The Sacramento bee Wnlcn mas sup
ported Bryan in two campaigns,
comes out for RooseveltEand in the
following remarkable editorial gives
its reasons. 1t should be read by
every voter in the State:
In this world, men cannot get all
they want, nor half they desire
They must have choice between
what is set before them.
And the Bee chooses Theodore
Roosevelt in preference to Alton
Brooks Parker.
Ii chooses. Roosevelt because, with
all his faults, he stands self-reliant in
his American manhood, independent,
courageous, plucky, conscientious, I'M
trammeled and unpurchaseable;
shaekled to no syndicate of corpora
tons; 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.
1t opposes Alton Brooks Parker be
cause he is not 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 graph
ophone of Wall Street, and what little
The People have heard through the
machine has Enthusiastically revealed
the Voice of His Master; because he
is to-day but the instrument which
the Trusts hope to use in disciplining
Theodore Roosevelt for daring TO
place the slightest barrier in their
way.
1t chooses Theodore Roosevelt be-
cause it considers the President should
be a man who can be dealt with d.
rectly.
1t opposes Alton Brooks Parker be-
cause it does not believe The People
of this Great Nation should select as
the President a Man Friday to any
Robinson Crusoe.
1t chooses Theodore Roosevelt be-
cause one great issue this time is the
MAN, and Roosevelt represents that
issue in all its courage and all its
Americanism.
1t opposes Alton Brooks Parker
because he is merely the automatic
representative of the MACHINE.
1t chooses Theodore Roosevelt be-
cause he stands for the rights of the
eolored race, for justice to the down.
trodden, the oppressed, the disfran-
chised.
1t opposes Alton Brooks Parker be
cause he is put forth on platform
which, cowardly evading the vital
issue in the South, not only silently
approves the rankest injustice to the
negro-an injustice that has the ad.
ditionai demerit of unconstitutionality
but adds insult to injury by de-
nominating an effort to do justice &c
the black man as IAN attempt to
kindle new racial and factional
strife"
1t chooses Theodore Roosevelt be.
cause the one great and overshadow-
ing issue in the coming campaign will
be whether the Trusts shall dominate
this country, snap their fingers at the
laws of the present, and strange
further needed legislation at its birth
or whether The People shall hold
these syndicated infamies in check
1t was on that issue the Trusts
would have defeated the nomination
ofTheodore Roosevelt if they could
1t is,on that issue they will put
money in the fight for Alton Brooks
Parker, whom they nomated and
whom they control.
Finally, The Bee chooses Theodore
Roosevelt because he is a FREE
MAN.
1t opposes Alton Brooks Parker
because he is a B0NDMAN-tied hand
and foot to Wall Street and the
Trusts.
