FOUR GOOD REASONS
Why / e 'nocrats Shou ID nae Cor Il oose-
welt and Fairbanks.


First-If yon are a Democrat and do
not believe in the Republican policy
OF protection, but fayar & tariff fOT
revenue only" it is well for .yod 10 CON
template the fact that ne Democratic
tariff ever did produce enough revenue,
but thai the same tinkering which eliiHi-
NATL protC, IVA also created increasing
deficit ia the treasury. endangered the
gold reserse and with IL the parity of our
silver and paper money with gold money
and necessitated large bond issues, out
of which Wallstreet syndicases could get
a rake-on, but on which the American
people must pay the interest aud ulti-
mately the principal
The expenses Of the government are
now running close TO the revenue. and
these expenses are for such purposes as
pensioning the old %Oldirss. paying for
the Panama Canal irrigating the arid
lands and rendering useful service no
agriculture, 10 commerce and labor
through departments specially instituted
for such services There is n0 patriotic
Democrat who can desire expenditures
for such objects cut down as 10 "trip
pie the prestige and efficiency OF the
government, and hence no patriotic Dem
ocrat. however ardently he may believe
in free trade. shonld vote for a policy
which would cut down the revenues aud
pile up disastrous deficit ~ during
the last Democratic administration. Snre
the war taxes were taken off. several
years ago. there has been no safe room
FOR further reduction in the government

where 1t would lac direct burden to
taxpayers. or else money would have

ciencies IN revenue.
Second-If you are not only II Demo
crat, but a Democrat OF the Jefferson
ian" type, you should vote the Republi-
can ticket, IL only because Jefferson
himself stood for expansion IA the Re
publican party now glands. The cjrcum-
stance for which Jefferson was most
severely criticised in his lifetime. but
which furnished the leading reason why
posterity honors his memory. was his
purchase OF the Louisiana Territory,
which purchase il now being appropriate
ly COMMUNICATED BY the great expos-
ton at ST. Louis. Had Jefferson not
made the deal with France for the
Louisiana Territory. he would have
escaped much bitter criticism from the
narrow minded element of his own party
while he lived. but he would also have
lost for the United States the greatest
opportunity of history.
Third.--lf you are Democrat, but
nevertheless want to know where you
are at" you will vote for Roosevelt
and Fairbanks. because they stand for
definite principles. have the moral cour-
age to carry them out. and have behind
them the strong support of unified
party. Aud what the Republican party
says IL will do, it always does. The
present leaders of the Democratic party
seldom express themselves strongly on
any particular line of policy, but, il They
do. they usually also take the precautinl,
TO state that the Senate will continue
Republican during the next four years.

Fourth.-lf you are a Democrat. you
Swe duty to yourself, your neighbors
your families, and especially TO "thr
little ones at home" aud to your fellow
eountrymen not To vote for candidates of
your own party, when IL Is obvious as it
is new that their election would certainly

making good living. When business

as Republicans.
