ME There is a very confused idea
h the minds OF mny Republican
,oters about what heir own party
,oally stands for, and an entirely
wrong conception Ct what the Demo
cratic policies are. The growth OF
Inc trusts and the vast merger OF
the wealth OF the country In a few
hands Is in consequence OF the laws
rassed by congress, when controlled
M the Republicans The great in
crease I'm the cost of living can be
mainly charged to the tariff shelter
inc the trusts and combines by pro-
tecting those corporations from for
eIcn competition There have been
several comprehensive speeches made
IN the tariff and trust issues by Con-
gressman Williams, which can be OBJ
aimed from the Democratic congress
sional committee. Washington, ID C..
and a speech by congressman Towne
which. coming from a former Re
publican. especially appeals TO Re-
publicans-on present and past Is

If YOU send the name OF Repub-

Elections are won in two ways.
FIRST by accessions from the enemy.
hy 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 70 change
the result in the close and doubtful
districts. SO no greater service can
be rendered TO the party and 10 the
country than 10 see that all known

A Democratic congress will mean
that a tariff reform bin will be passed
by the house Of representatives and
il The senate rejects II. that will com
pei the attention of the country and
force the issue of tariff revision in
the national election Of 1908. II
would also mean that a bill reducing
those tariff duties that exceed 100 PEI
cent would be sent to the senate,
and thus discover the actual Republic
an friends of the trusts that those
enormous and exorbitant duties pro-

tiyes will also investigate the gov
eminent departments. where many
scandals Turk that have been hidden
and suppressed by the Republicans
for the good Of the party
It will also mean that when the
next congress meets in December
1907. the law for the control of the
railroad rates can be amended &c

The Republican leaders, from Pres
ident Roosevelt down. have decided
and declared they will stand pat OF
the trust-fostering tariff. which is ths
main cause of the enormous concen
tration Of wealth in few hands anc
the enormous increase in the cost q
living. To stand pat and submit t6
be plundered by the trusts is IN
American. and the Democratic part,
confidently appeals to independent Re
publican voters 20 join in reforms tina
are impcratiyely needed for the vel
