to every home.
And every frugal man, anxious for
the future ofthose dependent upon him,
knows well-many one to his cost
the character of the speculative trust,
with it's enormous initiation and over
capitalization, its remor seless robbing
of the public, its cold-b looded get-rich-
quick schemes and the character of its
promoters.
1t is known by it's works, by its
stealing of the accommodations of hus-
band and wife, it's despoilng of the
children's future, using as bait the
names of criminal "respectables.
The duty before the democracy to-
day is to fight the criminal trusts, to
cut down and root out the evil power
of that predatory wealth that seeks to
supplant government of the people by
government of the pocketbook and the
lobby.
The criminal trusts must be de-
stroyed because they menance pros
perity. They menance real prosperi-
ty, the prosperity of all the people, the
prosperous growth of the nation under
popular government.
No man needs to be told how firmly
the trusts have intrenched themselves
in government. These trusts are alb
sorbing more and more the power that
should be the peoples.
Jackson found himself face to face
with the great bank reaching out for
national power. He was told that this
bank claimed frankly the right to a
certain number of representatives and
to certain number of senators in the
American congress. He answered,
with his own peculiar emphasis, that
if there existed in the country such
governing power, outside the govern
ment, he would destroy it. And he did
destroy it.
How puny was the power. how puny
| tina ,,t tin,, IN, Of "a
bank which aroused Jakson's deep
and fatal Indignation,
Any one Of a dozen big trusts to- day
exceeds in power the boasted influ-
ence of that bank. The sugar trust,
the beef trust, the coal trust; any OF
the trusts that need to create leglsla-
ton or to defeat Legislation for the con-
venient robbing OF the public have
their tame men, their hired attorneys,
in office.
The bank OF Jacl<son's day titnidly
claimed the right to Il small share in
government-and Jackson killed it for
its temerity.
What would he say to the swarm OF
trusts to-day, whose individual and
combined influence, whose paid or ter
rorized servants, in or out of Office,
constitute the governing power in the
national administration?
If jackson was needed IN his day,
how much more is he needed now,
with the fearlessness that made him
do his duty as he saw it!
Needless to say, the democratic par,
ty OF the United States, which includes
able and successful men in all lines O
effort, has never put itself in posi-.
ton of hostility to any legitimately ac
quired wealth.
To-day, as in Jackson's day, the
democratic party is a party open to al
American citizens, obedient to tn,
laws and faithful to the constitution
no matter how poor or no matter how
, rich they be.
No democrat need be reminded thu,
the ability of those men who posses
) honesty acquired riches is essential +
the nations welfare.

those of another class who cry down
and attack the rights of the union man
who works with his hands.
The democratic party, more willing
ly than any other, recognizes that the
men who develop the resources OF the
country, the men who create the
wealth, the men who through execu-
tive, organizing and constructive abili-
ty provide opportunity for effo t, en-
ploy labor, distribute wages and con-
fer benefits upon the whole community,
are those entitled to large reward,
since those who direct great and 1egit-
innate business undertakings are es-
sential to the prosperity of the ma
ton.
The promoters of extortionate and
speculative trusts do not develop the
resources of the country, but hinder
aud restrict development. They do
| not create wealth, but appropriate the
wealth which others have created.
They check prosperity by concentrat-
ing wealth in the bands of the few
out of the savings of the many. They
limit opportunity, they limit employ
ment of labor and reduce the 1aborer's
wage, while they increase the cost of
living. They confer no benefits on the
community. The wealth they possess is
stolen money, and the laws of the
country should hold them as public
criminals.
Managers of get-rich. quick trusts,
managers of fraudulant trusts-that
great tribe of public robbers-are not
COMPOUNDED in any democrats mind
with the honest men whose superior
ability, industry, patience or intellect
have brought them legitimate wealth.
The growth and prosperity Of the
United States have merely begun. The
nation needs the ablest minds, capa-
Bile of wide planning and accomplish
ment. These will continue to be val
ued and encouraged by ali good citi-
zens. Every democrat will agree that
the laborer is worthy of his hire,
whether he works for day wages or for
great wealth, SO long as he works hon
estly and ligitimatelv.
The democratic party is the party
of all honest working Americans; it is
the party that will promote the welfare
of all those contented to live within the
laws.
The democratic party is the party of
prosperity -the prosperity of the many
not the law defying few.
The coming battle of the democ-
racy against special privilege is al
ready clearly outlined in the minds o.
intelligent voters. This nation was
esta blished for the benefit of all, fol
the purpose Of giving equal lega
rights to all. The coming fight of the
democracy is to preserve the essentia
character Of our American system
and is to be against the criminal e!a.
ment which seeks to change the ma
ton S character.
1t is the duty of the democratic par
of extortionate- trusts, which, like TIA,
coal trust and like the beef trust, con
troll the necessities of life, increasing
the cost of living and destroying the
purchasing power OF money earned.
1t is the duty of the democratic par
ty to eliminate the opportunities o
speculative trusts like the steel trus
and the shipyard trust, that deceive
the public and take the peoples saw
ings in exchange for worthless water
ed stocks.

ty to prevent the recurrence of the pres

What Jacks0n's Name Means to Dem0c-


Address sent in reply to various invitations to
attend jackson Day celebrations by William
Randolph Hearst. In the Chicago American.
The name of Andrew jackson will
always stand for fundamental, fear
less and victorious democracy.
His name is inspiring, especially
worth of reverence at this time when
the people again encounter an attempt
by INSCRIPTIONS wealth to control the
government of the country.
To-day's situation resembles, in a
greatly exaggerated form, that with
which Andrew Jackson dealt when
our republic was young.
To realize the work that Jackson did
we must remember that he not only at
tackled and destroyed national dan
ger in his own time, but undoubtedly
put off for m any years that growth in
the power of financial corruption
which threatens the country now.
This nations development of individ-
uality, liberty and prosperity for so
long time under popular government
we owe to the genius with which JEFF
ferson met the questions Of his day, to
the courage and fighting quality with
which Jackson attacked and destroyed
the public enemy of his day.
Never in the history of this country
has arrogant, oyerpowering predatory
wealth been as menacing as it is now;
never through the wide exposure OF it's
methods has it been as thoroughly de:
tested as it is now
The criminal trust issue is the dom.
mating issue in the minds of the whole
American people.
TO deal with the criminal trust rad.
ically, making Of them its great issue,
is the duty of the democracy. Moral
duty demands that the democratic par
ty attack and DESTROY misroyerument
by trusts. And political wisdom Uhe

JOKE ON SIM
WOODEN INDIAN KEPT AN ALL
ANcE MAN FROM HOME
ALL NIGHT.

Alliance, O.. Nov. 1.-Ex-Sheriff Sim
Ashbrook is the victim of one Of the
best Halloween jokes on record.
Monday night he was away from his
home until a rather late hour pre-
sumably attending lodge meeting. He
returned home after the street lights
had been eXtinguished at any rate, IL
the statements of his friends can be
accepted. Upon approaching his
porch Mr.. AshbrOok noticed a large
black figure standing in a shadow.
Cautiously he advanced nearer to the
figure and perceived the features of
man. large, with high hat and with his
hand raised in a menacing manner.
Ashbrook did not stop to investigate
further but hied himself at once to the
keplinger hotel where he spent the
night
Early in the morning he arose and
called up his wife. How are things
at home" said he. 20, everything is
all right" said his wife, except that
some one played a joke ON us. Some
boys brought that Indian cigar sign
from in front of Cows last night and
placed it on our porch and it has been
there all night" 20 HI" said Sim,
''Fll be home in a minute"
When asked Tuesday as to why he
left his family at the mercy of the
supposed man. Mr.. Ashbrook said that
he thought he would not disturb the
fellow for fear he would do something.
The Jokes on Sim and his friends are
not slow abcTt telling him of it.

WITH A SET OF
BURGLAR TOOLS
HENDRICKS WAS FOUND DEAD
ON BANKS ROOF.
Circumstances Point to the Theory
That He Was Preparing to Rob
the Bank.

Montgomery, Ala, Nov. 1.-Killed
by an electric current of 4,500 volt
age, James II. Hendricks, member
Of one of the oldest families in Ala
bama, was found on the veranda of
the American National bank building
today.
Near the body, which was clothed
in the uniform of the Montgomery
Grays, crack local militia company,
of which Hendricks was member,
was set of burglars tools 1t was
possible that Hendricks had attempt
ed to cut the electric wire with a
view of darkening the bank building
The pliers were found in his hand,
and 1t was evident by this connection
he had died of the fatal shock.
The fact that Hendricks was seen
Monday with man known to til
police and believed to be an expert
burglar has led to the most sensation
al rumors concerning his presence
on the roof of the bank building.
Besides the burglars tools found
nearby there were supplies Of dyna-
mite, nitroglycerine and fuses. Hend-
ricks was well acquainted with the
officials of the bank

Before those on the car could compre.
hend the meaning of the exclama'
tions there was sudden crash and
an engine and two coaches backed in,
to the special cars. The people in the
sleeper were thrown from the feet
and in Senator Fairbanks car the
dishes were broken, meat, potatoes
and other eatables, that go to make
up square meal were piled in a mass.
The cooks and walters were pitched
out like footballs Luckily no one
was hurt.
The cause of the accident was the
fault of the air brake to work on the
cars and the engine. There was con,
siderable excitement for few mo-
ments.

ENCOUNTER WITH
DESPERATE MEN
ALLIANCE POLICE MEET STUB
BORN RESISTANCE.
From Two Intoxicated Men Whom
They Arrested After Using
Their Clubs.

Alliance, O., Nov. 1.-Oficer Elliott
and Lieutenant Alexander of the To-
cal police force had a dangerous en-
counter Tuesday evening with two
very desperate men. A telephone call
was received from the corner of
Broadway and Liberty to the effect
that two drunken men were seriously
disturbing the residents in the vicin-
ity. The two officers responded to the
call ana two foreigners were found in
badly intoxicated condition. The
two were Immediately placed under
arrest and the patrol called. The
men put up a stubborn resistance and
the officers were compelled to use their
clubs. The men were taken to the
Jail, yelling and cursing all the way.
Upon arriving there the officers pro-
ceeded to place the men in cells and to
search them. Both men were big fell
lows and each nearly six feet tall and
heavy proportionally. They resisted
the action of the officers and a fierce
struggle ensued inside the jail. Lieu
tenant Alexander grappled with one
of the men while officers Elliott and
Greenwalt searched another. The
man with whom Alexander was strug-
Cling reached for his pocket and the
other officers were summoned to help
search him. Just as a large loaded
revolver was taken from his pocket

preached with similar weapon in his

and wrested the weapon from him

ANOTHER FLIGHT
MORE SUCCESSFUL THAN THE
FIRST ONE.
Navigator knabenschue Had the Ma.

Crowds Cheered Him.

st. Louis, Nov. 1.-The California"
other successful fight over the worlds
fair grounds this afternoon with A.
Roy Knabenschue as navigator. be-
fore crowd OF cheering thousands.
Its fight was over a larger territory
than yesterday when Knabenschue
took the air vessel over the ferris
wheel and circled as he chose before
returning to the aeronautic concourse.
Today he went outside the grounds.
His first route lay to the north and
he went almost half way to Delmar
Garden; turning he passed over the
aerodrome and to a point over the
pipe village; thence back over the
stadium; thence southeast; thence to
the southwest for several hundred
yards, returning to land in the stad-
ium.
At an elevation of 500 feet, Knaben-
schue, in what seemed to be spirit of
fun, circled and ran strange crooked
lines in the air.
The crowd of spectators, among it
many exposition officers, and John
Barrett. minister Of Panama. greeted
its return with wild exclamations.
Whenever 1t appeared over the con-
course the people surged along in its
wake until stopped by the fence.
Knabenschue remained in the air 40
minutes and attained a maximum
height of 1.200 feet. The average
speed was about IL miles an hour.
Inventor Baldwin states that anoth-
er flight will probably be undertaken
tomorrow, after which the airslip will
be taken east.

DENIAL AUTHORIZED
BY PRESIDENT
ROOSEVELT
THAT BIG CAMPAIGN FUNDS is
BEING COLLECTED.
Less Than Half What IL Was In 1900
and Less Than a Third
of 1896.

Washington, Nov. 1.--President
Roosevelt has authorized the state
ment that the total campaign funds
at the disposal of the Republican
National committee is less than half
what it was in 1900, and less than
third of the total in 1896; and that
not single pledge of any sort has
been made by Chairman Cortelyou or
by any one authorized to represent
the president.
The president has thus far stoUd
steadfastly by his intention to re-
ply to Judge Parker's charges that
the trusts are contributing to his cam.
paign fund, but it is the belief that
before election day he will issue q
formal denial
He has gone so far as to call into
conference the spondents of the
leading Republican newspapers of
New York, Philadelphia and Chicago,
and suggest that they present to their
readers the emphatic denial of these
charges, which he feels his position
prevents him from denouncing openly.
