DEMOCRATS I'M ACTION.

Democracy for president has allowed
no time to be wasted. and the careful
perusal of his acts show that he has
studied carefully each topic OF interest.
In his Iowa speech Mr.. Bryan put
the enemy TO the bench for failure to
take up the work Of tariff reform. and
his broadside into the party pledging
the reformation of its own iniquitous
abuses has created CONSERVATION
among the spell-binders of that faction
trying TO make someone believe the
Rcsevelt promises will be fulfilled.
Did you ever stop to reflect this
tariff the Republicans ask lease of life
TO change was levied by this same
party and faction of the party?
Did you ever think this pledge to do
something by Taft comes with poor
grace from one who claims Teddy has
already the world?
VIII. II President Roosevelt, with a
brutal majority in the legislative
branch of the government. cannot curb
or control trusts, can we expect the
shambing Taft to do so?
The statement that the people have
already ruled this country cones with
poor grace from one who is the can
didate OF a party refusing to allow the
people right to choose their own
United States senators, and refusing
to allow publicity of campaign contri-
buttons,
What need of Mr. Taft, If this Repub-
lican party be the friend of the masses
and having their confidence, to add in
his acceptance speech the great reforms
/ advocated so ably and fearlessly by
( Mr. Bryan?
The thunder Of Democratic artillery
can and should be heard all along the
! line--forcing the fight in every town
ship and voting precinct in the United
/ States. There Is no need OF apology
I the people know the Denver platform
Is the greatest exponent of sound
I Democratic doctrine since the days of
Monroe and the voters well under
stand that Mr.. Bryan will, so far as
lies in his power. enforce each plat
form provision.
There is no other pledge for popu-
/ lar government before the people for
consideration The private pledge of
/ Mr. Taft shows the shilly-shally sort
OF president he void make. AS the
chosen head Of his party he is still
making pledges after he had accepted
the platform authorized by the dele
gates chosen The candidate OF the
southern states, not a solitary vote
does he expect south of the Ohio and
the Pennsylvania state line. Permitting
Burrows TO slander the president, the
one man who has created him, Mr..
TAFT turns TO Roosevelt and allows the

and also Mr. Roosevelt AS evidence
Of good faith he permitted the nomina'
