VOTE FOR BRYAN

PERTINENT REASONS Why STATE
OPPOSES MR. TAFT.

y
name be used with the story. w.
r. Wheeler, an enthusiastic
Democrat of Anadarko, Ok. has
written for The Republic nine
teen reasons to show why his
State opposes Taft and wants
Bryan elected.
His principal objection to Mr..
Taft is because of the latter S
alleged leaning toward capital.
The reasons are:
Because Bryan Represents the
common people; Taft the whole
aggregation of corporate wealth.
Because Taft has entered into
a special contract with capital to
furnish the Republican campaign
fund.
Because we know that a man
cannot serve two masters. Mr..
Taft, having a special contract
with capital, and only an implied
contract with the people, certain
ly will comply with the special
contract and say to the people:
go hence; / never knew you. /"
Because we are not in favor of
chattel slavery.
Because we know the man who
is supported by corporate wealth
is the man for US to be against,
for, verify, who is not for us
is against us"
Because Taft advised the
people of Oklahoma to reject our
Constitution and defeat state
hood, and still support the politl-
cal leeches inflicted upon us by
the Federal Government.
Because the Republican party
has been reduced by capital to a
lifetime servitude.
Because the earnings of labor,
under Republican rule, are not
proportionate to the earnings of
capital.
Because the Republican party,
being a servant of capital, COM
pels labor to pay tribute to capital.
Because the Republican engi-
neers of the financial train be-
came so reckless they dashed it
right into the brokers and break
ers of Wall street and demolish-
ed it so badly it had to lay off
many months for repairs, and
still the machinery is old.
Because the Republican party
believes both in contraction and
expansion-contraction e the
peoples rights and expansion of
the rights of cepital.
Because the Republican party
spends too much time dressing,
combing and primping her favor
ite son, The Tariff, until ke has
become a full-grown man, fat
and strong, but Still exacts his
mothers care, notwithstanding
her hand has become withered,
her face plowed with many fur
rows, and the frets of many
winters settled on her silvery
locks. Yet still she dotes on him
and neglects many of her other
children, while they go ragged
and dirty.
Because the political guns of
Republicanism would no more
meet Bryan on issues of political
economy than Satanic fishermen
on the River Styx would meet
the god of peace on the golden
streets of the New Jerusalem.
Because the office of President
would not add one flower to the
wreath of honor Bryan already
wears.
Because Bryan has been un-
daunted while the lightning of
political war played fast and
thick around him, remained cool
and collected while the cyclones
of finance were shaking the in
dustries of nation.
Because Bryan comes like the
Prince of Peace, and Taft like
the Demon of war.
Because we are specially op-
posed to dictation and succession
of the executive Office.
Because the honest voters in
Republican party are sick and
tired of a Government run In the
interest of the few. to the great
