Reasons Why You Should Vote For Hughes and Fairbmks Nov. 7
WHO "KEPT US OUT OF
WAR"
WHO "KEPT VS OVT OF WAR"?
Ans. William Howard Taft, Republican,
President of the United States from
1309 to 1913.
WHO "KEPT US OIT OF WAR"?
Ans. Theodore Roosevelt, Republican,
President of the United States from
1901 to 1909.
WHO "KEPT US OUT OF WAR"?
Ans. Not Wm. McKinley, Republican,
President of the United States from
1897 to 1901. It was under his ad
ministration that the American people
freed poor, downtrodden Cuba from
the cruel yoke of Spain. We went in
to Cuba in the name of humanity, and
added another free government to
civilization and the world. Who is
there now who will say that we should
have stayed out of Cuba and "kept out
of war"? Let the craven answer.
WHO "KEPT US OUT OF WAR"?
Ans. Grover Cleveland, Democrat, Pres
ident of the United States from 1885
to 1889 and from 1893 to 1897. His
sturdy Americanism and his insistence
that American citizens the world over
would have the full protection of this
Government prevented gross indignit
ies being offered us which would have
left no alternative but war.
WHO "KEPT US OUT OF WAR"?
Ans. Benjamin Harrison, Republican,
President of the United States from
1889 to 1893.
WHO "KEPT US OUT OF WAR"?
Ans. James A. Garfield and Chester A.
Arthur, Republicans, Presidents of the
. United States from 1881 to 1885.
WHO "KEPT US OUT OF WAR"?
Ans. Rutherford B. Hayes, Republican,
President of the United States from
1887 to 1981.
WHO "KEPT US OUT OF WAR"?
Ans. Ulysses S. Grant, Republican, Pres
ident of the United States from 186
to 1877. Although he had as great
a part as anyone, except Lincoln, in
putting down the Rebellion, and was
one of the worm's greatest military
strategist, he was the man who, after
victory, begged his countrymen to
"Let us have peace."
WHO "KEPT US OUT OF WAR"?
Ans. Not Abraham Lincoln, Republican,
President of the United States from
1861 to 1865. In his first inaugural
address, he pleaded with those who
were bent upon destroying this na
tion, "Though passion may have
strained it must not break our bonds
of affection." But the die was then
cast. Seven States had already served
notice that they had seceded from .the
Union. Lincoln's choice was between
a dissolution of the Union and a Civil
war. Lincoln saved the Union and
struck the shackles from four million
human beings. Who will not say that
Lincoln should have "kept us out of
war"? Let the craven answer.
WHO "HAS KEPT UB OUT OF WAR"?
Ans. Every President of the United Sta
tes for seventy years except Lincoln
and McKinley, and all with honor.
HAS MR. WILSON "KEPT US OUT OF
WAR"?
Ans. On April 20, 1914. by his direction,
our navy shelled and captured Vera
Cruz, the principal seaport of Mexico.
NINETEEN AMERICAN MARINES
WERE KILLED AND SEVENTY
WOUNDED. The Mexican loss was
126 killed and 195 wounded.
At the battle of Carrizal, Mexico,
between our troops and those of Car
ranza, 23 American soldiers were kill
ed and many wounded; Mexican loss
unknown.
We are now threatened with inva
sion. President Wilson refuses to re
call the militia from Texas. WHY?
This is his answer to Governor Whit
man of New York, who urged him to
let the men come back to vote. Said
the President:
"The militia have been used and
are being used to repel Invasion and
are rendering service of the high
est quality and most urgently need
ed character to their country."
If this is Peace, then should the
name of Woodrow Wilson be added to
the list of those who have "kept us
out of war," but at a sacrifice of na
tional honor?
There is no merit in the Wilson plea that
he has kept us out of war. As a campaign
slogan it is an attempt to secure votes un
der false pretenses the bold operation of
a political confidence game.
LET US THEN LEARN THIS LESSON:
The Republican party has shown by its past
achievements that it is the most capable of
meeting the crises of government . It is tin
party of peace, progress, patriotism, pros
perity and protection.
V
A vote for Hughes is a vote for per
manent prosperity;
A vote for Hughes will make the name
"American Citizen" something to be
revered instead of an idle euphonism
The United States is approaching the great
est Industrial crisis in its history
What will the laboring man do after the war?
Will he be forced to compete with the cheap la
bor of Europe or will he be protected from for
eign competition?
A Vote For Hughes
leais PROTECT!
For the Laborer;
For Our Produce;
For Our Industries
Read what great newspapers and prominent peo-
question.
ONLY
"Industrial Preparedness" can save na
tion from depression, is asserted
by Portland Telegram
To prepare for tlie approaching industrial storm we need strong men at the head of
the government.
Four years more of the Democratic tariff, lack of preparation, vacillation, and section
al legislation will bring disaster. Now is the time to avert it.
Those who want the country to regain the high place she once held; those who want an
administration strong at home and respected abroad, one fair alike to labor and
capital and one which will protect American industries throughout the land,
should help the Republican party to win.

HUGHES
MANY FORGOTTEN
TARIFF PROMISES
Underwood Bill Has Failed In Every Particular.
COLD FACTS SHOW DEMOCRATIC LOW
TARIFF POLICY DOES NOT WORK.
Did Not Reduce Cost of Living, Increase
Foreign Business, Safeguard Industry or
Collect Revenue.
When the Underwood tariff law was sign
ed, Mr. Underwood, In a published inter
view at Washington, said:
"This bill will do four things:
"First, it will reduce the cost of living.
"Second, it will not disturb the business
of the country.
"Third, it will increase our foreign trade.
"Fourth, it will collect revenues suffl.
clent to run the government."
Not one of these promises has been ful
filled. The cost of living instead of going
down, has gone up. From October 4, 1913,
the Underwood law ran and was glorified
until August 1, 1914, when half the world
springing Into arms revolutionized the eco
nomic condition of the entire globe.
In those 10 mouths, and with the Under
wood law in operation, the rate of duty was
about 13.62 per cent, and Imports Increased
above the previous corresponding period by
$101,977,779, and exports sank by $158,
888,363. The phophecy of an Increased foreign
trade Is nullified by the figures showing
that up to the beginning of tha Europran
war, notwithstanding the large increase In
Imports, the net shrinkage In volume of
foreign business was $56,910,564.
The last prophecy was that the Under
wood bill would collect revenues sufficient
to run the government.
It was to that bill, as signed by the Pres
ident on the evening of October 3, 1913,
that the Democracy pinned its faith. It
was of that bill that Senator Simmons said
on June 10, 1914:
"There will be no change In the present
tariff during this administration."
"It was of that bill that Representative
Underwood said on the same day:
"If Congress should attempt to change
the tariff provisions relating to sugar, or
any other Item In the present tariff law,
President Wilson would veto the measure
In whatever form It might appear. I talked
with the President today."'
It was of that bill that Secretary Red
field said on the same day:
"The Jjfess of the country could do no
greater service than to emphasize the fact
that there will be no change In any feature
of the tariff laws while President Wilson Is
in office. I talked with the President to
day." It was of that bill that President Wilson
said on December 8, 1915:
"The Underwood-Simmons Act Is not in
the slightest degree a failure."
In the year 1915 customs revenues fell
$109,104,723 below those of 1913, and a
renewal of the war-revenue act was made.
The committee said In their report:
"This act was enacted as an emergency
measure to cover the reductions of revenue,
due mainly to the loss of customs receipts
caused by the disturbing conditions result
ing from the war In Europe."
For the year ending July, 1916, the cus
toms receipts fell off as compared with 1913
to the amount of $107,025,174. This makes
for the fiscal years of 1914, 1915 and 1916,
a total loss of customs revenue of $242,
701,278, and yet during these years there
has, been a total Increase of Importations
above 1913 by the sum of $330,023,276.
