Of this country such as We never had be-
fore Ntt they voted against their con
victions ,or hat awful danger just be-
cause it has always been enough for
Democrat to say. / am Democrat;
never mind the issue.
Gold standard; Wise Tariff.
You can be sure that Roosevelt aud
his party viii treat the tariff wisely.
How Parker and his party will treat the
tariff nobody knows. but we all fear.
With Roosevelt aud his party We are
sure of sound money. but with Parker
and his party we can only hope for its
pernanence The Democrats will vote
for Gold Parker for the same reason
they voted for Silver Bryan, just because
they are Democrats. bur the Silver Dem
oerats rrpudiate Parker's gold cree.i--
millions and millions If them. Parker
tcIegraphed that he believed the gold
standard to be irrevocably fixed. II Is
50 irrevocably fixed, providing the Re
publican party remains in power. but not
itrevocably fixed it the Democrats come
into power What could Parker do with
his wild herd of silvemtes if the chance
ever came for them to stampede:
Safety with Roosevelt.
I'VE know that Roosevelt and his par
Is will deal with the trusts seriously and
vigorously as in the past, but how Par
ker and his party will deal with the
trusts No one knows. Roosevelt stands
clearly on his record as TO rust abuses.
When the Northern Securities was violat-
ING the antitrust law, he instantly or
dered the most stringent investigation.
and the Supreme Coz decided that the
law had been violated. and ordered Il
dissolution. We can be sure that Roose-
Welt will ,etp on n that same vigorous
attitude 10 q rds he enforcement of the
laws.
ION 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
II he is called upon as President To en-
force the laws against them.
Our foreign policy is safe with Roose-
welt and John Hay, but Parker and his
party are likely to plunge into the IN
known, with paths that lead to nowhere
in particular. If Parker We're elected
David r. Hill. the corrupt political boss
Of New York, would doubtless occupy the
position now so ably filed by Secretary
Of State Hay.
Roosevelt and his party have always
been constitutional. Parker and his par
~ make 'constitutionaiism a mask for
. al nv
Cor failure to meet public questions N
ala intelligent. aggressive manner. Roose-
Welt has never come neaY overriding the
Constitution. Ii he had ever done VIC
lcnce 10 the Constitution he would have
20 meet the charges Of impeachment.
I;ut not once mas the widest Democrat
in Congress even suggested that Roose-
Welt was open to impeacl ment When a
strong man performs a great duty he
does it in a prompt and decisive man
ner. Instantly weak and envious peo'
pie cry. Behold giant who will tram
pie us
Open, HCnest. Frank.
AS for honesty. no living man can
charge Roosevelt with deceitfulness. and
nobody fails to know what he is driving
AZ. Parker may II he deceitful. but he
takes a longer time To show himself open
and abovcl1ard. Before his nomination.
he was famous for not opening his mouth
ou gold. Nobody knew anything of his
attitude except that be had twice voted
| for Bryan. He got his nomination be
| cause of that golden silence. After half
! OK the convention had gone home he
sent his famous telegram.
In view Of all these things says Mr.
| ClewS, Il think il pretty clear that il
| will be safer for the country to vote for
| Roosevelt and the Republican nominees
| Tor Congress than TO vote for Parker
aud his Congressional nominees. In
