CANDIDATES COMPARED.

why Theodore Roosevelt IL More Popu.
lar than Alton B. Parker.
The New York Sunday Democrat, a
newspaper that recently bolted Parker
and came out for Roosevelt In giving
the reasons why the Parker campaign
Is languishing and the Roosevelt cam
paign is booming, says:
Judge Parker has few Of the attrt
butes Of popularity; Theodore Roose-
welt has them all.
Parker is timid; Roosevelt Is brave.
Parker is controlled by friends and
patrons; Roosevelt is independent
Parker represents no policy and has
no political record; Roosevelt is one of
the acknowledged progressive states
men of the century and his record is
the record of the sunshine years Of
militant and advancing Americanism.
"As there is practically no one. to
vigorously oppose there Is no one to
actively defend Judge Parker as pol:t.
ical standard-bearer. Theodore Roo,.-
welt invites the fire Of partisan enemies
and attracts to his support thousands
Of patriotic and earnest admirers.
Judge Parker is a weak candidate,
an unwi candidate, an unfortunate
candidate III :" Presidency. a life
of judicial m.--o md exclusion
from political affairs les not appeal
to the allegiance Of partisans. Thee
dore Roosevelt is strong, vigorous,
an invincible candidate for the Presi-
dency. He is man Of action nomi-
mated for an electorate Of Astounding
energy, force and progress. He is, es-
pecially, the idol Of the young men of
the country.
1T is, therefore, not at all surpris-
ing that as the voters contrast these
two candidates they should be ire
sisttbly drawn to one--to Roosevelt
and should be repealed from or become
indifferent to his antagonist, Parker.
Such is the present trend of the cam
paign and it Is decidedly favorable to
President Roosevelt. No reasonable
doubt for his election exists or is en-.
tertained by anyone familiar with pol
ltics. Democrat or Republican,

The Works of Democracv

by their works shall We know
Them" By what single work are the
American people to know that the
Democratic party can be safely in
trusted with power? There is not a
single distinctive policy Of the party
that, put to the test, ever worked with
out creating damage. The Democratic
party has favored slavery, free silver
and free trade, but never a single
principle has it ever favored that
meant greater happiness and prosper
ity for the American people. The Repub-
iican party freed the slaves, and it has
stood and still stands for sound money
and protection to American industries,
It is the party of construction, not the
party of destruction. r

His Magnetism Proves Attractive to Mon
s of All Conditions.
There is a magnetism in open, fear.
less manhood which attracts the souls
Of men. The workingmeno Of the coun-
try recognize In President Roosevelt an
active worker, sincere, democratic.
straightout brother man. There is no
discounting the unerring instinct by
which one sturdy man or class Of men
reaches swift decision as to character.
Perhaps the rank and file Of the work
ers Of the United States cannot give
out long speeches as to why they be-
heve In Roosevelt but the fact Is they,
know him. That Is enough. /
Put Theodore Roosevelt in group
Of railway engineers and firemen, or
on ranch in Idaho; let him sit down
to dinner with dozen farmers at q
country tavern or ride In q car with
a mining outfit, or a college football
team, or delegation Of stonemasons,
and instantly he would be sized up,
estimated and acknowledged by any
and all Of these Representatives Of
American life as a hearty, genial COM
panion, and as strong man and as
a strong leader Of men.
Evidences multiply, day by day,
showing in what high esteem Presi-
dent Roosevelt is held by the men who
are doing the work of the country; the
work which keeps life going, and
makes 1.-THE wheels 60 'round.'" And
these intelligent keen workers, look
ing with clear eyes upon the great
fabric Of society that they are daily
building, know how to pick leader
for themselves and their country.
Nothing can make the virile young
manhood of America turn its eyes
away from Theodore Roosevelt Moth
ing can destroy the confidence In him
Of the steady, hopeful toilers Of mid
die age. And to the old and ex-
perienced the vain appeals of. ancient
party prejudices are but as ratings to
the deaf. Young, middle-aged and old
alike In the great world Of industry
and traffic, have made up their. minds
about the coming election; and when
it comes they are going to show the
faith that is in them.
The American workingmen have no
doubts about Theodore Roosevelt
They know just what to expect of him
when he is president, and they mean
to have it by electing him.

WAS DEMOCRACY 1NsANE9
II So. Bryan Was a Luuaeio, According to

II 30, Bryan Was q Luuatio, According to
4 Mr. Cleveland.
Democracy "has returned to san
ity," said Grover Cleveland recently,
In an interview.
/ This statement, made with all the
solemn pond erosity Of which Mr.. Cleve-
land is capable, would imply that the
q Democratic party has been insane and
IT'S leaders a set Of lunatics In pre-
vious interviews Mr.. Cleveland con-
tented himself with merely saying that
Democracy had strayed from the right
path after strange gods" when it en-
braced Organism, but since the defeat
Of the Bryan faction at st. Louis he
has been secretly rejoicing over the
apparent downfall Of his most bitter
political enemy, and on Oct. 2, at Buzz
Yards Bay, he virtually declared that
Mr.. Bryan was mailman
How do the friends of Mr.. Bryan in
Indiana, Illinois, Nebraska and other
states relish having their leader called
lunatic? Insanity is lunacy, or mad
ness, and If the Democratic party has
returned to sanity" it must first have
been insane, and, by the same reason
ing, If the party was insane. because
Mr. Bryan was its leader Mr.. Bryan
himself must have been the chief lu-
matte.
Candidate Parker is generally ad-
mitted to be nonentity in his party
a tool of Hill, Sheehan and others
and what he says counts for little, but
1t Is different when Mr.. Cleveland
talks. He is the oracle Of the Eastern
Democracy, and If he says Bryan is in
sane 1t is certain he voices the senti-
ments of sane" Democracy.
How can the Bryanites indorse such
a SANDER on their leader by supporting
Parker? Mr.. Cleveland declined to
vote for Mr.. Bryan on the ground that
the Nebraskan was insane, but he will
vote for Parker because he leads the
sane" Democracy ticket.
An important point seems to have
been forgotten by Mr.. Cleveland. Par
ker voted twice for the Nebraska Gu
matte" and was therefore one Of the
host Of madmen who composed lin
sane" Democracy. Does Mr.. Cleveland
improve his position by now support
ing one Of the madmen who voted for
the leader of insane Democracy?
Mr.. Cleveland's thrust at Bryan was
uncalled for, and will, no doubt, be re-
sented at the polls, for the friends Of
Mr. Bryan do not think he should be
put in the straitjacket class.
