Havings of a Voter The Republican party is bounded in the north by breadlines, on the ■as- by mergers, on the south by lovcrty end pn the west. by bank ruptcy. It is lovingly called the G. O. P."—which means—"Great 5n Promising.” Tlie Republican Party, like ah jail, is divided into 3 parts, viz lie Hoover left wing, the Wet right ving and the Corrupt middle, and s surrounded by the Democrat, ■nme&lied with Wall street. and .overned by Big Eusiness. The said party is afflicted with i Farm Board bunion, a Muscle Shoals cow-bunklc, a World Court ngrowing nail, a Moratorium earl ier, a Young-Dawes-plan kidney .tone, a Reparations high-blood i.essure, and a Tariff complex. Tlie big men of this G. O. P. or ;animation aie little men ' with a ,py glass. The little men know as veil which way to turn as do the hg men—and both types are un i.ble to advise each other. They are )lindfolded and are running around n a circle. The policy of the Republican iJu'ty is to borrow and build, bor ■ow and pay back, borrow and move orward, borrow and loan, borrow md tear down, borrow and em jloy, borrow and feed, borrow and •ai e taxes, raise taxes and borrow, sorrow and expand—all of which cads to the same end—trouble. The Republican party is like unto i baby with an all-day sucker: it tceps on sucking the stick after the sweetness is gone. It is asharn :d to cut expenses—a> the World night think it is going backwards, it squanders money on useless pio Jects—“with millions for defense out not one cent to save our banks vnd our country,” It—jneaning the said party—dic tates to the Federal Reserve bank —which was created to save the country In a crisis—but it has sav 'd only itself and a few of its friends—and the majority of the -itizenship U poverty stricken, mil Hons are without Jobs—and the balance of us folks are sitting idlv aside—watching our lifetime ac cumulations dwindle away. And the end is not yet. And it all dwindles down to the question: Why Is Poli tics? Upper Cleveland News Of Interest Several on the Sick list. Personal News of People Moving About.
