| Until the days OF our forefaehers. Kings,
Emperors and Strong Governments, ''held
the people down through their religious
sentiments. They proclaimed that the
ruling families were ordained by God,
that they were Kings and EBnperors by d.
| vine right, and to this day on all the
British and Canada money is the old law
proclaimed, Edward VII, Rex Del
Gratia, King by the Grace Of God Our
Revolutionary fathers denied this di-
vine right of Kings to rule and tax the peo-
pie without representation. They threw
off the yoke aud said, Let the People
Rule" They provided for equality before
all laws, fair field and no favors, AN
equal chance in life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness, ''eoual rights for all and
special privilege for none" They provided
shat thare should be no union of church
aud State in onr country, they tried to
close all the doors which had enslaved and
robbed the workman, the farmer and the toll
ers of their other countries, but they could
not look ahead and provide for protection
against trusts and monopolies, for they did
not exist in those days. For neatly one
hundred years we lived and prospered as
free people, and under equal laws and
equal chances, and under the old flag that
represents that equality, we had few pau
pers, and few extremely wealthy. But,
under Republican administrations and Re-
publican-made unequal laws extended
over nearly forty years, we now have the
286 great trusts with their combined CAPT
sal of almost seven thousand millions OF
dollars, with their representatives in the
Senate and House Of Representatives, and
strongly entrenched in many of our State
Legislatures, with millions Of workingmen
out OF work, confidence destroyed, and
hard times for every one except
trusts and their beneiciaries. And now, to
cap it all, only last week, Republican e. S.
Senator Deliver, of Iowa, proolams from
| the platform that trusts are benifcient
and are working out Gods plans, in other
words, that all trusts are Del Grasiap by
the Grace of God, Divine institutions; and
so we haye the new royalty, the new inn
perialism, trust kings, and again exercising
the Divine right OF kings to rule. Ameri-
can farmers, American workingmeu. Ameri-
can citizens, are you ready for it? Do you
bow TO the King and shout Long live the
King Every vote for Mr.. Taft and mem
Der OF Congress and State Senate and Legis.
la'ure means that you are ready for it.
that you join the Tories TO stand by the
King, and not with Patrick Henry to say
GIVE me liberty or give me death. . We
don't believe the great majority of the
American voters do yield TO this King.
Abraham Lincoln said ''You can fool all
the people part of the time, and part of the
people all the time, but you can't fool all
the people all the time.n Let us not ''be
like dumb driven eattle'' party-blinded led
to the slaughter. Like old King George
with plenty Of money to buy the Hessians
to come over here and crush our ancestors,
these new Trust Kings and their Tory
followers have pleptyof money and are using
it to buy votes to perpetuate their power.
Get TO thinking voters, get TO work voters
from now TO she close of the poles on cleo
tion night. Take tie old flag in your
hand; like that gallant old soldier, Gen'l E.
Burd Grubb and other boys in blue
who have come out and are as truly fight
ing for the old flag and ALL represents as
they did upon the bloody fields Of war.
Rally 'round the flag boys,
Rally once again,
Shouting the battle cry OF freedom"
Follow our second Lincoln, onr man of
the splain people," who says THE People
Shall Rule" Bryan and the whole ticket.
