ed with an energy, industry and intel
hgent care for the interests of the PEG
pie which is distinctly in advance OF
even the most creditable administra
tons in the past.
An Unsurpassed Navy.
Our splendid navy and its personnel
has been raised to the highest poini
of efficiency, u comparatively small
Deen kept up to a concert pitch of fit
ness ana effectiveness which is a mar
vel and wonder to the old-timer in the
service, while the digging of the Pana
ma canal, the greatest engineering un
dertaking of the ages, is being pushed
with typical Roosevelt energy.
"Tama jim" the Right Man.
In the agricultural department, I'm
Gle James Wilson has continued to wild
en- and broaden the scope of his work
and efforts in behalf of American stock
men and agriculturists until this de
partment is annually doing a work il
inspection, supervision, experiment
and assistance which is of incalculable
value to the American people.
The Newest Cabinet P!acs.
The new department OF commerce
and labor IS performing a splendid
work in the interest of the wage earn
ers, and of inquiry, investigation ant
supervision of corporate organization
and methods which has already beer
highly beneficial, and which, as a foun
dation for the inevitable increase o.
the control OF the federal government
over great corporations and capitals
tic combinations, is and will be OF vasl
value.
Pushing Irrigation Work.
The department of the interior has
been pushing with vigor, economy ant
intelligence the vast irrigation work:
provided for by the national reclama
ton law; has literally and wisely ad
ministered the great pension and pat
ent bureaus, and has vigorously
though sometimes not owe wisely
sought to enforce the land laws.
Department of State.
The department of state has under
this administration increased the al
ready high prestige and standing o.
our country among the nations of the
world. The splendid genius Of ElihT
Root has maintained the peace in Cen
trail America and cemented the bonds
of fellowship and confidence between
our country and all the republics soutt
of us to an extent that is the marve
and envy of all the world, and which
will vastly strengthen our position
both from a diplomatic and CONNER
cial standpoint.
Income and Expenditures.
Nothing more clearly indicates the
marvellous progress, growth and devel
opement OF the country under this re
publican administration than the in
crease in the necessary expenditures
of the nation. In spite of the fact that
the last congress more carefully scru
tinized every item of appropriation
than any other congress in a decade
there was a considerable necessary in
crease in appropriations, but this in
creasing expenditure is more than mel
by a still more rapidly increasing in
come, so that the financial condition
of the nation is better than ever be
fore, and our financial standing higher
than that of any other nation on earth
enabling us to sell 2 per cent cana
bonds at a premium hitherto unhearG
of.
The Sum or 1t.
To sum up the situation, our repub
lican president commands the enthusi
astic support, confidence and respect
of a larger proportion of the people
than any of his predecessors have
been fortunate enough to do. Our con
gress, republican by an Overwhelming
majority, has shown greater industry
and a reader response to the demand
of the people for legislation than any
other congress in the history Of the
nation. Dur administrative depart
ments have been conducted inamannel
beyond praise, the laws of the land
having been enforced with courage and
justice, and the people of the country
are busy, prosperous and contentet
beyond all comparison with Other
times or other lands.
No Lack of Support.
With such a picture before them
with such a record for their inspection
he who suggests that republican poll
cies and candidates will not be enthu
siastically supported in this campaign
insults the intelligence and good sense
of the American people.
state Affairs.

interests of the people in the nation, sc

Brooks and all of our state officers
have worked with an eye single to the
best interests of the people of our
young commonwealth. Their admins
tration and conduct of affairs has been
economical, faithful and efficient,
abundantly ~warranting the continue
ton of our party in charge of the state
government
Stiff Stand Patter.
In such a condition of affairs, who is
so woefully shortsighted as to not
stand pat" who so blindly foolish as
to not hold fast" hold fast to the
principles, the policies and to the sup
port of the candidates of the party un
der whose management and direction
of affairs we have had unparalleled in
dividual prosperity, an exalted stand
ard of public service, and the widest
national glory and honor.
