United States and - that everything
Wilson did was wrong They held
up' before' the' people a roseate picture
of unsurpassed prosperity which they
as lured the voters would follow the
election of Candidate Harding They
promised- a great reduction of taxes
They promised that this country
would enter an association of nations
They made many other pledges Few
of their pledges have been kept
The Harding administration made
the United States desert her asso-
ciates in the war against Germany
and negotiated a separate peace to
the great delight of the Germans It
adopted a picayunish attitude toward
world affairs and toward the eceno-
mic troubles and suffering of war-
stricken nations It slapped the coun-
tries of the world irjjthe face with an
emergency embargo tariff which sent
the prices of farm products down-
ward and it later enacted a perma-
nent high-tariff law to please the big
inetrests — a law which not only will
do much to destroy American for-
eign trade but will add $4000000-
000 to the cost of living of the Amer-
ican people It has insisted upon the
passing of a law to tax the masses
of the American people to provide a
fund to guarantee the shipping inter-
ests a reasonable profit and plans a
special session of Congress to try to
force such a measure through
Since the last presidential election
the people of the United States have
learned the falsity of the charges
against Woodrow Wilson They have
given the republicans their chance to
make good on their promise to ad
minister the country’s affairs better
than the democrats did and they have
seen the republicans fail miserably
in that effort They have seen the
great American' republic under re-
publican domination flounder around
in domestic as well as international
affairs like a drunk man in a slough
And they have wisely decided to
make a change'
The small city of Cartersville Ga
is prolific of notables Many distin-
guished people have lived there and
although not familiar with Georgia
i traditions we recall that before Mrs
eyl ’ W H Felton was appointed to be the
candidate for senator from Indiana ’ ’
U! J I flrst woman senator Cartersville
lost to his democratic opponent
A numbeij of other instance could
be cited to show the great reversal in
public sentiment since the proiilen-
tial election In OklahoaiaTennes-
see and other states democrats who
were defeated for congress in the last
national election were elected over
their republican opponents Tuesday
It is not surprising that such has
been the result
was a distinguished town Maj Chas
H Smith better known as Bill Arp
whose weekly letters were thirty
years ago read by vast numbers of
tople lived there He was a kindly
humorist and philosipher Sam Jones
the great evangelist was long a resi-
dent of Cartersville
The country certainly wanted a
change and it looks like they' got it
The republicans conducted their Tuesday Thejountry is coming back
last presidential campaign on a basis') home so to speak There will never
of hate Never had there been so be any more Republican rule in these
much mud-slinging in any campaign United States They have made such
as the republicans indulged in at that j a miserable failure with Harding and
time They tried to make it appear i his Congress they want more of the
that Woodrow Wilson had ruined the Woodrow Wilson rule
Bob Kidd of the Poteau News
voices our sentiments hi the following
editorial He says: '
"Well fellows the election is over
and all of us have to be satisfied for
another two years jn the county and
four years in the state After we
get over our disappointments we will
all come to the conclusion that all of
us stand for the same thing in a
way We want to better conditions
for all the people and the only way
to do that is for each of us to help
the men we have elected to manage
our affairs for the coming two year
No matter how you voted it’s your
duty as a good citizen to get bchinj
the boys and help them whenever
they are right and this is just what
we propose to do personally There
are many things to be done in this
county during the next two years
We want to have the best system of
rosds in the state when we pull an-
other election — to do this we want
the co-operation of all good people
We want to change the living condi-
tions of all of our farmers who have
had bad luck for the past three years
We can all help in this and the of-
ficials we elected Tuesday can do a
great deal along this - line if they
have the backing of all the people
Let’a forget it for two years and
make this the garden spot of the
state"
It is gratifying to the many friends
of Hon Geo F Short now serving
the state as Attorney General and the
nominee for re-election is pushing a
lead over Walton Short and Sneed
will be the leader on the ticket
Short is one of the leading - young
democrats in this state and if he
makes good as Attorney General
which he will do will be the Demo-
cratic standard bearer for Governor
after Walton He would make a
good governor and the people in this
state would be glad to honor him We
hope to see him in the governor’s
chair four years hence !
The Gazette is truly glad the elec-
tions are over for two years Peo-
ple can get down to work and things
get back normal The Gazette has
been flooded with job work during
the summer but we are glad to settle
down to the regular commercial work
We have samples of our work and it
is the best line of commercial work
Call and inspect our job line stock
etc
Jack sure did clip John’s ’whis-
kers He also took the boll weevil
out of his clothing but why should I
Fields worry the small Republicans :
done the furnishing
If Walton had kept up his cam-i
paign two weeks longer he would have j
cleaned Fields 200000 votes In fact I
Field would ntft have received’
enough to count
