PERMANENT ARMY INCREAsE.

DemocTatlc supporter of Mr.. Bryan, and
the bulk of the patriotic Democrats in
both houses voted for it,
PERMANENT ARMY INCREASE.
The president asked for an army of iOU.-

tatlyes passed the bill making the army
1VO,VOO as the president asked, and when
Ihat Republican house did 1t the treaty
had been signed with Spain and there
was not an arm raised against this ma
t1on anywhere. What was that, bill in
troduced by Senator Cockrell? 1t was a
substitute for the permanent army bin.
II was the 1)emocratic proposition which
was presented to offset the proposition
MADE by the, Republican president. /
want you to know that the vice presi-
Qenual candidate of the Republican par.
~, instead of defending the Republican
measure, making a permanent increase
Oh the army to 100000, tries to hide behind
a democratic measure which made il
only temporary increase. That bin of
senator Cockrells was supported by the
i,e,, Uem9crats o and the Populists and the Sill

an army OF 100000 permanently in ttlis

RepubEc6ns had to accept in the senate.
Put tIlat sub expires next year, and
has announced within a week that Sec,
retary Root would ask the next congress
to make the army of 1910 a permanent

party and it wins; you will have a large

These are the facts on the arn1v
question. If a Republican tries to de-
dend the army, what does he say? He
says we nave 1t because of our foreign
poncy; But there IS a domestic reason,
ana that domestic reason has it's inf1u-
ence with the heads of the great syn0f-

they want a bigger army for domestic
purposes, to preserve order and to en-
