Joe Thompson's Coyle Speech

Editor State Journal:
As I have heretofore acted as
correspondent for The State
Journal, as such allow me to
give you a report of a political
speech which I feel sure will be
of some interest to many of your
readers. The speech referred to
was made at Coyle on July 9 by

your readers will understand it
as a backward move by the dem-
ocrats. We have figured on this
democratic conundrum some and
our result is about the same as
set forth by Mr. Thompson's il-
lustration. Here the speaker
flew the narrow and thorny path
of democracy and landed with a
telling force on the slippery but
simple path of socialism. In his
estimation the burning issue with
the people at this time is a more
equal distribution of the wealth
they produce. From extracts
from books and congressional
letters, he showed that the peo-
ple as a whole paid for one-half
of the concrete sidewalks and
one-half the cost of construction
of the school houses in Washing-
ton, D. C.; one-half of all the
lead pencils used in the schools
there; one-half the expense for
medical services in the schools;
of taxation and our outlawed
legal rate of interest, together
with the discouragements and
hardships caused by a six-year
drouth period, were apparently
