TO DEMOCRATIC VOTERS.
Success Depends on Two Duties Be
Ing Performed.

Every Democrat should see to II
that his Republican neighbors are en-.
lghtened on the wisdom of Democrat.
&c policies and their far-reaching eff.
Iect on the welfare Of the whole peo.
pie. There is a very confused idea
In the minds of many Republican
voters about what their own party
really stands for, and an entirely
wrong conception of what the Demo-
cratlc policies are. The srowth Of
the trusts and the vast merger of
the wealth of the country in a few
hands Is In consequence of the laws
passed Dy congress, when controlled
Dy the Republicans. The great in
crease in the cost Of living can be
mainly charged to the tariff shelter
Ing the trusts and combines by pro-
Iecung those corporations from for
elgn competition. There have been
several compi ehensive speeches made
on the tariff and trust issues by Con.
gresham Williams, which can be OBJ
tanned from the Democratic congress
slonal committee, Washington, d. c..
and a speech by congressman Towne
which, coming from a former Re.
publican. especially appeals to Re-
puDllcans-on present and past issues.
III you send the name of a Repub-
mean nelghbor whom you think is
honestly open to fair argument on
the great issues that divide the par
ties, the speech of Mr.. Towne will
be mailed to him.
Elections are won in two ways,
first by accessions from the enemy,
by converting Republicans from the
error of their ways, and then by get.
ting out the Democratic vote. At
every election, other perhaps than
the election of president, there are
enough stay-at-home votes to change
the result in the close and doubtful
districts, so no greater service can
be rendered to the party and to the
country than to see that all known
Democrats go to the polls
A Democratic congress will mean
hat tariff reform bill will be passed
oy the house of representatives, and
+ the senate rejects it,. that will com
'el the attention Of the country and |
orce the issue of tariff revision In |
he national election of 1908 1t |
would also mean that a bill reducing |
hose tariff duties that exceed 100 per
'ent. would be sent to the senate,
md thus discover the actual Republic
m friends OF the trusts that those
normous and exorbitant duties pro-
ect.
A Democratic house of representa-
ives will also investigate the gov
rnment departments, where many
candals lurk that have been hidden
nd suppressed by the Republicans,
for the good of the party"
1t will also mean that when the
ext congress meets in December.
9O7, the law for the control of the
abroad rates can be amended to
leet any changes found necessary by
lie interstate commerce commission.
to cover any provision of that law
lat may be decided as unconstitu.
Onal
The Republican leaders, from Pres
Ient Roosevelt down, have decided ,
nd declared they will stand pat on ,
le trust-fostering tariff, which is the
ain cause of the enormous concen- ,
alton of wealth in few hands and ,
le enormous increase in the cost of ,
wing. To stand pat and submit to ,
: plundered by the trusts is un- .
merican, and the Democratic party ;
'nfidently appeals to Independent Re- :
lblican voters to join in reforms that =
e imperatively needed for the wei
re of the people. :
