grand act | app,auded him for It.
But where did he get the doctrine
in the republican platform? No He
got 1t from the democratic platform.
and | wrote the plank myself, We
were very glad to lend him tho plank
from our platform. II he could gain
popularity by settling one strike that
cost the public ninety.nine millions of
dollars, why ought not our party
have some credit for proposing plan
which, II put into n law, would have
made the strike unnecessary? Why
has not the republican party followed
IL up by making national law that
will render 1t unnecessary for a man
to starve his wife and children in
order to get Justice?
The Only Popular Republican.
III the president can become the
only popular man in the republican
party, because he does something
systematically along democratic lines,
what would be the popularity oi the
man who does something, and has
always been a democrat? Where did
MIR. Roosevelt lind his mandate foi
his action regarding the rate bill'
He had to 30 TO the democratic plat
form
The most important part OF the
Elkins' bill Is penitentiary sentence
for its violation. The railroads have
tt,,ts Ia,
politics in the rast twenty years. By
the use OF passes the railroads have
hacked conventions. This law was
suggested by the democratic party. l
shall soon have occasion 10 talk on
railroads again. bu. want tonight to
impress upon you that th' railroad
question solution was the product oil
the democratic party.
Pertinent Question.
The president has now been in Of
fee almost five years. ilu" many
trust maguatus are in the pcniten
tiary? We have great many trusts
in this country violating the law. MY
friends, / ask you to figure out on the
basis OF the NUMBER OF trust magnatcs
Imprisoned during the past i've years
how many generations viii II take 10
solve the trust question
The republican party processes to
be very much opposed to anarchy,
and yet ! want to say to YOU that the
republican party has made more anar'
Chists in It's enforcement oil the law
than all the persons who stand on the
streets or gather in halls and preach
anarchy believe IN Furnishing the
| big criminals as well AZ the little
The Tariff Question.
There is one question on which the
republican party did not follow the
| democratic platform, and that Is on
/ the tariff question The democrats
/ demand a lower tariff where 1t is a
/ bulwark of Il trust, but the republicans
refused to lower the tariff on single
article. The republicans claim the
/ tariff was started as a war measure,
and has been continued since the war
( to protect infant industries, and yet
many of these infant industries have
grown steadily. and are not only able
to stand alone, but they walk around
and tread upon everyone with whom
they come in contact.
The Money Sauandered.
THE money squandered on the re
publican party's Philippine policy
would have reclaimed every arid acre
in the west; yes. It would have built
a highway from New York to San
Francisco, ANA would have regulated
the railroad question better than you
can regulate 1t uy law. Five hundred
million dollars were spent on the
Philippine islands. and this five hun
dred million dollars would have bull
the Panama canal.
Now my friends II these thing.
prove TO You that democratic fore
thought is better than republican fore
thought. wouldn't It be better to vote
for democrats than for those who have
followed at the tail end of the demo
cratic procession?
