p —XssQCl TEE/ ” 1 VOLUME XXVI NON.R.LDOBGOTDN SAVS NEXT CONGRESS MIiBEDfICDITIC Declares People of United States Are Disgusted With the Manner of Re publican Management. FARMING INDUSTRY MUST BE RESTORED Contrasts Record of Wil-j son Administration With That of Republican Ad ministrations Following.; Predicting thnt I lie people of the i United States are disgusted with the! manner in which Republicans 'nave tried to manage things. Hon. R. 1,. Doughton, candidate for Congress from the eighth district, predicted in * an address here Tuesday night that t 11,0 "ext Congress will be a Domn eratic one. “The present administration is not a Republican one any more than it is a Democratic one—it is a pluto- 1 eratic administration,” Sir. Doughton said. Mr. Doughton was severe in his criticism of Pje Republicans for their Jack of thought and consideration for the farmer and his agricultural prob lems. "The doom of American in dustry is unmistakably written un less something is done to restore ag riculture, which is the heart of Amer ican business life,” the Democratic candidate declared. "It is useless to buHil up industry unless the farm peo ple, the backbone of American life, can buy the product of the mills. The farming industry is really Cue heart of our existence anil we are doomed unless something is done to put the farmer back on his feet.” In their 11124 platform, Mr. Dough ton said, the Republicans promised to put agriculture on even footing with industry. The failure of the Re publicans to keep this pledge,” he said, "has plunged the farmer into financial I ruin.” i Mr. Doughton lauded the highway system in North Carolina, describing 1 it as the envy of the South. He ' praised the Democratic administra tions which had carried out the pear. : gram and pointed out that Moral I - V, ministration, had been of great assist ance to the State in carrying out its i inviable program. "Already NorCa i Carolina has received 110,000,000 | from the federal government and SB,- , 500,000 more is available under ap- , propriations already made.” Mr. Doughton, who was a member of the roads committee of the House, , explained that 134,000 miles of 1m- , proved roads have been built in afl < parts of the country since the enact- j ment of the law, and predicted that , soon the 200,000 miles provided for , would be constructed. The Republicans, lie said, cared nothing about good roads. They didn’t , care whether the farmer could get , to market with his produce. , The Federal Reserve System, the Farm Loan System and the good roads . program were outlined by Mr. Dough- ' ton as three of the greatest benefits of the Wilson administrations.. The records of the part, he said, , speak for themselves. In all of the great expenditures of the war, he , said, when billions of dollars had to tie used by the Wilson administration, there was not any graft or corrup- , tion. "Even before President Wilson com- * p'eted his second term,” he said, "the Rephblicans had hundreds of expert , accountants going over the records, | Every item of expenditure was exam- ( ined. Legal exjierts were employed ( nnd every phase of the manner in which the war was conducted was ex amined. And not a penny of graft money could be found. The trouble ( was this—the Republican just took it for granted that the Democrats would be as wasteful and aa corrupt as they i were in the administration of funds r in the Spanish-American War. S "And contrast this great Democratic ' administration with the one that fol lowed, with Its Daughertys, its Falls, -I its Dohenys and its Denbys. In three years after President Wilson I went out of office about every charge in the catalogue had been lodged against Republican' government offi- : cials." There is no economy in Washing ton, Mr. Doughton said, and he said the American public had never been i more taken in than it bas been on this "economy bunk.” "Why it costa about twice as mwffi now to run the government as it did in 1916,” he said, “when all expendi- ■ tures for the war are deducted. In >1916 it cost $880,000,000 to run the government. Last year it cost $3,- i 000.000.000. Deduct all that was i spent for hospitalisation, veterans’ bureaus, enforcement of the Volstead act and other items that could not be included in the 1816 total and the result is that the expenditures this year are practically twice as murfi as they were in 1816. The cost of run ning the White House alone has grown to $493,000 a year, when under Mr. Wilson it was only $187,000.” The first cut in the taxes should have been made in 1918, when Presi dent Wilson suggested a reduction, Mr. Doughton said, but jealous Re > And their reductions did not come as a result of any economy program. They came because of over-taxation. The Concord Baely Tribune I EiO HAVANA HOMES i RUINED BY STORM 5 WHICH HITS CUBA I City of Havana Cut Off] \\ From Interior by Hurri- ! cane—.

But Senator Simmons and others Democrats fought for the masses, according to the prin ciples of the Democratic party. "Senator Simmons is going to fight for further reductions In the next Con tress and such reductions should be made. We are still paying war-time taxes and they are not necessary.

"These are first century prayers, yet we may get here a deeper view of tlie ceaseless, constant necessities of Christ's church for every day. in ev ery century, under all conditions,” said Dr. Knubel. “Paul's chief con cern ir. these prayers seems to have been for the completeness of the ehitrch, a vision of what she is to be in the afterwhile.” "The Church all too often forgets this hope, loses its ideals ami falls down to the level of earthly things. AVe grow so accus tomed to the grist of vileness in the daily paper, we are so thoroughly so phisticated as to filth in social life, corruption in political life, dishonesty in the business world, selfishness in international relations, low practices eveu in ecclesiastical circles; that we cannot conceive any longer of perfec tion as inn prospect even for the Church of Christ. Ideals have become topics for talk, but are not substance for life. Pessimism sets in and so comes the dreariness of despair. How much, therefore, we need to bear these prayers from Paul in their boldness, fearlessness and hopefulness.” Dr. Knubel Re-elected. Richmond. Oet. 20.— (/P) —Dr. F. H.
