vigorously, as In tho past. but how Far
ker and his party will deal with the
trusts NO one knows. Roosevelt stands
clearly on his record as to truse abuses.
When the Northern Securities was violat-

Roosevelt and his party have always
heen constitutional. Parker and his par.
y make .constitutionahsm' n mask for
a lack of aggrcssivencss and an excuse
for failure to meet public questions In

to meet the charges of Impeachment.
But not once has the widest Democrat

does It in prompt and decisive man

Open, Honest, Frank.
"As for honesty, no living man can
charge Roosevelt with dcceitfulness, and
nobody fails to know what he Is driving
nt. Parker mny not be deceitful, but he
takes a longer time to show himself open
and aboveboard. Before his nomination.
he was famous for not opening his mouth
OIL gold. Nobody knew anything Of his
attitude except that he had twice voted
for Bryan. He got his nomination be-
cause of that golden silence. After half
OF the convention had gone home he
sent his famous telegram.

Clews. II think 1t pretty clear that it
will be safer for the country to vote for
Roosevelt and the Republican nominees
for Congress than to vote for Parker
and his Congressional nominees. In
