FROM THE
A FARMERS CAMPAIGN FUND.
MIR. BRYArV'S PAPER

To the Farmers of the United
States: The first contribution made
TO the Democratic campaign fund this
year, so far as we know. was made by
an Iowa farmer. Just before the Den
yer convention met this man, VINO
modestly prefers not to have his name
mentioned. journcyed more than one
hundred miles TO Lincoln with his
contribution of 500. which he left
with Mr.. Bryan to be given to the
committee when organized for the
campaign.
Thi farmer was born In Sweden
and lor some time after he was
naturaized was a member of the Re
publican party, but he was n student
OF public questions and in the course
of time became Democrat lie has
been reader of The Commoner since
its establishment, and TO manifest his
deep interest In the success Of the
party and in this triumph Of Demo
cratic principles, he made this free.
will offering TO the campaign fund,
1t is very appropriate that the first
contribution should come from that
great body Of our population known
as agrlculturalists. for the farmer has
nothing to gain by privilege and IA
voritism his hope Is in the application
OF the doctrine Of equal rights TO all
and special privileges to none tie
has been victim Of all special legis-
latiun, and has suffered from the con.
troll OF politics by the great predatory
corporations. Now that the Democrat.
&c party has announced its determine.
ton not To accept contributions from
corporations, not TO accept excessive
contributions even from individuals,
and to publish all contributions above
q reasonable minimum. It ought to be
able TO secure sufficient campaign
fund from those patriotic citizens who
ask from the government nothing but
protection TO their rights and consider
alton for the general welfare. There
are hundreds Of thousands of farmers
who are abundantly able to contribute
TO the campaign fund. There are
thousands who could give 800 apiece
without feeling It; there are tens OF
thousands who could give $50 apiece
without sacrifice and stlll more who
could give SIS or $40 or So.
As the national committee has not
yet been organized. we will ask The
Commoner to call for subscriptions to
this farmers fund, Those giving can
indicate whether they are willing to
have their names mentioned and, II
the contribution is not more than 800,
their wishes will be complied with.
All contributions above 800 must be
made known, no matter from whom
they come.
The farmers fund will be turned
over to the national committee as
soon as its permanent officers have
been selected Who will be the first
10 respond? The Denver convention
was a peoples convention; It adopted
a strong. clear, honest platform. and
It's nominations were made with prac.
teal unanimity Our fight is a fight
for the whole people. Our aim is
equal and exact justice to all; our
purpose is to restore the government
to the hands OF the freely chosen
representatives of the voters, How
many farmers will Join In furnishing
the fund necessary to present the is
sues?

THE vIcE.PREsIpENcY.

In an article printed recently in an
eastern magazine Mr. Bryan expressed
the opinion that the Office Of vice
president did not carry the RESPONSE.
bility TO which It was entitled and that
the vicc.presdent should have more
activity In public life. Newspaper
correspondents made much Of this
statement, SEEMING to regard 1t as n
piece of news 50 far as MIR Bryan's
opinions are concerned.
Long ago Mr.. Bryan expressed him.
SELF plainly. on this point. In the
first issue of The Commoner. Janu.
airy %, 1901. Mr.. Bryan printed the
following editorial
1T has been minated that Vice.
Prcsidcnt-eleCt Roosevelt Ia desirious
Of receiving more consideration at the
hands of the president than has, as a
rule, been given those occupying his
position Whether or not the report
Is true is not material. but the ambi.
ton, II he does entertain 1t, is an On.
tircly worthy one.
"Why has the vicc.president heen
so generally ignored by the president
in the past? It is said that Mr.,
breckenridge was only consulted once
by President buchanan and then only
in regard to The phraseology OF II
Thanksgiving proclamation. This in.
cidCni was related ~ later vice
president who was noted for his skill
at rcpartee and he replied, with n
twinkle in his eye: Well. there is one
more Thanksgiving day before my
term expires.
According 10 the constitution the
vice president succeeds to the ONCE
in case the president dies, resigns, is
removed. or becomes unable to dis.
charge the duties of the Office. The
public good requires that he should be
thoroughly informed as to the details
of the administration and ready To
take up the work Of the executive at
a moments notice The ce.prcsident
ough, to be eX.utticio, member Of the
presidents cabinet, he ought 10 sit
next to the president In the council
chamber. Receiving his nomination
from n national convention, and his
commission from the people. he is
able to furnish the highest proof that
he enjoys the public respect and con.
fidcncc and the president should avail
himself OF the wisdom and discretion
Of such an adviser. While the re
spousibllity for action rests upon the
occupant Of the White House he Is
entitled to. and. OF course, desires all
the light possible before deciding on
any question.
Congress can by law impose upon
the vice-presidcnt the duty Of giving
such assistance to his chief. or the
president can of his own yolton es.
tablish the precedent and II would in
all probability DO observed by his sue.
cessOTs.
MANY public men have avoided the
second place on the ticket for fear 1t
would relegatc them tQ obscurity;
some of Col Roosevclts friends OBJ
iectcd to his nomination on that
ground. A cabinet position has gen.
orally been considered more desir.
able than the vice.presidency, but the
latter in dignity and importance is, in
fact, only second to the presidency
and the occupant deserves the prom
inence and prestige which would come
from more intimate official association
with the executive"

SHOWS UP BLUFF"
LlTrLEFiELD REClTES FACTS
ABOUT TRUST BUSTING.
Republican Congressman In Speech
Demonstrates How Little Real
Good Has Been Accom-.
plished In the Matter

II shows the strange vicissitudes OF
the politics of today when Congress
man Littleheld of Maine, whom the
labor people tried so hard TO defeat
two years age, and who Speaker Can
non and Sherman, the present Rcpub-
lican candidate for vlce-president, sue
ceeded in electng should now be
caustically criticising President Roose-
welt and his administration. Speaking
before the Illinois Bar association, he
points out that but seven convictions
had been secured under the Sherman
law since September IA, 1901, when
President Roosevelt became president,
although Senator Lodge in the Repub-
liCau national convention declared that
President Roosevelt had enforced the
laws as he found them on the statute
book. The Republican platform con
graduates the country on the enforce.
mcnt of all the laws. But says Mr.
Littleneld:
"In the light of cases have cited to
you It would seem that proclamation
and not performance constitutes en-.
forccmcnt OF the law"
That hit from the shoulder at PresI.
dent Roosevelt, showing his boasting
of performances that have been but
feebly accomplished and the greater
boast Of the Republican platform upon
which Taft is straddling, shows how
little confidence can be placed in Re.
publican declarations and Republican
politicians.
Referring to the amendment prom.
iscd in the Republican platform to the
antitrust law, Congressman LIttlefeld
further said:
when II becomes necessary TO give
force TO law by that process, the act
does not commend Itself to my good
judgment. The amendment is said to
have the object OF requiring all cor.
porations or individuals, who seek to
get the benefit OF its provisions, to
register themselves with the bureau
of corporations that they may have
conferred upon them benefits and pro-
visions that do not now exist under the
law
Il am at all times opposed to placing
In the hands of any bureau the power
to supervise and regulate the business
OF 100000 people. But the most
serious legal objection is the TACT that
It would invalidate the penal character
of the act. II this was invalidated
there would not be enough of the act
left for any extended discussion"
But the most startling statement OF
this Republican congressman was the
acknowledgment that the trusts and
their magnates had escaped justice.
for he declared:
ut may be that the predatory rich
are lurking in every corner and that
malefactors Of great wealth abound.
II this be true, and they have been
going about seeking whom they may
devour,' the extent to which the wick.
ed have thus far gone unwhipped OF
Justice borders upon the grotesQue."
And yet in view of these facts the
president and the Republican party
audaciously claim to be trust busters.
when at the same time the hands of
the Republican managers are reeking
with the filthy lucre of the trusts and
corporations.

VIII the Roosevelt admirers who are
supporting Mr.. Taft be deceived or
will the Wall street supporters of Mr..
Taft be deceived? The answer to this
may be found by carefully studying
and finding out how often Wall street
has been deceived in the candidate 1t
supported.
