, CHANCES AND WORKMEN OF A
GREAT CITY TO BE MENTIONED
IN THE SAME BREATH
Yet this same Roosevelt, after offer.
ing such gratuitous insult to the la
boring man and farmer. poses as their
special friend and would-be idol. To
the same category belong Beveridge's
fulminations telling the people that we
are making q great mistake in setting
Cuba free, as well as Mark Hanna 8
bumptious assertion, "There are no
trnsts"
These utterances furnish a glazing
commentary on the character Of their
leaders. the futility Of their logic, the
utter hopelessness Of their cause in q
fair and open campaign. They can not
win out on fair means, 80 they take to
foul, and right here they show the
worst kind Of judgment in making
their selections, and the mistakes they
have made in this respect will prove
their ruin.
OF those who had signed the call for
this meeting, some of the most prom
inent were interviewed by represen-
tative of the Press Bureau, and while
they disclaimed any responsibility for
the speeches made there, they endorsed
the call and the resolutions adopted.
However, when any society allows such
utterances to be made and to pass with
out rebuke or protest, the public can
not do otherwise than to see in such
utterances an expression of the senti-
ments Of that society and to hold the
society and it's individual members re-
sponsible for them.
! The insolenC arrogance of such a
course can not be but condemned in the
strongest and most emphatic. terms
Is 1t any wonder that the blood Of lib
erty loving American citizens should
boil with indignation at such brutal
methods of coercion and intimidation!
If the money powers dare to come out
with such shameless, barefaced brutal
ity, to force men to vote against their
convictions, it certainly forbodes i'll for
the laboring man and the middle
classes, and everyone realizes that if
such an affront can be offered and pass
UNDECIDED, our boosted American lib
erty will soon be thing of the past
and will be swallowed up by the money
power in a rule so rapacious in its
: greed, so absolute in it's disregard of
human rights, that the rule of the Rus
sian car will seem a paternal blessing
in comparison.
The Republicans at this meeting de-
cided to wear as their emblem a yellow
bow. This is the national color of
kens memories of rapacious greed,
cruel injustice, bigotry and oppression.
The Democrats have chosen for their
emblem a miniature United States flag.
The yellow bow fttingly stands for
! dictation, coercion and intimidation.
! The flag stands for the sentiment, IA
free man and free VOTE" Let US all
! wear and display the badge Of freedom.
AS a sample of the work done in the
Democratic campaign, and the enthu-
siasm aroused, we give the following
extract from letter received at the
Democratic headquarters from St.
Cloud:
beginning Monday, we put up the
greatest campaign that the Democratic
party has ever had in this county.
Truelson and Calhoun will speak all
week, making three or four speeches q
day. All the candidates on our county
ticket will accompany the speakers.
"We have organized clubs in all the
towns, and the meetings have h"en ad-
vertised thoroughly for the past two
weeks. This is on old line Democratic
county, and the fact that there is more
interest here than ever before, argues
we'll for the Democratic cause in gen.
eral.'' -~''-~
