Here's what the gop wants us to go back to:

*******, WHOSE CARE HAS CAUSED CONTROVERSY FOR YRS.,
FOUND ILL AND HELPLESS IN HOME
******, a city charge, whose care has caused more or less
controversy between the city and the town of Rapids an (sic)
his relatives for several years past, was removed to the
hospital Saturday when the aged man was found ill and
helpless and without food in his home on South Tenth street.
*******, who is suffering from rheumatism, said that he had
been helpless for several days and that for two days he had
nothing to eat. Report was made to the Poor Commissioner
******* and ****** was ordered removed to the hospital.
For some time Brey has received $10 per month from the city
as a poor charge. He owned a farm at Rapids years ago and
later, it was sold, was unable to agree with his son while
being cared for by ********. The town board and the city
compelled the son to provide a certain amount for the father's
support.
