countr Republicans Unable U rable to Agree Before speaking upon the tile issues of the campaign I 1 desire to say sa a word that may be considered personal The Republicans Republicans not able to meet

Democratic suc success success cess ess will disturb business Our contention Is that Democratic success will revive prosperity How Holy can the Republicans threaten us with a panic when a panic came amI under the present president and is still upon us In some respects it Is the most acute panic that we have had and there was less in natural conditions to Justify it That this panic still continues can an be proven In many man ways wa s First by the number of ot men out of ot em employment plo men anxious to work who are not able to find work to do An effort has hns been male mae ma e by b those securing special from the government to answer this political argument by b starting up some of f their Mills but the people can hardly be fooled tooled by such transparent tricks The Saturday Evening
