a great man. These people followed
Bryan through two campaigns and
they could not have done that with
out believing him an honest advocate
of the policies he represented. They
cannot now believe Mr.. Bryan an
honest advocate of those policies and
at the same time an honest advocate
of the cause of Judge Parker whose
nomination meant the overthrow of
those policies as Democratic doctrin.
Mr.. Bryan's friends have right to
distinguish between his expressions
as the leader of his party and his ex-
pressions as a man who has been
turned down and compelled to sup
port an unworthy candidate or get
out of his party.
The great majority of Bryan's old
followers will no doubt exercise this
right and take their choice of his ex-
pressions. They believed him when
he said that Judge Parker was I'M

WHY ROOSEVELT?

Because when Mckinley was strick
en- down, he stepped into the breach
and has gallantly held the fort since.
Because the promise he then made
to carry out the policies of his fallen
chief, has been faithfully kept.
Because he has filled, honorably and
ably, each one of the many offices of
public trust, for which he has been
chosen from time to time.
Because his yea is yea, and his nay
is nay when problems arise for solu-
ton.
Because he has convictions and the
courage of his convictions.
Because he is not the tool, and can
not be made the tool of any set of
designing politicians,
Because he knows what to do, when
to do it, and does it.
Because when the crisis of the Span
ish war was upon us he sacrificed his
personal comfort and rushed to the
firing line.
Because he is kind neighbor and
a faithful friend.
Because he meets every emergency
without tlinching or hesitating.
Because his first thought is for his
country, his country's needs, and lis
country s honor.
Because, as president, he has to his
credit, among other things, the set
Element of the coal strike, the Ameri-
can Panama canal, the revival of the
Hague tribunal, the prosecution of the

DID PARKER FORGET THE TARIFF
OF 1894?

Thecarefulreader of Judge Parker's
recent speech on the tariff, which was
simply a condensation of Professor
Taussig's tariff history of the United
States, fails to find any allusion what
ever to most interesting and impor-
tant tariff law which was enacted
during the memory of every living
voter. How interesting reading it
would have made had Judge Parker
called up the Wilson, German tariff of
1894, which his friend Cleveland re-
fused to sign because it was a meas
ure of pertidy and dishonor." How
interesting Judge Parker might have
made the paper had he insisted that
that those who prepared it for him
attempt defense of the workings of
that tariff which brought such ruin
and misery to our industries and our
people.
There is yet time for Judge Parker
in his speeches during these closing
days of the campaign to tell the Amer
lean people if he would advocate a re-
turn to such conditions as those under
which we lived during those trying
days from 1898 to 1897. There is vet
time for him to tell us if he should
prefer that we should import during
period of two or three years 800, 000,-
0G0 pounds of wool instead of growing
that wool in our own States. There
is time to tell us if he should like to
throw out of employment the three
millions of men who were idle during
those years, and to put on half pay
three million more, thereby reducing
the puschasing power of our people
to the extent of from five to ten bill
ions of dollars. 1t would interest us
to know how, when it became jneces-
sary for Judge Parker to issue bonds,
as it seems to have been necessary for
James Buchanan and for Grover
Cleveland, to tell us in what way and
by what method these bonds would
be issued in order that we might an
t,cipate their sale. Mr.. Cleveland has
most fittingly compared Mr.. Parker
to Mr.. Buchanan, and as the reign of
Buchanan is remembered only for the
poverty and bankruptcy which &C
companied tive should we'll like to
know what Judge Parker is going to
do when his party puts on our stat
ute books free trade law such as the
tariff of 81 or the tariff of '94 to avoid
a repetition of the conditions of COM
merce and finance under those tariffs.
The American people are extremely
are extremely interested in Judge
Parker's views, and here is a subject
which has not yet been touched upon
by him, but will bear considerable
elaboration.

WHY STANDARD OIL
BLACKLlSTED ROOSEVELT.

LEGISLATION. OUR
MR.. -, WILL SEE

nTOHN n POrK EETTEp

The foregoing telegram was receiv-
ed on February :, 1908, by six United
States Senators. The occasion for the
kilograms was the antitrust legisla-
ton which had passed the House, and
in the early days of February, 1908,
was pending in the Senate. The feat
ure of this legislation which especial
lv distressed Mr.. Rockefeller was that
enforcing publicity on great inter
state corporations.
One of the six Senators to whom
the telegram was sent was Senator
Lodge, of Massachusetts. He told the
President. The matter Immediately
became public. When the kilograms
became public the passage of the
pending antitrust legislation became
inevitable. On February IA all three
features of Rooseyelt's antitrust pro-
gramme were enacted into law. The
three laws were against railroad re-
bates, for publicity and for the ex-
petition of antitrust litigation.
The inference that Standard Oil is
for Parker rests upon several distinct
bits of evidence, says the Chicago
Tribune.
