S.In asking the people to endorse

their triumphant march under the
banner of our great President,
Theodore Roosevelt, we remind
them of the fact that the menace to
their prosperity has always resided
in Democratic principles, and the
accession of that party to power at
this time would not only invite
commercial disaster, but would IN
dictate that we are not in sympathy
with our courageous President IN
his heroic efforts to eradicate every
vestige of error and correct every
abuse that menaces the welfare OF
the American people.

Nv our confidence in the National adj
ministration. Its acts have been es-
| tablished in wisdom and patriotism

ity and happiness greater than has
ever before been vouchsafed TO any

make the American flag the symbol
of Justice and equality wherever 1t

tbe weak must obey the laws OF the

ty approved by the people and en-
I-acted into law by Republican
