One of the victims was Samuel w

EuStNESS RIGHTS.

Most people have hazy idea as to
tie last congress TO do and what he
has said Mi Bryan would do for labor
In event of his election.
One of the things which the last con-
g-ess was asked 70 do ana which it re-
fused to do was to pass law which
should withdraw from the courts the
right to restrain by injunction any
boycott OF any sort, aud to do this by
limiting the use of the injunction to
property rights and furthermore en-
acting that: No right to carry on
business OF any particular kind. or at
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1908-11-02

any particular place, or at all. shall
be construed. held, or considered or
treated as property, or as constituting
property right"
Mr.. Bryan has not contradicted this.
He wishes the support OF Mr.. Gompers
On the strength of it.
The right to carry on business is
what makes property valuable. Mr..
Bryan and the democratic party have
pledged themselves to take this right
away from the citizens of the United
States. 1t is as inalienable right as
the right to live. Is that your idea of
prosperity? Is that Mr.. Bryan's per
manent prosperity?' If so, do you
want it?

america. Mr.. E. G. Hill of this city

Mr.. Hill In speaking about the

Mr.. Hill states the E. G. Hill Floral
company OF which he is president will

English roses and all the new and

Mr.. Hill was one of the originators

working up interest among foreign
flower men which he did in a most
creditable manner.

WHICH?
These are the state issues.

The difference between Bryan and
Taft must have struck every one
Fundame ntal differences of character
they are.
Bryan Is a man who is an ideal can
didate. He has a wonderful voice, a
effective diction, a personal magnet
ism, mind productive of theories to
help his country, his criticisms are
his arguments, his remedies are repu-
dated even by himself.
Taft is an ideal administrator, he is
a plain spoken man, his words are to
the point. his manner instills conf
dence. his mind deals with facts. his
deeds and the deeds of his party are
his arguments-his remedies are the
ones law enforcement which the re-
publican party has been engaged in.
Bryan's speech in this town set
forth the plea that he had been a poor
man and should therefore be elected
to the chief office of the land. But,
the fact is that Bryan is prosperous
from running for the presidency.
Taft, on the other hand, could have
been a rich man long ago-he prefer
red to serve his country. even to risk,
ing his life in the Philippines. But
Taft does not ask that he be elected
on the grounds Of personal sympathy
He has performed great services for
his country and is trained as no other
man ever was before for the grave
responsibility Of the presidency.
Bryan stands for carping criticism
and mistaken theories.
Taft Is the embodiment of things
, we'll done and constructive govern
ment.

THE STATE ISSUES.

In 1897 the republican party estab-
lished the fundamental principles OF
good government by the establishment
of non-partisan boards of control of
our state institutions.
This did away with boss rule in these
institutions. 1t took away the pawns
Of the "spoils system" Thomas Tag
CART wants these back in his power
Marshall is the whiting Or unwilling
tool who declares for the "spoils sys-
tenn" 1t makes no difference that he
has declared for the bipartisan boards
that makes it impossible to hold any
party responsible without giving the
good results of non-partisan boards.
In 1908 the republican party in the
face of a coming election in pursuance
Of the demand of the people passed
the county local option law which
gave to the people Of the state the
right to decide whether liquor should
be sold in the counties.
This is step to do away with cor
rupt politics and law evasion.
Thomas Taggart wants this law re-
pealed for obvious reasons
In justice to the democratic party, be
it said. that it, too, favored county
local option with the township as a
unit.
AS proof that this is not effective
legislation, it must be known by
every one that the democratic party Is
backed by Thomas Taggart and the
brewery combine. They are afraid to
leave 1t in the hands Of the people.
Are you in favor of the "spoils sys-
tenn" and law evasion?
Or are you in favor of non-partisan
boards and the principle of '1et the
