MAY FOOL THEM.

+ II will amuse a Republican to
4. state at this time that Democ-
1. raey will be triumphant in 1908.
1. In al probability their answer
4. will be that they have been in :
+ power for forty years and Will :
+ continue forty years longer.
+ But in politics as in every :
+ thing else there is a great silent :
4. change going on, that portends :
+ evil to the dominant Republican :
4. party. The charges of the De- :
+ mocracy regarding gratis and :
4. the enrichment of the few at the :
+ expense of the many. is being :
+ proven true. :
+ As is being said, not by one :
1. but by millions, the charges of .
= Mr. Bryan in his great campaign :
+. Of a few years ago. are all being
= proven more than true. The :
+ great insurance scandals, the :
+ graft of the favored few protect :
+ ed by the railroads. the truth of :
+ the manner in which men have :
+ become rich. together with the !
+ great scandal in the packing in :
+ dustry all conspire to teach the :
+ American people that it was .
T. time that the Republican party !

+ Republican can not possibly be- !
= believe that Democracy will be !
+ triumphant in the next cam :
+ paign. He has no reasoning !
r power that will admit of such !
+ contratemps to him. For so .
+ many years has he eaten of the !
+ fruits of the party that to antici- !
1. pate such a calamity, is not

I. ments; that the widow and the 1
+ orphan have been robbed by 1
I. the insurance thieves; that con 1
! gress was nothing more or less l
+ than millionaire's club, main l
+ tained for the benefit of the clas- 1
= ses and not the masses, these 1
+ have been political platitudes 1
I. heretofor that have been as a 1
+ sounding brass and a tinkling 1
I. symbol. But during the past 1
+ years crusade these apparent /
r platitudes, to which few paid 1
!. any attention, have grown into I
+ monumental truths and tre- 4
+ mendous scandals that have 1
+ taken down In their tide, names 1
+ that were great, fortunes that 1
+ we're powerful and which yet I
+ may undo the chain that has 4

+ both Democracy and Republi- 1

1. with the next national cam .
+ paign. Roosevelt has dared to .
+ teach the money barons and !
+ those who have grown rich by :
+ railway rebates and in other !
+ manner protected. that this .
r country is what it was Intended !
+ to be a republic, where the :
+ whole people were to he made :

+ II would be heresy to make .
+ so bold a statement that, Mr.. .
