Show IV hy He Changed Parties A. W. McCUNE 25 Broad street New York City September 18, 1920. Mr. John P. Howells, 1993 South West Temple St., Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear John: Replying to your question as to why I have left the Democratic party, let me take this opportunity to express my opinions. I am so completely disgusted with the Democratic administration administra-tion in Washington that I fail to see how any sane man could continue his support of such a regime. The sole aim of the Democratic party in Federal government, I in the State, the country and city seems to have been to increase taxation and burn up the money, without regard to the interests of the people. I am against Woqdrow Wilson's League of Nations. I fail to see how any real American could sanction the adoption of a policy that unquestionably leads to internationalism and the sacrifice of the constitutional consti-tutional rights of the American people. Senator Harding's idea of a . court of arbitration for the settlement of disagreements among nations meets my approval. Were it not for the reservations to Article 10 as insisted upon by the Republican senators, I am convinced that our young men would . be fighting in Poland today and our millions would be poured into the ' venture. I want to say emphatically that I am for Reed Smoot for the United States Senate. My friends and associates 1p the east all say that he has more facts an i figures at his 1 ngertips and a greater knovvl edge of governmental affairs than any other man in the senate, and furthermore, that he is the hardest worker in the senate. The nation will unquestionably send Senator Harding to the iWhlte House and with me the wish is father the thought. i For these reasons I am for the Republican ticket from top to bottom, and am asking all my friends to join me in this move. Sincerely yours, A. W. McCUNE. (Political Advertisement.) |
