corruption fund-the railroads-want to EN-
ploy cheap labor.
Ha packed the convention of his party with
his federal appontees and re-established the
| law of primogenlture and entail destroyed by
the fathers, by quit claiming all to his Oldest
cebinet officer, Taft to do his bidding and
carry out his contracts and 'policies" with
Hartman, evidenced by the nomination of the

vice president, and his letter and the other

his election.
And when caught red-handed with the goods
on him by Judge Parker, he supplants reason
and Judgment with the retort of liar, ana

He and his lineal heir, Mr.. Taft, who made

now support and stand for policies that are
demanded by the trusts, against those of
the bone and sinew Of the nation.
Full Faith in Bryan
II I thought Mr. Bryan would carry out the
Roosevelt policies Roosevelt has carried
them out for the big thieves, by making

that the Santa Fe-Southern Pacific pooling
agreement and the forest reserve scheme should
be lost sight of by the American people,
would cut off that right hand before would
put cross opposite his name on the Dallot
on election day.
Within the last few days the banking trust
met. and we read that it condemns the guar
anty bank deposit plan
Why, what did you expect 1t would do?
The guaranteeing of bank deposits is simply
taking away one OF the special privileges that
the bankers have been enjoying under Repub-
lican rule. Now this guaranteeing of bank
deposits is nothing more nor less than this:
1t is simply requiring the bank to guarantee
the return OF the money that they get from
you and me when it Is payable. Is there any
thing wrong in that?
For Workers to Consider
And want to ask you. iaboringmen, what
claims this pretended trust buster and his
chosen successor, Mr.. Taft have upon your
franchise2
Less than two years ago he did everything
he could to flood this coast with the Japanese,
because his chief campaign contributor, Har-
riman, wants cheap labor. There are 100000
Japanese this coast now, and more than
Is 900 in Southern California. competing with
the labornig men and women In every field
of action.
He forced the nomination Of the man of all
men In America who is responsible for the
iniqultes Of the injunction that throws you
in Jail first and denies you trial by jury
afterward
These two practical men''-representing
Morgan and Rockefeller and Hartman and
Hill-were in absolute control of the Chicago
convention and turned deaf ear to your
every appeal You asked for bread, and they
gave you stone.
What are you going to do about it on No

What have you farmers in common with
these campaign contributors and trust pro-
The. Dingley tariff, kept up by the trusts,
compels you to pay 40 per cent more for all
your farming and cooking utensils than the
foreigner can buy the same goods for. Then
the Canadian or Argentine wheat raiser sells
in the market you do, for the same
price. But he is permitted to buy his tools
and necessities in an unprotected market to
his advantage over you of the excessive tariff
of 40 per cent. In other words, he pays 40 per
cent less for his farming implements than you
do while you are compelled to buy from the

oil trust.
In six years you have paid $3.50. OoO, 600 profit

Owned by Southern Pacific
The Republican party in this state--the
Southern Pacific railway, owned and controlled
by Morgan and Rockefeller and Harriman-has
submitted constitutional amendment No. l,
that will relieve 1t and all its subsidiary cor
porations from taxation for internal improve
ments, such as municipal railways, ana water
ways, and canals, and water for domestic usei
and will put the burden of taxation entirely
upon you farmers and merchants mechanics
and toilers for these necessities.
This is in line and keeping with the ma
tional policy of the Republican party. This
is what they call Roosevelt policies"
For thirty years these policies have been
practiced in this nation and state. And for
thirty years you have been deceived and plum
dered until your highways have been appro-
priated, your harbors have ben bottled and
your coast line seized. Your avenues of COM
merce have been cut Off by illegal combinations
and extortionate exactions. Your legislatures
have been debauched. Your boards of equal
ization and supervisors are now selected from
the paid servants of Hartman. Your repre-
sentatves in congress and the senate are the
former attorneys of Hartman. Your most val
liable rights and franchises have been secured
by Hartman for his and profit to
the exclusion of enjoyment by your citizens
What are you all going to do about these
things on November 8? Are you going to
throw your votes away by voting for Debs,
or Hearst and Hisgen, or are you going to
vote for the trusts and the trust candidates,
Taft and Sherman? Or are you going to vote
to emancipate yourselves?
