HANNA REAL CANDIDATE.
We need a president imbued with the
spirit OF true democracy We need a
man Ike Bryan, who stands for equal
rights, equal opportunities and equal
conditions for all. He is a thorough
American and striking representative
or hostility TO privileged favoritisn
essence of true democracy" He
believes that no nation can
endure half slave and half free
and that we cannot afford to make of
this government half republic and half
empire. 1t is almost impossible TO tell
who is running for president upon the
Republican ticket. You hear nothing
of Mckinley. He has been completely
swallowed by the greater personality of
Hanna He is the real president. In all
the papers it is Hanna and Roose-
welt. All the clamor is for Mark and
Teddy. Hanna ran the Republican ma
tonal convention Hanna. runs the cam
paign and Hanna has and will run the
president. Do YOU want him in that
nigh office? Would you vote for him
the power to rule through Mckinley
whom he has completely hypnotized
and has thoroughly dominated?
Vote for Bryan and the reforms that
he advocates. Before his term of office
is concluded he will procure an adj
vancement to the constitution which
Will allow you to vote direct for United
states senators, when you can choose
your own senators. Now the trusts
through their servants in the Iegisla-
ture, save you that trouble. If you are
competent to vote for congressman YOU
tors. Let them be elected by the people
and thus made directly responsible to
the people for their official action.
Three times has this proposed amend
ment passed the lower house of con-
greSS and each time il has been shelved
IN the senate. There are senator's in
congress who would never have been
elected II the people had been permitted
to make a choice. There would be few
er representatives of great corporations
and of aggregated wealth if the people
could vote direct. There would be more
representatives of the plain people if
they could name the men with their
ballots. The only argument advanced
against the reform is that nominating
conventions would not act any more
wisely than the legislatures act. But,
there would always be at least two men
before the people as candidates and if
one party named a man unworthy to
nil the place the other party would be
certain TO take advantage of the blum
der and name a better man. and the
people could make their choice. Bring
the control of the government as close
TO the people as you can.
SUTHERLAND'S SPELLBJNDING.
The only speaker, that 1 am aware
OF, that is discussing the tariff question
is the Republican candidate for con-
gresS. l am told that he makes the
tarin the principal theme of his dis
courses. He heard speeches upon the
tariff question sixty years ago. when
he was a boy and, having been nomi-
mated Tor congress. he thinks that ii is
the proper thing to do to discuss il in
season and out of season. Besides
While doing that he is not compelled to
glOrify the gold standard NaturalIv
he does not want to talk about the
trusts. So he talks about the tariff. 1t
does not hurt the Democratic party.
and interests him so that I do not know
