Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1908-10-29

why you should vote for Mr. BRYAN
rather than for Mr. Taft. The first pf
these will impress you more the more
you think it over. suppose yoa all
|can remember the time you went to
school. and We're told, after yoa haa
been III school few days. that eFerT
can give a government the most ef
boy in our broad land had chance
to be President of the United States.
II You figured ii cut and it is prob
lem IN higher mathematics. Won fisfd
that only one boy in 10000 900 has
chance to be President of the United
States. | suppose that the breast of
every boy as he heard that statement
swelled with pride, and he believed
that he would be the President some
day.
IT is seldom that boy gets
chance to be this, but a boy who keeps
this in mind will get habits of useful
ness, industry and sobriety, and be
anxious, because Of them, to do the
very best he can.
Now then, if the policy by which
Mr., Taft was nominated is endorsed
a boy will have only one chance ii
120.000,000 of becoming President 81
the United States. He was not the
choice of the people of the United
States. but of President Roosevelt.
Mr.. Roosevelt is man OF great
sagacity, man of great acunsen, q
great politician, and he selected q
man that he believed would be best
for the country, and say that in doing
this he invaded right Of the boys
and men of the United States
To get him nominated Mr.. Roose-
welt used all Of his Federal patronage.
Do you realize what this is? DO you
realize that IN the past year %: TOO
men have been appointed to office to
fill not only the old places, but this
many absolutely new Offices, and that
these were filed directly or indirectly
by the President of the United States
Compare this number with the 10.
274 new Offices created by Mr.. Cleye-
land and Mr.. Mckinley altogether.
In the seven years of Mr.. Rooseveltss
time in Office $4,000 new offices have
been filed, and largely are the ap-
pointees Of the President.
This means that the ones who se-
cured Taft.s nomination were not only
these 95,9VV: but sSssys Il ards rf Old
offices he had un6er his control in asi-
dition, and say that such thing IS
unfair from the President of the United
States
Now the situation is such that we
have the whole scheme unfoIded.
Son-in-law Longworth said that the
plan was that Taft should be elected
and reelected, and then Roosevelt was
to be elected again, and I suppose mod
esty forbade Longworth to say that he
then would be President himself.
say that this Is wrong.
7 suppose that there are those who
say that Mr.. Bryan should not have
been nominated again, but the people
who went to that Denver convention
went there with their hearts on the
nomination of their leader That was
d spontaneous outburst on the parts
of the Democratic voters that he be
and that desire was voted
for. and Mr.. Bryan is being supported
by united Democracy all over the
United States at this time # Mr.
Taft is elected he will in many re-
spects be the agent of Mr. Roosevelt
He has done nothing in this campaign
that has not been assented TO By Mr.
Roosevelt. Mr.. Roosevelt revised his
speech of acceptance. and the Presi-
dent has written many letters that
should have come from the pen af
Mr.. Taft
The Roosevelt policies are the kind
that no Democrat can find much fault
with, and many OF them were Mr.
Bryan's himself But let me tell you
that there is a difference in the en-
forcement of them by Bryan and
Roosevelt. He has admitted that he
has prosecuted some trusts and not
others. | say that if you believe in
Mr.. Roosevelt's policies you will find
they will be carried out great deal
better by Mr. Bryan than BY R0ose
velt, and. therefore, / believe that you
will cast your ballot for Mr.. BryaH
rather than for Mr.. Taft.
1'The Republican party has been
in absolute control for over dozen
years They have had a Republican
House Of Representatives a Republi-
can Senate and Republican execu
tive. | don't believe virtue IS an asset
of any party. In these Republican sue
cesses of the past twelve years there
have been elected men. not there 10
represent their constituents, but there
as the secret agents Of the trusts
The men that have been at the head
of these trusts have played With these
Senators and Congressman as chess
upon a chess board and checkers upon
a checker board IF Mr. Taft is elected
these men will return TO again carry
on the same methods they have been
guilty of for the past twelve years.
