Resolutions.
We reaf1irm our belief in the prin
ciples of the democratic party and w
express our choice for a candidate o
the party for the high Office of presi
dent of the United States.
/ We believe the great issue of thi
year to be the trust question. We be
lieve the issue to be only anothe
phase of that great question of ever
campaign in a free government, "Sha
the people be served without any dis
elimination or shall the Spectators i
government and in legislation retail
their special privileges
No matter under what guise thi
issue may arise, it is always the sam,
At one time it may be the protecte
baron demanding his higher and We
higher tariff; at another the specula
tive banker seeking to control tn
great tool of commerce and of trad
, the money of his country; or, again
, may be, as it appears it will at pres
ent, the trust promoter demandin
laws under which he may draw none
from water and attract to his ow
pocket the savings of the people of tt
country.
We believe also that in each cam
paign the immediate question pressir
( for solution develops man, who /
reason of past record and well-knoW
, position, more than any other is tt
: logical candidate for that time.
We believe that the present is no e.
: ception to the rule. We believe that
: this time, when the issue is the tru
! issue. the monopoly issue, whether
few great princes of commerce ar
j, finance shall through special privile;
in government make all men their trit
utaries, candidate who is the vel
/, embodiment Of the issue has come TO
ward.
Y we believe that in William Ra,
t dolp Hearst is found the man. Ills re
. ord is that of the greatest DESTROYER
! trusts the country has seen. he is q
greatest champion of the competlti'
business principle, the greatest oppol
: ent OF trust methods. He is the log
: cal candidate.
: II is unnecessary to call attention
