Those who hear the democratic orators thundering against corruption in the coming campaign will know that it is bunk pure and simple. They will know that had Newberry been a democrat, he would have received practically every democratic vote in the senate.
The republicans will not be out of ammunition. They will go back and ask where the billion dollars went that was spent supposedly for airplanes, and not an American plane at the front. They will ask where the three billions went to that were supposed to go into ordnance and not a big gun of American make ever at the front. They will ask who got the rake-off when thirty of forty halters were ordered for every horse in the American cavalry.
Who got the rake-off in the shipbuilding program with its cost plus 10 percent, which resulted in everyone connected with building a ship from waterboy to contractor doing all in his power to make the ship cost as much as possible with the result that a lot of wooden ships were built at a cost of three or four hundred thousand dollars each for which there was no use and never would have been and which the government is now selling at two or three thousand dollars each. There will be a lot of this sort of stuff and all the time everybody will know that a man's honesty is not determined by the political party he belongs to and that American citizens average up about alike and are not chiefly crooks fools because they happen to belong to a political party with which we do not affiliate.—Nampa Leader-Herald.
They will ask or Will Hold Initiation.
