The man who has no 30b and no money! for food, fuel, and clothing may wonder how conditions could be worse for him; he fails to realize how much worse it; would be if ALL his fellow citizens were out of work instead of merely 20 per cent of them, so that no one could pay taxes j or contribute to relief funds. The farmer who accepts loss-1 than-cost prices for his products may wonder how his plight could be any worse; we must remind him that in case of i revolution he would be subject to aimed mobs that would plunder his fields and storehouses and take what they wished without paying a cent. The man who has lost all his money J in a bank failure must be shown that were it not for the timely action of the goveniment, hardly a bank in the country would be open today, in which case business would be utterly ruined and his chances of recovering his losses; would le infinitely more distant than they are today. r j We admit that conditions are ban, but the man is a fool : who says they couldn't be worse. There arc men in office 1 who have made mistakes, but there are men out of office who would have made mistakes ton times worse, under the! same circumstances. 'Hie majority of voters will consider a man's ideas and attitudes, his words and his deeds before giving him the responsibilities of public office.
