"'IIP (Sifh â- â- -«â- 'â-  l-il§; fell flS ¥®R & m- Either Wm. H. Taft or Woodrow Wilson will be President of the United States the next four years; but neither Tar1: nor Wilson will govern the United States. That all-important func- ttoTwill be performed by the Republican or the Democratic party. The present house of representatives is controlled by the Democratic party. If Mr. WiisA is elected **â„¢"™«eâ„¢s will be controlled by the Den/cratic party. The Democratic party will enact the laws rep/rted by Democratic committees and approved by the Democratic caucus. Who dominates the Democratic committees? Look at this list of committee chairmen: ' Ways and Means (which frames all tariff laws), Oscar Un- derwood, of Alabama; Banking and Currency, Arseno P. Pujo, of Louisiana; Insular Affairs, William A. Jones, of Virginia; Interstate and Foreign Commerce, William C. Adamson, of Georgia; Judiciary, Henry D. Clayton, of Atebamai Merchant Marine and Fisheries, J. W. Alexander, of Misswrlv Military Affairs, James Hay, of Virginia; Naval Affairs, L. P. Padgett, of Tennessee; Post Office and Post Roads, John A. Moon, of jFenj 4 nesfee; Public Buildings and Grounds, Morris Sheppard, of Texas; Public Lands, Joseph T. Robinson, of Arkansas; Rivers and Harbors, S. M. Sparkman, of Florida; Rules, Robert L. Henry, of Texas. Every important committee, as this list shows; is a representative from a southern state. Of the 2^9 1 the Democratic caucus, 125 are from southern states moment arid consider the significance of. that fact. INDUSTRIES. * Telephones, etc. ... Metallic bedsteads .

The Democratic majority in $he J******; congress passed three tariff revision billsâ€"^the Cotton BUI, the Wool Bill, and the so-called Farmery Free list Billâ€"which they proudly boasted were drawn upon a strictly revenue basis.
