an and Taft is in doubt and urging
that extra effort be put forth from
now until the election by the repub-
lican managers in the doubtful states
IL they would hope for success.
The fact that In the states where
Roosevelt received his greatest ma
jorities four years ago is the battle
ground of the present campaign
leaves no doubt OF revolt of the
people against the policies of the re
publican party under which the gov
eminent has become but little less
than a business asse. of the protect
ed and monopolistic industries of the
country. known as the trusts.
Ohio. the home Of Taft. is today
claimed as absolutely doubtful and so
placed by the New York Herald. the
highest and most conservative politi-
cal authority among the independent
newspapers of the country.
Indiana gave to Roosevelt four
years ago majority of sS.s4f4 over
the democratic candidate. Today In
diana is regarded as certain to give
Bryan it's electoral vote; il is regard
ed as being as sure for Bryan as Ken,
lucky and Missouri.
Illinois was another state which
gave a jumbo majority for Roosevelt
in 1904. Today Illinois is placed in
the doubtful column by the independ-
ent press of the country. The great
labor vote of that state is enthusiasts
tic for the democratic candidate and
this vote alone is believed to be suffi-
cient to insure Bryan majority
there.
New York is today regarded as the
battle ground for the remainder Of
the campaign, whereas Roosevelt had
a majority of 1852 in that state.
So acute is the republican alarm in
tina, state it is now proposed thar
President Roosevelt go there for his
mightest effort TO avert a reputation
of my policies"
With these great republican strong
holds tottering and fable TO fall into
the democratic column, what may be
expected IN other states where repub-
lican majorities haveN not been SO
large? The condition. in New York,
Indiana. Ohio and Illinois shows that
many thousands of voters throughout
the country are desc ring the party
of Roosevelt, Beverage, Cannon and
the trusts. Republican managers know
that the people are in revolt against
their party and they are striking wild
ly. but with little organization. IN
a desperate effort to save themselves
from utter rout .-... rs
President Roosevelt canpot now
help Tat IN New Verb or any other
state the troubles now besetting
Taft is the failure Of the republican
party and Roosevelt 10 make good
during eight years in the reforms
which have been promised and pro
claimed through the country as my
policies
The people. of thIs country are
growing tired Of promises of reform
without effort to fulfil them: they
are tired of promises of tariff revis-
ion for eight years With absolutely no
move to free the Country from pro-
tected monopoly; they are tired OF a
system of government which lays the
greatest burden on the laboring man
and consumer while the monopolies
grow sleek and fat in the enjoyment
of a protective tarT which excludes
all possible foreign competition while
the trust combinations at home
strangles home eadeavor and compe.
titiou.
The people of Arizona are of the
same blood and mind found in the
states: while we may not vote for
either Bryan or TaEt. we may record
our votes for the ckastisement of the
republican party; We may. by voting
tls democratic ticket. show that the
reforms for which Rryan is now now
making his great fight in the states,
has the approval of the people of the
near-state of Arizona: we may avail
Ourselves of the opportunity TO re-
luke the party. which tried to de-
prive us Of the rIghs Of self-govern-
! mentment by Joining us with New
Mexico IN Joint statehood.
Arizona may share the great dem
ocratic victory which IS assured IN
The nation fru nnholdfnn The democrat.
