with the republican declaration OF principles may
be briefly stated thus:
The removal of the tariff from trust products.
The physical valuation of railroads as basis for
rates.
The abolition of labor injunctions and jury trial
for indirect contempt Of court.
The rights of the states as opposed to the en-
croachment of the federal government.
Publicity of campaign contributions.

ment of officeholders.
Emergency currency issued by the government
instead Of by the banks and the insurance of bank

The enforcement of the criminal law against
trust officials.
Curtailmenu of the power of the speaker of the
house.
Opposition to the use by the president of
official patronage to nominate his successor.
independence of the Philippine Islands.
Popular election of senators.
An income tax.
Opposition to Asiatic immigration, including the
Japanese.
The republicans sidestep all the important prop
ositons and pass over others gingerly like walking
on eggs, while the democrats talk right out in
meeting" on them ALL
It is noteworthy that the three issues submitted
by the friends of Senator LaFollette- physical val
uation of railroads, publicity of campaign expendi-
lures and popular election of senators which were
joyously turned down by vote of about to 1 in
the Chicago convention, are all in the Denver in
strument.
It is also worthy of notice that the republican in
junction plank suited neither side and called down
the criticism of both capital and labor while the
democratic pronouncement on the same subject is
even more vigorously denounced by the Wall street
patriots, but has the enthusiastic support of Samuel
Gompers and his coworkers in the ranks of organ
| lied labor.
| New York City business houses report great
scarcity of 81 and 81 bills. The great desire for
change in political control would intimate that this
complaint is also prevalent in other sections.
| Democracy demands reform The cry from the
| people has become so urgent that even the repub
licans now state that they are willing to have
some of the reform movements tried. But what
would be the result of reform movement under
republican administration? The idea is absurd
The conspicuous members Of the republican cam
| paign committee are connected with the very
things that need reforming. Note the following
members of the republican committee:
William Nelson Cromwell of New York, the great Wall
street lawyer attorney for the Panama Canal combine
Kuehn Loeb Company the Hartman interests the sugar
| trust Standard Oil trust, ct al
George Rumsey Sheldon of Wall street. multimiionare
and officer and director in than 20 corporations.
/ Frederick w. Upham of Chicago millionaire several
times over member of the state board of review which
passes upon the amount of taxes which corporations and
large estates should pay Illinois and director in several
| corporations.
Charles F. Brooker of Connecticut millionaire engaged
in the banking and railway business and vice president of
the New York, New Haven Hartford Railroad Company
against which government suit is pending.
Frank O. Lowden of Illinois, mu-mlionaire son-in-law
of the late George M. Pullman vice president and
heavily interested in that widely known monopoly the Pull
man Palace Car Company
T. Coleman Du Pont of Delaware, best known as a men,
ber of the Du Powder Company controlling factor in
the powder trust whose milking of the federal treasury in
powder contracts has been thoroughly exposed in congress
and against which suit is pending brought by the
| partment of justice for it's dissolution.
And last but by least the great political
former of Pennsylvania Bois Penrose the political heir
Boss Quay and since the the atters DEATH boss the
currupt political machine in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania
machine which has not been equaed in political turpude
| since the days of Boss Tweed in New York.
If you will read the names of the republican ex-
ecutive committee that are now carrying on this
campaign, you will find that majority of them
are CONSPICUOUS for their connection with the
very corporations that need reform. One of them
Mr.. Du Pont of Delaware, is today the defendant
in suit for conspiracy in violation of the anti
trust law, brought by the United States govern
ment and which is still pending. Mr. Du Pont is
defendant in the action and yet he is one of the
executive committee to carry on the republican
campaign and the chairman Of the speakers
bureau of that committee!
Do YOU expect Mr. Penrose of PENNSYLVANIA who
