The Democrats were IN power four
years before McIiinleys election The
samc law existed then under which this
great trust cise was tried, yet
the Democrats never made an
EFFORT 10 enforce that law When
Mckinley went IN Office he had the
Spanish war 70 contend with and took
AAle action against trusts, but no SOON
q was Theodore Roosevelt Installed In
office than prompt action w taken ana
now when President Roosevelt has ac-
tually choked he HE out Of the biggest
and most dangerous trust IN the coun-
Try the Democrats say that ~ all TOR
campaign purposes The pre-. dent
has won his first big trust case and
now the Republican party Is after the
beef trust President Roosevelt says ne
,an's to know why tAe price OF q live
steer IS getugg cheaper while the price
of the butchered steer grows higher,
and ne Is snlng TO ind vnt TOO. and
when no doe, there win he another ait
and another trust choked to death, but
II seems that President RoOsevelts
trust policy Us also too fast for the
Democrats. Already eastern Democrat
papers have Gnroguctd that II Is well
for the president 10 slow IN his as
ault upon Il SO s'est ~ mess enter
uriscs, lest he thrus a 01nc upon the
country. There you are. II Teddy Is
fast the Democrats wart him 20 20
SOW II ne Is SLOW they want hiih 20 10
fast. Did you ever see such disgrun-
Med dissatisfied. unpleasable belly.ach-
ING lot Of people as the Democratic pol
lticians Of today? They remind me OF
q dog who had been bowling all one
evening and the master said 10 his ne
gro servant "Sambo give that dog some
water, SO he viii stop bowling The
negro replied. "MasEa. wattah won't
satisfy that air dog-he am hungry ami
he smells that chicken pie Melinda am
cooking in ,he kitchen and he won't
stop bowling until he gets some Of it.
Now that Is Just the trouble with our
Democratic friends, They are bowling
and they are hungry for political pie.
They have smelled the pie In the shape
Of good offices the Republicans have
been dealing out and these Democrats
are going to continue to howl until they
get some OF that pie and fear that
they VIII continue TO howl. because the
Republicans are going TO keep the pie.
The smell OF the pie IL all the American
people will grant them.
poSTOFFICE SCANDAL.
Lately the Democrats have been howl
ing about the postofice robberles. They
faru.l hamauap tAat IBxactIant
Roosevelt who started the Investigation
soon after he took the oath of office,
and IL was ne that discovered the
frauds and that II was discovered that
the great original thief In the postoiiice
department was appointed by Grover
Cleveland, who hello over under Nc
KInley's administration and was
promptly arrested by President RoOse-
welt, tried AID convicted. The Demo-
cratic Consressmen demanded a con.
gressional investigation OF the post
Office department. They feared lest the
president should allow some gdilt, Re
publican 10 escape. The investigation
was granted and 10 and behold the
committee reported that the Democra-
tic congressman had Joined the others
IN putting their fingers ir the public
treasury and what a howl went up from
our Democratic congressmen--they said
the committee was not apyoin.;d to IN
yesiinat Congress, but the p0stOfice
department The committee replied that
II was In the postoiIice apartment that
they found the congressman doing bnsi-
mesa.
do not deny that duriis ipanlsh
war some Of the Republicans as well as
the Democrats did some stealing IN 'hr
postoiflce department but | do clt.d
that our fearless president was great
enough 10 publish wrong doing even
when done by members % his oy y
party and that Is why the American
people respect and honor Theodore
Roosevelt.
The most foolish criticism / have
heard the Democrats make was that
they feared President Roosevelt would
lead them into war, because he was not
afraid to fight. What do they want In
the White House? A coward? l love
Theodore Roosevelt. because | know
that anybody who tries TO run over him
while he Is president OF the United
States IL going to get whipped, That IL
why the American people like him,
Suppose the British or French minister
should try to knock chip of 'Teddy's'
shoulder and he should fan to resent ",
the Democrats wop'd say that ne had
no nerve and because he would resent
t. they say he has too much nerve.
ROOSEVELT A FIGHTER
Theodore Roosevelt has m the
Wild cat, the mOur tain ',on, the bear
and the buffalo, the lnd.2n and the
western cowboy, the Spaniards on the
field Of battle the millionaire trust and
the Democrats and has whipped them
all and what is more, he Is prepared
20 do IL again. After having disposed
of everything In sight, who Is there
left to start fight WITH II surely
uoes no harm for the governments OF
this world to know that there Is a man
in the White House chair who would
insist upon the American citizens and
our flag being protected wherever tfey
may be found. In fact, ] believe G
American citizens are safer abroad
since 1t Is discovered that we have a
man I'm the White House chair who Ia
not afraid TO fight In preference to dis.
grace, dishonor and humiliation, We
trusted Teddy as COWBOY az mem.
her OF the legislature In New York, as
Il ciyll service commissioner as sec.
rotary OF the navy, MS a soldier on the
battle field as governor Of the great
state of New York az vice president
of this nation and as president Of the
greatest government on earth, And
during all his great career he has
never once made a mistake. surely
n man who can pass through n record
Ike that IL not going TO make any
mistakes when he has reached the
highest round Of Che ladder When his
greatest ambition is 10 pass through
his final and great career with honor
and credit to himself. We think Theo.
dore Roosevelt Is a safe man In the
presidents chair and we are going to
enter him IN the race for four years
