ALT6ELD VERSUS ROOSEVELT

Altgeld sad yellow newspapers are
trying to twist Roosevelt's speech
into q statement that all democrats.
particularly all southern democratic,
are towards. Alsgeld is not q respon-
sible authority, on any topic domestic
or foreign. Himself socialist and
anarchist sympathizer, he said of re-
cent anarchical Disturbances, "This
talk of plot to kill kings is all bosb. {"
and an empress have been killed, and
the prince of Wales and the shah of
Persia have been attacked within q
few months, and anarchists the world
over have openly rejoiced although
they veil their responsibili in q
denial: that they themselves we're
directly implicated in any of the assas-
sinations.
This Altgeld who denies lightly
that there is any plot to kill kings, now
also asserts that Roosevelt said that
southern democrats are towards. The
fact is that Roosevelt said that the
democratic platform stood for national
cowsrdice abroad.
Every expansion and gold money
democrat and every honest democrat
Whatever his prejudices knows that
the Bryan ticket, countenanced by
democracy, is q ticket of reputation,
withdrawal and avoidance of national
respo nsibilities. Every democrat Is
made vulnerable to charges of this sort
rs long as his party espouses populism
and Organism.
The new democracy is NOS the old
thought It calls itself democracy. It
Ia unfortunate for the real democrats
that their name has been shorn of it's
old dignity. Roosevelt has not said
bltter aud unjust things of tie south,
or Of the democracy. His military
honor is founded upon the courage and
honor of men of the south as well as
men OF th e north: New Workers, Colo
radoans, Arizonians, and Kentuckians,

corners of our land. Altgeld, the friend

NEWCOMERS heard sermon from

day when the Rev DR.. Brsddin Hsmil-

preach to the fashionables. He told
them that their Sunday golf playing

worked hard all week might be excus-
ed for spending Sunday in out door
sport, but that people of leisure ought
to respect the day and set a good ex-

went farther and told then that their
little gam bling games, played quietly
In elegant rooms, or on vine clad and
lowered piazzss, were breeders of
crime, and that the country would
have ten million more gamblers, from
howell to palace, because of their games,
and they would be responsible for the
degeneration. The sermon may lose
