THE CRISIS IN THE HOUSE
The consideration of the appropri
ation bill in the House of Represen'
tatives presents a crisis in national
affairs. We believe that the Demo
crats will rise superior to the emer
gency that confronts them and by
their economy will convince the peo*
against the poor.
And yet this great question is ig
nored by the Third party platform
as not being worthy of considera
tion.
A hint to the wise is sufficient.

raigned for not passing the Bland
