forms and Mr.. Bryan's speeches.
There is not single one that is
advocated by Mr.. Roosevelt of
any Importance but what was
taken from Mr.. Bryan's teach
ings. However, the fact has
been clearly established that the
Republican party is running
away from Mr.. Roosevelt's poll
cies. This is shown to some ex-
tent by the nomination of James
). Sherman as the running mate
of Mr.. Taft. Mr.. Sherman is in.
terested in dozens of trusts and
has been collector of campaign
funds for the Republican party
for many years. This only goes
to show that the Republican par
ty intends to stand by the trusts
and that if they are successful,
the tariff will be adjusted in the
interest of the trusts instead of
In the interest of the people.
The treasurer of the Republican
National Committee has succeed
ed in evading the law against
corporation contributions to
campaign expenses. He has dis
covered that while the corpora
lions cannot contribute to the
Republican campaign fund, there
Is nothing to prevent the secre-
tary or any of the members of
the board of directors of these
great concerns from contribut.
ing. AS there is absolutely no
enthusiasm in the Republican
campaign whatever this year,
the Republicans are proceeding
to squeeze all the money they
can out of corporations, such as
the beef trust, the steel trust, the
harvester trust, the Standard
Oil trust, and so on, so they are
depending on the power of a big
corporation fund to carry the
election against Mr.. Bryan. But
the people are not likely to be
bought up this time as many
were in the days of Mark Hanna.
1t is said that the farmers of the
country are sending money or
ders to Mr.. BrS an by the mail
bag full and that every day, he
gets from one to two bags of
mail from farmers, ranging from
one to two dollars a piece. This
is mighty good plan.

1t is most remarkable thing
that the Democrat campaign
book just issued, contains no
criticism, or censure whatever

peculiarities of politics. A still
