Col Felix A. Reeve, Of
Washington.

the unfortunate plight OF Democracy.

cool and Enthusiastically modest in

Mr.. FARMER

YOU think political and in
j dustrial conditions have moth
- ing to do with the price Of farm
products? That it all depends on the
size OF the crops, oh, no, very much
depends on the AMOUNT OF CON
SUMPTION. When thousands OF
men are employed at high wages, their
families are living well, and -four, corn,
eggs, milk. poultry are being heavily
consumed. In other words farm pro-
ducts are then in great demand. and
the great demand brings high prices
Do you want To vote away those high
prices and go back To- the days OF the
Wilson. German tariff. with wheat at
81 cents and corn al 2S cents?

THINK |!

BEFORE you cast your vote ON
Tuesday next, just ask yourself what
Mr. Bryan has EVER DONE FOR
THE PEOPLE. Talk is cheap and
easy Anybody can make promises.
What Is his record oi ACHIEVE
MENT;
ASK yourself what effect his cleo
tion Is likely TO have on industrial con
ditionSs Is labor likely TO be bcne-
ed by scoring capital into hiding; Can
a man afford to risk his chances OF
ga;niul employment by allowing Mr.
Bryan to experiment on our indus
trial conditions;
ASK yourself il the panic OF the past
year i anything To- be compared with
the panic which We are likely to see in
the coming year, il capital is fright
ened into hiding by Mr. Bryan's cleo
tom

WHILE our Democratic friends are
expressing their disapproval OF Presi-
dent Roosevclts participation in this
campaign. on the Republican side,
why do they not pursue their logic to
its legitimate end and show the same
disapproval OF Governor Crothers par
itcipation on the Democratic side II
MIR Roosevelt is President OF the
whole people OF these United States
without distinction in party, is not Mr..
Crothers Governor OF the whole pco-
pie of Maryland, without distinction

1T looks as il il were all over but
the shouting Mr.. Bryan is crying
bought elrrtion." That is always
his stock excuse for leading the De
mocratic party to repeated and over
whelming defeat But it won't go this
year. Everybody knows that neither
party has had really enough money
for the great expenses OF National
campaign. The fact is that Mr.. Bryan
sees how the great masses OF the peo-
pie are turning, in fright, away from
his catch phrases and dangerous here
sizes. and he proceeds to insult them
by charging that they are being
bought

Mr.. Bryan's record, as traced by Mr..
Taft. in simple. forceful and convinc-
ing language. is one OF agitation, of
failure, OF disturbance OF business-a
record OF promises and propositions
which, il embodied in legislation,
would have brought disaster upon the
country. II is. perhaps, natural that
Mr.. Bryan. il he is merely an oppor-
tunisi. should desire TO eliminate his
record from the issues Of this cam
paign But he cannot. The over
shadowing issue Of the contest this
year is Organism and all that word
means. politically and economically.

of how CaImack, who now resides in
