IF THE G. 0. P. ELEPHANT
COULD SPEAK THE TMJTH
TOTEUS of th* U. 8. A.?
We, the Republican party, being at
oar wits' end and desperate. put It
op to you :
roc nearly four years now a Demo
cratic Administration haa been In
power. Contrary to every taw of
reason, every principle ct progress,
the country is at peace and alive,
nay, bom mine wit* prosperity. Busi
ness li rushing. Wages ere high. Th.
only discontent Is the discontent of
those who are reaching for bigger
chunks of plenty.
We are flabbergasted. All this has
happened daring r period wben the
rest of the world haa been agog, when
International crlflee were Impending
on all sides, when we would hare
sworn only Republican statesmanship
could pull the ns t ion through.
No wsr haa engulfed us. No panic
has paralysed us. No nation has
' wtth Impunity continued to infringe
up6n oar rights.
We can't deny what has been dot*
All we can do !? take our oath we
could have done It better. How, we
?do not know. If only we said It loud
and long enough we hoped the coun
try would believe us.
But the country is busy snd oar
voices grow hosrse. We are having a
hard time.
Wood row Wilson has nothing to
show bat what be haa accomplished.
He hen none of the glamour of the
whst-mlght-be. We. on the contrary,
have oar old promises and pollclee.
mellowed by age, hut still beating
the stamp of the nation's aolld Inter

baa not given them their lust trial.
Wall street la with ua. Rig busi
ness Is with ua. But O, Voters, we
confess It. we need you. Don't keep
looking st the peace and prosperity
arountl you. Try to get our point of
view. Whatever Wiiaon has done, the

Editor Dally News:
If none of the enclosed clippings

to furnish you with Information when
you desire It. 1 had a man to. come
to me a few days ago to buy another
cow. He Is retailing milk In town
now and from a cow that from his
description of her has tuberculosis.
As a cow can give off tuberculosis
it seems to me that whst Washing
ton needs Is a good veternary doctor
to examine every cow from which
milk Is sold. Not only this, but from
own experience, stale beef is sold
from our markets at times and this
should be examined dally. This Is a
very careless mistake that our Cham
ber of Commerce has made and one
which should be mended as quickly
as possible. If you want fny fur
