only were against us in sentiment, but
they organized n third party, went in
and tried to destroy Mr.. Bryan and the
Democratic party. and they succeeded.
Now this same old gang, bought up by
the trusts, heeled by the trusts, sup
ported by monopolistic money, the
grinders of the face of the poor, is GO

men to support a man and a party that
has abused us and our people more than
they ever have the Republican party.
More Money in Circulation.
1.-The Republican party, with what

of being insincere. and, furthermore. the
Republican party has come to where we
wanted them. What we wanted in re-
gard to money was more OF it, and the
Republicans came to it in a different
way. OF course none of us cared for the
simple question of silver, only as it af-
fected the volume of currency. There
was too small an amount of money in
circulation to do the business of the
country. Now we have plenty of
money.
Look at the financial condition of our
country now. Whoever saw such a coun-
try? Where in all history is there rec
ord of n country as prosperous as we are
to-day? Look at our immense exporta-
ton of goods, billions of dollars being
brought into our country from abroad
more than we send out. The like was
never seen before. Our farmers only
a few years ago in the Western States
were borrowing money at anywhere from
to 10 and in some States II per
, cent. Look at them now. You cannot
loan them money. and most of them
have money to loan, and they are glad
TO get or 6 per cent for it. God is on
our side. and the very earth responds to
good times. Look at our corn crop. bill

Good Time to "Stnnd Pat"

president Roosevelt has never left
us in doubt where he was on any ques-
ton, always straight honest, true and
square. He is an American from the
crown of his head to the soles of his
feet, and nobody can have any doubt as
to his standing by the flag of our coun-
try and commanding honest respect. The
Democrats would do well not to carry
on their campaign expecting to obtain
votes from the American people by abus-

they do. he will be elected by the largest
majority any President has ever been
since the days of Horace Greeley. Ev-
erybody knows Mr.. Roosevelt is straight,
and whether you are his political friend
or enemy, you know he is gentleman,
honest, upright and sincere.
1.-The attempt to show that he is wild
and cratic has no force whatever, be-
cause he has already had charge of the
government for nearly four years, and
he has done nothing but what was right,
surrounding himself with the very best
class of advisers. and il he has succeeded
for the first four years of his admin
istration, couldn't he do it four more?
Can't we trust him hetter than MIR. Par

Men should BE Honest.
"I think, furthermore, that in politics,
as well as in the affairs of life, man
should be honest and sincere. Now.
the gentlemen who are managing this
Parker boom are neither honest nor
sincere. Mr.. Hill, / suppose to be the
manager of the whole concern. as he
nominated Mr.. Parker in the convention;
Mr.. Parker is his creation. Mr.. Hill

idea, and thought it was a good scoop
on the Republicans. They would no
more think Of carrying it into practice
than they would of flying.
"Take it with the money question.
They did not have honesty enough to
come out and declare in favor Of the
gold standard, hoping to deceive some
body into the belief that they could sup
port and were believers in silver, as we
used to be. There is no sincerity in the
whole party, no honesty in it, and tell
