter likes the President's ideas on the essen-
tials of honesty teonoojiles and practical thrift hut
froa thrice hitter experlenee he knows that JW. Cool-
idge' e relation to Congress is like the weather-man's
to a lortheaster he watches what happens. That ie
the slsplt truth. 1
John f . Darls oomes from a different breed.
Ie oaa argue no man better but if needs must
he oaa fight. His experience with men and measures
la this country is wide. Abroad It ie immeasurably
greater than Mr. Coolidge' s. What Mr. Coolidge seeks'
to lean from maps a small. circle of friends and
Colonel Earrey'e reports Me. Davis knows at first-
hand fdr himself .
fhoerer is eleoted President the next
Congress will be liberal. Mr. Davie ie a liberal.'
Se will not try to dam the flood but will oontrol iti
Whoever is eleoted President the United
States will one day bear its share of the world's
duties. Mr. Coolidge knows this and would like
to put his shoulder to the task but the Republican
Party says Ho. But to his party Mr Davis will
say Tsf.

3 Help the farmer.
The Republican party promisee another comrnlaslon
