truth:
..rr Is THE HUGE SIZE OF PRI-
yArE FORTUNES, THE VAST Elk
TENT AND POWER OF CoMBINA-
r1oNs OF CAPITAL, MADE POSI-

Think Of Il; after half century Of al
most uninterrupted republican rule W
find our social and political welfar
threatened, and our perconal freedom
jeopardized. In q single generation W
have passed from industrial freedom b
Industrial oligarcy. This statement ha
been plainly made, in language unmis

and weaken the candidacy Of Taft, wa
reiterated by Hon. Henry F. Cochem
Of Wisconsin In presenting the nam

day as q republican, but who Is tn
embodiment Of all there is or ever wa
IN populism.
There is no effort made by the lead
ing republicans to conceal a condition
that has threatened tho common pee
pie and which they have cried on
against for years. It is a condition
borne Of a republican womb after a
incubation Of nearly half century
