THE SACRAMENTO BEE.


Lessons for Supporting Roosevelt.
he Sacramento Daily Bee, hereto
\ the leading California Democratic
ly, has thrown up 81 the Democratic
nge and will support the Republican
get. giving the following reasons;
The Bee can say for Theodore Roose-
chat the trusts do not want him,
lie they do want Parker.
And it can say Of the Republican
tform that whenever there was any
ng to be said on any public issue, 1t
d it. 1t did not hesitate and STAN
r and stutter and finally put out a
g farrago of words, saying much and
aiming Detiiing; nor did it smother the
estion altogether, on the ground that
ire were no votes to be got by injuring
ybody's feelings on either side.
THE Republican platform stands out
the open and says; Here l am. You
/ either take me or leave me-
'The Democratic platform darts out
sakingly like a Chatham street Sec
d-hand clothing dealer, appealing to
CHI voter: My opinions are just the
ne as yours. Vot are yours? !? Come
L l.
rfectly fit you. [ can fit any man Of
size.
"In this world men cannot get all they
mt, nor half they desire. They must
Ike a choice between what is set be-
e them.
And the Bee chooses Theodore Roose-
t in preference to Alton Brooks
rker.
TT chooses Roosevelt because, with
his faults, he stands self-reliant in
American manhood independent,
rageous, plucky, conscientious, I'M
mmeled and unpurchasable, shackled
no syndicate Of corporations; the
all Of no criminal coterie waxing fat
IN illegal profits; the automatic
uthpiece of no predatory monetary
lbination evading just laws now on
statute books and numbering honest
lsures in the womb of legislation.
1t opposes Alton Brooks Parker be-
Sc he is not a free agent; because
is but as clay in the hands Of the
.er, and that potter August Belmont;
ause he is merely the graphophone
Wall street. and what little The Peo-
have heard through the machine has
istakably revealed the Voice of His
;ter; because he is to-day but the
rument which the Trusts hope to use
disciplining Theodore Roosevelt for
ng to place the slightest barrier in
way.
It chooses Theodore Roosevelt be-
SO it considers the President should
man who can be dealt with directly.
It opposes Alton Brooks Parker be
Sc it does not believe the people of
great nation should select SIS Pres
It a Man Friday to a Robinson
soc.
1t chooses Theodore Roosevelt be-
Sc one great issue this time is the
a, and Roosevelt represents that in
its courage and all its Americanism.
TT opposes Alton Brooks Parker be-
Use he is merely the automatic repre-
tative of the machine.
1T chooses Theodore Roosevelt be-
Use he stands for the rights of the
ored race, for justice to the down
"dden, the oppressed, the disfranchised.
1T opposes Alton Brooks Parker be-
use he Is put lOIIH Oh a pIdl1OCin

Justice that has the additional demerit
unconstitutionality- adds insult
injury by deneminating an effort to
Justice to the black man as an at
npt to kindle anew radical and fac
NAL strife.
at chooses Theodore Roosevelt be-
use the one great and overshadowing
sue in this campaign will be whether
e trusts shall dominate this country,
ap their fingers at the laws Of the
esent, and strange further needed leg
alton at it's birth, or whether the peo-
shall hold these syndicated infamies
check.
ct was on that issue the trusts would
We defeated the nomination Of Theo-
re Roosevelt if they could
'It is on that basis they will put
oney in the fight for Alton Brooks
arker, whom they nominated and whom
ely control
FINALLY, the Bee chooses Theodore
oosevef because he is a free man.
1T opposes Alton Brooks Parker be-
use he is a bondman-tied hand and
