Is Still Gold Democrat but Opposed to
Present National Administration.
Des Moines, Oct. 31.-Colonel j. H.
Mozambique of Mason City, who was
conspicuous four years ago In the gold
democratic movement, has written a
letter in which he declares for Bryan.
Colonel McConlogue, with Judge Gig
gett and j. e. Il. Markley, made Mason
City a stronghold of sound money dem
socratic sentiment. He has not changed
his opinions With respect to the money
question, but says he is convinced that
any possible evil that might come with
Bryan is more than overbalanced by
the evils which would come from the
administration colonial, pro-trust and
tariff policy Colonel Mozambique says:
TO my mind it is clear the contest
between the two dominant parties will
decide ultimately the fate of the re-
public. IT the present administration is
| Endorsed by the people; If the people
say that trusts and combines shall and
may continue; il the people say that
wealth shall measure mems quaifica-
tions for public office; If the people
say, by their vote this fall that exorbi-
tant taxation shall continue; If the
people say that large standing armies
shall be recognized, then sooner or
later the death knell of the republic
will be sounded. If, on the other hand
the people rise in their might and say
in unmistakable tones, through the
ballot box, that we believe in the prin-
ciples of the fathers of the republic;
we believe that every race, separated
| from our nation, should have the right
/ to decide for themselves how they Shall
/, be governed; that the rich shall not
trampe underfoot the poor, or the
Str nv LA 1a f1e,,
| fury will see an effort to inaugurate a
policy of conquest; policy of burden
some taxation; policy of enabling the
/ trusts and combines to shape legisla-
! ton and control the machinery Of the
4 government against the interests of the
I people.
The American soldier who once
stood for liberty and in defense of free
dom is now forced by his government
to stand as a menace to the advance
ment of human liberty. The stars and
stripes. which has been recognized the
world over as the emblem Of freedom,
is now used as an advertising medium
for the administration, which rejects
everything that tends to the advance
ment of universal freedom.
To the off1ceholders and political
mountebanks of the party, who are
going up and down the country cry
I ing, Never pun down the flag, would
say. Yes pull 1T down from the place
1T now occupies in the Philippines, for
there 1t represents bloodshed, devasta-
ton of homes and the prevention Of
human liberty Pull it down, in the
cause of common humanity, so that not
another musket in the hands of a
would-be freeman shall be directed at
a single star that rests upon Its brill
liant folds. Yes, pull 1T down. rather
than 1T should cause another sad heart,
or that it should continue to float over
desecrated homes, or make unhappy
the inhabitants of one castle or one
hut of those who once looked upon us
as their Friends"
