Of this country such as we never had be

vicdons. for that awful danger just be-
cause it has always been enough for
Democrat to say. I am a Democrat;
never mind the issue
Colo Standard, wise Tariff.
You can be sure that Roosevelt and
his party will treat the tariff wisely.
How Parker and his party viii treat the
tariff nobody knows, but we all fear.
With Roosevelt and his party We are
sure Of sound money but with Parker
and his party we can only hope for its
permauence. The Democrats will vote
for Gold Parker for the same reason
they voted for Silver Bryan. just because
they are Democrats, but the Silver Dem
ocrats fepudate Parker's gold creed
millions and millions Of them. Parker
telegraphed that he believed the gold
standard 70 be irrevocaby fixed. II is
so irreyocably fixed providing the Re
publican party remains in power, but not
i1revocably fixed if the Democrats come
into power. What could Parker do with
his wild herd OF silverites If the chance

safety with Roosevelt.
I'VE know that Roosevelt and his par
ty viii deal with the trusts seriously and
vigorously. as in the past but how Par
ker and his party viii deai with the
trusts no one knows. Roosevelt stands
clearly on his record as to trust abuses.
When the Northern Securities was violat-
ing the antitrust law. he instantly or
dered the most stringent investigation,
and the Supreme Court decided that the
law had been violated. and ordered
dissolution. We can be sure that Roose-
yelt will keep on in that same vigorous
attitude towards the enforcement Of the
laws.
"On the other hand. Parker has been
very timid and tame in speaking of the
trusts in his speech Of acceptance. Back
OF that strange caution in Parker's utter
ances is the well-known alliance OF some
of the biggest trust systems TO secure his
election. 1t is absolutely impossible TO
predict what treatment he will give them
if he is called upon as President to en-
force the laws against them.
Our foreign policy is safe with RoOse-
party are likely to plunge into the un-
known, with paths that lead to nowhere
in particular. If Parker were elected,
David r, Hill, the corrupt political boss
9f New York. would doubtless occupy the
position now so ably filed 10y Secretary
OF State Hay.
Roosevelt and his party have always
been constitutional. Parker aud his par
ty make 'constitutionaism mask for
a lack OF aggressiveness and an excuse
for failure to meet public questions in
an intelligent. aggressive manner. Roose-
welt has never come near overriding the
Constitution. If he had ever done VIC /

nobody fails TO know what he is driving /

he was famous for not opening his mouth |
Oh gold. Nobody knew anything Of his /
attitude except that he had twice voted
for Bryan. He got his nomination be-
cause Of that golden silence After half !

sent his famous telegram.
In view Of all these things" says Mr..
Clews. Il think it pretty clear that it
will be safer for the country to vote for
Roosevelt and the Republican nominees
,or Congress than to vote for Parker
