and explanation, owing to the

we ran the blue pencil through it

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

Senator 7. P. Gore, democrat, of
Oklahoma, in speech at Dallas,
Texas, in 1896 said:
1.-The trouble " it'll the Democratic
party il, it is party of statesmen
without craftsmanship, patriots with
out patriotism, heroes without hero
ism. Their policy begets farmers with
out farming, lapnrers without labor,
freemen without freedom.
"The fifty second congress had d
majority of 148, and if it redeemed a
single pledge, observed d single pro-
mise, kept single command or dis
charge a single obligation made to the
people of the United States, | will
quit the stump and retire from the
canvass.
THE fifty second congress was
elected on retrenchment and economy,
the free coinage of silver and the re-
peal of the Mckinley law. In the
matter of econumy that congress ex-
cseded the Republican. 81. 600, 900. 600

The cunsummate wisdom invariably
shown b., Mr.. Taft in relation 10 all
the great problems he has SO success
fully met and solved, when applied to
the financial and currency question,
which is the greatest question new
before the civilized world, will lead
Us unerringly to the right solution,
and through his guidance we will Sc
cure for all our banks creditors, for
all our business interests and AmerI-
an commerce, a scientific financial
and currency system, which ought to
be the best in the world.
Everything that Mr.. Bryan has
said upon political and economic ques-
tlpns during the past twelve years has
been uttered for the specific purp1 se
# fooling the people and trapping
their vote. The proof of this state
ment is evidenced by the tact that
whenever Mr.. BRYAN is resisted by the
common sense of the American people.
which is almost invariably the case
upon such questions, he Immediately
retracts and retreats.
On the other hand, no decisions
rendered by MIR. Taft, when Judge,
40 words uttered by him, no deeds
done by him during his public career,
call for apology or defense simply be-
cause he utters nothing and does
nothing for any other reason than be-
cause he believes it right and wise.
10 Mr.. TAFT, there foe, the American
people may confidently look fer pro-
gressive, yet conservative action up
on all financial and currency questions

Reason for Voting for Bryan

One of the latest reasons given fer
voting for Bryan was given by a
couple of business men in this city
Monday. Their reason was, that
everything was too high the products
of. the farm: wheat, barley oats, po-
tatoes, eggs. butter, cheese, and
should Bryan be elected prices would
be greatly reduced and the laboring
man and mechanic although they
would not receive as high pay as at
the present time, they could live more
cheaply. What do you think of that
Mr.. Farmer? Sell your wheat for
30 cents per bushel. barely, at q
cents, potatoes at 20 cents, eggs 10
cents. butter at Is cents and cheese
at 10 cents. 1t would about cut the
value of your farms in the center;
and Mr.. Lab ring man and Mechanic,
what do you think of a governmental
policy which would reduce your pay
half, provided ir was possible to secure
employment, which would be doubtful.
If you want the same conditions to
prevail in this country as obtained
from 1892 tt. 1896, then vote the DEM
ocratic ticket and when the bad times
come, stand up like men and glory in
your foolishness and thank God, that
you voted for Bryan.

If our democratic frIenGs ran get

they certainly are easily satisfied
The manner in which he showed up
the utter uselessness of the democracy
IN initiating and carrying out any pro-
gressive reforms, or the party identi-
flying itself with any measure or legis-
lation for the benefit of the people,
must have convinced thinking demo-
Gratis that it would be folly to trust
1t with the control of the national

that party from its organization it has
never inaugurated single return and
its policies have ever been destruc-

slightest degree When in power.
the country has suffered from its NAL
administration, beginning in 1928 and
ending when last in power under tn.
Cleveland administration when it had
full contrUl of the administrative and

ment. 1t is everlsstiDgly wrong on

TAFT SHOULD HAVE A REPUB-
LICAN CONGRESS

''To fail to elect Mr.. Taft would
be calamity to the country: and it
would be folly, while electing HIM yet
ct the same time to elect a congress
hostile to him, congress which under
the influence of partisan leadership
would be certain to thwart and battle
him in every possible occasion.
TO elect Mr.. TAFT and at the same
time elect congress pledged to sup
port him is the only way in which t.
perpetuate the policy of government
as now carried on Theodore Roose-
welt s letter to William B. Mckinley,
chairman Republican congressional

Approves Legislation to Improve the
Conditions of Labor.

Approves Legislation to Improve the
Conditions Of Labor.
(From Sherman's Speech of Accept
ance.)
The Republican party believes in the
equality of all men before the law;
believes in granting labor's every re.
quest that does not seek to accord
rights to one man denied to another.
Fair-minded labor asks no more; no
less, and approves the record of the
Republican party because of that par
tvs acts.
I have helped to make my party's
record in the enactment of the Eight
Hour law, the Employers Liability
act, the statutes to minimize the haz-
ard of railroad employees, the Child
Labor law for the District Of Columbia
and other enactments designed especial
~ to improve the conditions Of labor.
| cannot hope to better state my posi-
ton on injunctions than by specific
endorsement of Mr.. Taft's Cincinnati
declaration on that subject. That en-
dOrSement l make.
