read what he says upon this subject. you
will find that his promise falls far short
of the requirements of the situation. He
says:
IF 1 am elected President I shall urge
upon Congress, with every hope of sue
cess, that a law be passed requiring the
filing, in a federal Office. of statement
of the contributions received by commit
tees and candidates in elections for mem
bers of Congress. and in such other cleo
lions as are constitutionaly within the
control of Congress-.
shall not embarrass him by asking
him upon what he bases his hope of sue
cess; 1t is certainly not on any encour-
agement he has received from republican
leaders. 1t is sufficient to say that If his
hopes were realized-if, in spite of the
adverse action of his convention, he
should succeed in securing the enactment
of the very law which he favors. it would
give but partial relief. He has read the
democratic platform; not only his Ian
guage, but his evident alarm, indicates
that he has read 1t carefully. He even
had before him the action Of the demo-
cratic national committee in interpreting
and applying that platform. and yet he
fails to say that he favors the publlca-
ton of the contributions before the cleo
ton. OF course, 1t satisfies a natural
curiosity to find out how an election has
been purchased, even when the knowledge
comes too late to be of service, but why
should the people be kept in darkness
until the election is past? Why should
the locking of the door be delayed until
the horse is gone?
AN ELECTION A PUBLIC AFFAIR.
An election is public affair. The peo-
pie exercising the right to select their
officials and to decide upon the policies to
BE- pursued. proceed to their several poll
ing places on election day and register their
will. What excuse can be given for Sc
crecy as to the influences at work? If a
man, pecuniarily interested in "concen-
trsting the control Of the railroads in
one management" subscribes large sum
to aid in carrying the election, why should
his part in the campaign be concealed
until he has put the officials under obi
CATION to him? If trust magnate con-
tributes 100000 to elect political friends
to office, with view to preventing hostile
legislation, why should that fact be con
cealed until his friends are securely seated
in their official positions?
This is not new question: 1t is ques-
ton which has been agitated-a question
which the republican leaders fully under
stand-a question which the republican
candidate has studied. and yet he refuses
to declare himself in favor of the legisla-
ton absolutely necessary. namely. legis-
latior requiring publication before the
election

DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS EARN
ED CONFIDENCE.

If the voters are satisfied with the rec
ord Of the republican party and with its
of public affairs We cannot
reasonably ask for change in admin
istration: IT, however. the voters feel
that the people. as a whole. have too lit
tie influence I'm shaping the policies Of
the government; il they feel that great
combinations Of capital have encroached
upon the rights of the masses and en-
ployed the instrumentalities OF govern
ment to secure an unfair share Of the
total wealth produced. then We have q
right 10 expect verdict against the re-
publican party and i'm favor of the demo-
cratic party: for our party has risked
defeat-aye, suffered defeat-in its effort
to arouse the conscience of the public
and to bring about that very awakening
TO which Mr.. Taft has referred.
Only those are worthy to be intrusted
with leadership in a great cause who are
willing to die for II. and the democratic
party has proven its wort Illness by its
refusal to purchase victory by delivering
the people into the hands of those who
have despoiled them. In this contest be-
tween democracy on the one side and
plutocracy on the other the democratic
party has taken its position on the side
OF equal rights. and invites the oppos-
ton of those who use politics to secure
special privileges and governmental IA

nation. not by the happiness or wealth
or refinement of few. but by the
prosperity and advancement of the aver

the republican party with being the pro-
moter of present abuses. the opponent of
necessary remedies and the only bulwark
of private monopoly. The democratic
party affirms that in this campaign IL is

PUBLICITY AS TO CAMPAIGN
CONTRIBUTIONS.

An effort has been made to secure legis-

contributions and expenditures, but the
republican leaders. even in the face Of an
indignant public, refused to consent to
law which would compel honesty in
elections. When the matter was brought
up in the recent republican national con-
vention the plank was repudiated by a
vote of $50 to o. Here, too, Mr.. Taft
has been driven to apologize for his con-

THE GATEWAY TO OTHEP RE
FORMS.

"Shall the people rule?" Every reme-
dial measure of a national character must
run the gantlet of the Senate. The
President may personally INCLINE toward
a reform: the House may consent to 1t.
but as long as the Senate obstructs the
reform the people must wait The Presi-
dent may heed a popular demand; the
House may yield to public opinion. but as
long as the Senate is defiant the rule Of
the people is defeated. The democratic
platform very properly describes the pop
ular election of senators as ''the gateway
to other national reforms Shall We
open the gate, or shall We allow the ex-
plotting interests to bar the way by the
control of this branch of the federal legis-
lature? Through a democratic victory
and through a democratic victory only,
can the people secure the popular election
of senators. The smaller parties are
unable to secure this reform: the republi-
can party. under it's present leadership. is
resolutely opposed to it: the democratic
party stands for it and has boldly de-
manded 1t. If am elected to the presi-
dency those who are elected upon the
ticket with me will be, like myself. pledg-
ed to this reform, and 1 shall convene
Congress in extraordinary session imme-
diately after Inauguration and ask, among
other things. for the fulfillment of this
