rIcKinIey's Suplne Acqulescence
to Mandates Of Trust Magnates
Disgusts the People.

Democratic newspaper Will say
that he has a great chance, whether
he really thinks so or not That IS
his business.
Upon this occasion we will men,
tion some classes of people whom
we believe will vote for Bryan this
year. If you doubt it ask some Of
them.
Ask the drummer who he will
vote for. A vast number of them
have lost their positions because of
combinations which permit of one
travelling man doing the work of
several.
Mckinley prosperity has hurt
them.
He will tell you that he voted for
Mckinley four years ago. He is
going to vote for Bryan this year.
He can tell you why, too He can
talk. The same brain and tongue
that make him good drummer
make him a good Bryan worker
The drummer is not only going to
vote for Bryan. That is not his
speed. He is going to work for him.
He is scattered all through this big
country and be will come pretty
near equaling the Mckinley cam
paign orators in number.
The drummer is going to be quite
factor in the campaign this fall.
Ask the man who keeps the cigar
store who he is going to vote for. He
voted FOR Mckinley last year.
He is going to vote for Bryan. He
has to buy his goods from the to-
bacco trust. He can't make any
money. The trust gobbles the prof
its of the business.
The cigar stand is a great place
for political discussion. Men con-
gregate there and talk about men,
conditions and issues. The keeper
of the store is looked up to as man
pretty well posted. He has much
influence in. the discussions. His
views of Bryan and trusts are GER
tain TO set his friends thinking.
Ask the grocer who he is going
to vote for. Or the man who keeps
the little hardware store. Ask any
of the store keepers who are pinch
ed by the trust.
You will find that very few of
them intend to vote against Mr.
Bryan.
The small dealer who was driven
out of business by the gobbling
trusts, or who is so squeezed by
the rapacious monstrosities that he
makes but scanty living will tell
you that he is going to vote ag ainst
Mr.. Mckinley.
Ask any of the men who have
been thrown out Of employment by
the trusts who they are going to
vote for.
They are going to vote for Bryan.
They will tell you that they are
very sorry that they voted for Nc
Kinley four years ago.
The extr aordinary growth and
boldness of the trusts during the
past four years will make those in
iured and affected vote for relief.
These gigantic combinations have
gulped up the small dealer; thrown
vast numbers of people out of en-
ployment, and the majority of them
are bleeding the people.
When man is in danger he seeks
safety; ard when he is suffering he
wants rchet.
Mr.. Mckinley has had chance
TO save and relieve the people from
dangerous and criminal trusts, but
be has failed to do so.
His Administrations has been a
trust incubator. 1t has been most
prolific of greed and criminal com
binations. 1t has hatched out all
kinds Of capltalistic schemes tc
bleed the people.
The man to appeal to is Bryan.
! All the trusts are opposed to him,
! They will use all their power to de
feat him
That fact is one of the best things
that can be said in favor of Mr.
! Bryan
The trusts are against Mr..
! Bryan
One of The worst things that can
/ be shown against Mckinley is the
trusts will support him for re-elec-
ton
The trusts are for Mr. Mckinley.
And the trusts are only one issue
