FOR ROOSEVELT
A California Democratic News
paper Bolts Parker
The Daily Bee, the leading demo-
cratic newspaper of Sacramento, Cali
fornia, announces that it will not sup
port the democratic candidate for
president It indorses the republican
candidate and platform in the follow
in editorial:
ssThe Bee a say of Theodore
Roosevelt that the Trusts do not want
him while they do want Parker.
"And 1t can say of the republican
platform that whenever there was any
thing to be said on any public issue, it
said it. 1t did not hesitate, and stam-
mer and sputter and finally put out q
long farragO of words, saying much
and meaning nothing; nor did il
smother the question altogether, on the
ground there were no votes to be
got by injuring anybody's feelings on
either side.
"The republican platform stands out
in the open and says: Here l am.
You q either take me or leave me-
1.-THE democratic platform darts out
sneakingly like q Chatham Street
secondhand clothing dealer, appealing
to each voter: My opinions are just
the same as yours. Vot are yours?
Come in and I'll show you q coat that
will perfectly fit you. / q fit any
man of any size.'
SIN this world, men cannot get all
they want, nor half they desire. They
must make Q choice between what is
Get before them.
"And the Bee chooses Theodore
Roosevelt in preference to Alton
Brooks Parker.
"It chooses Roosevelt because, with
all his faults, he stands self-reliant in
his American manhood, independent,
courageous, plucky, conscientious, un-
trammeled and unpurchaseable:
shackled to no syndicate or corpora
ton; the thrall of no criminal coterie
waxing fat upon illegal profits; the
automatic mouthpiece of no predatory
monetary combination evading just
laws now on the statute books and
numbering honest measures in the
womb of legislation.
sit opposes Alton Brooks Parker
because he is not a free agent; because
he is but as clay in the hands of the
potter, and that potter August Bel
mont; because he is merely the graphic
phone of Wall street, and what little
the people have heard through the
machine has Enthusiastically revealed
the voice of his master; because he is
today but the instrument which the
trusts hope to use in disciplining
Theodore Roosevelt for daring to
place the slightest barrier in their
way.
cit chooses Theodore Roosevelt be-
cause it considers the president should
be q man who can be dealt with di-
rectly.
cit opposes Alton Brooks Parker
because it does not believe the people
of this great nation should select as
president a man Friday to any Robin
son Crusoe.
tIt chooses Theodore Roosevelt be-
cause one great issue this time is the
man, and Roosevelt represents that in
all its courage and all its American
ism.
TT opposes Alton Brooks Parker
because he is merely the automatic
representative of the machine.
ssIt chooses Theodore Roosevelt be-
cause he stands for the rights of the
colored race, for justice to the down
trOdden, the oppressed, the disfran-
chised.
ssIt opposes Alton Brooks Parker
because he is put fourth, on q platform
which, cowardy evading the vital is
sue in the South. not only silently ap-
the rankest injustice to the
negrO-an injustice that has the addi-
tiOnal demerit of unconstitutiOnality-
but adds insult to injury by denomi-
mating an effort to do justice to the
black man as an attempt to kindle
anew racial and factional strife
SIT chooses Theodore Roosevelt be-
cause the one great and Overshadowing
issue in the coming campaign will be
whether the trusts shall dominate this
country, snap their fingers at the laws
of the present, and strangle further
needed legislation at it's birth, or
whether the people shall hold these
syndicated infamies in check.
ut was on that issue the trusts
would have defeated the nOmin alton
of Theodore Roosevelt if they could.
ut is on that basis they will put
money in the fight for Alton Brooks
Parker, whom they nominated and
whom they control.

Roosevelt because he is a free man.
ut opposes Alton Brooks Parker
because he is a bondman-tied hand
and foot to Wall street and the
trusts"
