A PLAN THAT SHOULD BE EXECUTED.
The Free Press is gratified that there is a growing sen
timent in Washington among the legislators to make spe
cial provision for the dependent families, whose bread
winners have been called to the colors and whose inade
quate and paltry compensation for their service to
their country is not sufficient to pay the average house
rent let alone to provide the larder.

with the Norfolk Southern Railroad and deprive that

DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS ASSURED.
A question very prominent in the minds of the people
of this country now should be, ami is, whether Mr. Wil
son and the Democratic aiminis&Cicm will be continued
by the people for another four years.
If the thinking people think and vote as they think,
there can be but one answer to the question. Democratic
success fa assured! There is very little difference in the
platforms of the two 'parties when essentials are consid
ered. The Democrats have achievements for the three
years of their power, unprecedented in the history of the
Nation, to support their party pledges and ' promises,
whereas the Republicans only have promises to offer.
V'e believe that the people of America have learned full
well that the Republican promises have in the past been
generally forgotten af'er election, and there is no reason
now to believe that they will be fulfilled, if power is res
tored to the plutorrntx, who so long bossed the affairs
of the Nat inn.

WOULD UNIFY THE COUNTRY.
Columbia State: "The re-election of President Wil
son and the virtual withdrawal of the Republican party
from the contest, together with the unification of the
country in respect of 'Americanism' and 'Preparedness,'
can be secured by two simple concessions by the Demo
cratic party.
"First, it would be necessary for Mr. Wilson and the
responsible leaders of his party to bind themselves to
assist in amending the Federal reserve banking law and
.vo back the Federal Reserve Board so that financial dom
ination of this Republic would be restored to Wall Street.
"Second, Mr. Wilson and the responsible leaders of
the Democratic party would be required to bind them
selves to restore the office of tariff-making to the manu
facturers of New England and Pennsylvania, to be ex
ercised by them exactly as it was in the good old times
when the late Nelson W. Aldrich was their agent clothed
with plenary powers.
"If these two concessions were made, the Republican
party could be depended upon to rally enthusiastically to
the support of the Wilson policies in respect of Ger
many and Mexico, whatever they may, in future, be.
"Of course, the first of the concessions would include
such details as the throwing overboard of John Skelton
Williams and Josephus Daniels, the one having been per
niciously active in preventing banks from exacting usur
ious rates and the other having interfered with the prof
its of contractors hitherto permitted to prey on the peo-
