A upvisht Jaass,

The nttemp, to make the Republicsn
candidate out the enemy Of labor fails
In the light OF tho facts. Judge Taft
has demonstrated that M u judge he
did what the law required him TO do,
and n he had done otherwise he would
have been entitled 10 no rrrpec, from
the labor or amy other interests. Some
OF his decisions have provided the
ground upon which labor orRanina tions
have protected themselves, and have
been cited on the labor sid. of subss.

seeking to NisIsad Labor.

From the very beginning Of the can
paign there has been concerted Demo-
cratic effort to mlsrepresent Judge Taft
on questions pertaining TO labor inter.
ests. His judicial decisions have bssa
distorted. and faisehoods invented.
In his canvass OF the West Judgs
Taft has devoted considerable attention
to this subject with good effect. He
has not been npolosetic. for there 10
nothing In his record that needs apol-
ogy. lie has not been on the defensive
because no one on the bench who does
only what the law requires him TO DO
needs defense. lie has made clear his
position-mnde II clear that II was
helpful and not burtful TO iabor-and
turned back faisehood and misreprs-
sentntlon.

The Republican party has kept its
promises Through its legislation there
has been disbmsed in the payment of
pensions on account of the Civil war,
to June 80, 1908, $3,533, ,593, ,025.95, and
there were on the pension rolls on the
last date 633,33S veterans of the Civil
war and total Of 9GI 81 pensioners of
all wars and classes, and on June
80, 1905, there were approximately on
the pension rolls, 60, 900 surviving uet-
erdnS.
All the civilized nations of the earth
combined have not eIualed the United
States in liberaIlty in granting pensions,
bounties, homcstcnds and land war
rants, providing homes, etc, for war
veterans. The appropriation for the
present fiscal year, for paying pensions,
is SlG2,O0O, O,0O0,OO-more than onciifth
of the entire revenue of the govern
ment.
No man who was not old enough to
be a factor in that great struggle could
give his heart and soul more completely
to the welfare and wellbeing OF the vet
Grams who fought for liberty and right
In the days of 'dl to 90, than Mr.. Taft.
He is the recognized and distinguished
friend of the old soldier and is pledged
TO carry out Republican policy in a
generous manner towards the Grand
Army OF the Republic. lie has never
been too busy 10 see the veteran and
listen with sympathetic interest to his
just demands. Taft, as President, will
be an abiding fast friend TO all the

on the question Of negro disfran-
chisemcnt Bryan, Of Nebraska. and Till
man of South Carolina, stand shoulder
TO shoulder. Mr.. Bryan has defined his
attitude IN the following language:
The white man In the south has dis
franchiScd the negro in self-protection.
The white men Of the south are de-
termincd that the negro shall be dis
franchised everywhere II necessary to
prevent the recurrence of the horrors
of carpetbag rule"
Senator Tillman has spoken even
more frankly, ns witness the following:
I'VE stuffed ballot boxes and we shot
negroes. We are not ashamed Of It,"
In the south Mr. Bryan poses as the
special friend Of the negroes and as.
surcs them that his election ns presi.
dent will be greatly to their advantage.
Senator Tlllmnn also insists that he is
their best friend. Both of these emf
nent Democrats would prove their
friendship for the negro by robbng him
OF his constitutional rights.
That the intelligent negro citizens OF
northern states should vote for Mr..
Bryan In spite OF his open approval OF
the disfranchisement OF their fellow
negroes OF the south is simply unbe-
lIcvnble. As well might they be ex-
pccted to vote for the restoration OF
slavery

Known by Its Fruits.
The Republican party never has had
factions within itself concerning issues
II has been unanimous in knowing what
1t stood for. There is something about
the Republican party that sends things
mp above par, and something about the
Democratic party that sends things
down below par. Above par Is sun
light, summer hope and plenty. Above
par is the fire light dancing on the
walls OF contcntment, TO the song OF
the kettle singing on the hearth OF

A DnmninR Record.
The people. Of this country only once
In nearly n half century have listened
TO Democratic promises, followed Dem
oCratic advice, and placed that party
In power. During that Democratic ad-
minlstratIon our national debt increased
a half million dollars each day. Each
day we lost half million dollars In
foreign trade; farm products decreased
more than S50O.C00.OO0. Fear. distrust
and panic paralyzed the great Industrial
system OF our country; banks closed
their doors; business houses assigned /;
the balance OF trade was against us
bonds were issued capital withdrew
from the field Of legitimate enterprise
Into secret places labor was forced In
to unwilling idleness; we had deserted
mills, smokeless factories, silent ma
chinery.
What has the Democratic party done
to command confidence that gives II a
right to assume TO advise the American
people. The Democratic party asks al.
ways to be judged by the future and not
by the past II always asks to be
judged by It's promises and not by its
performances. why should party
that brought upon us the horrors OF the
Cleveland administration, that went
hysterlcal over free silver, a party that
has learned nothing In hfty years, that
has forgotten nothing in fifty years, q
party that has not kept q promise In
fifty years, party that has not been
right In Hfty years--why should this
party assume that with II wisdom
shall perish from the earth1
The Democratic party always has ita

future. II never sees an opportunity

REPUBLICAN PARTY
FRIEND OF THE WORKER
Statistics Compiled by President q
Bookbinders' Union Prove the
Assertion.
Striking Contrast Between the Dssds
Of the Republican Lawmakers
and the Democratic Leg
islators.

One Of the issues in every campaign
Is that Of labor legislation. All parties
claim to be the friend of labor, and 1t IL
but natural that this would bring out
the facts.
This year the Democratic party Is do
ing more claiming than ever before along
this line, and this has led James Feeney,
president of Washington Union No. 4,
international Brotherhood of Bookbind-
ers, to compile some statistics which
speak for themselves. Mr.. Feeney Il one
of the best known and most highly re-
spected labor leaders in the national cap
ital, and his word is always accepted
with those who know him.
Many Records Taken.
Mr.. Feeney has taken the records Of
the various states for the purpose of nnd-
ing out what laws have been passed and
by what party they were enacted. He has
taken ten laws, including those creating
labor bureaus, public employment agen-
cies, state boards of arbitration; also
eight-hour laws, child labor laws (mini-
mum age), child labor laws might work. },
women's labor laws, seats for shop girls
laws, anti-sweat shop laws and laws for
protection of unions.
In every one Of these laws the labor
union has furnished the incentive for the
passage, it being the most vitality inter-
ested.
Majority Is Republican.
Mr.. Feeney shows that in the case Of
each law the great majority Of the states
which have passed them are Republican.
This is true to a remarkable degree.
For instance, in the case of the eight
hour law, eighteen states have them, six
teen being Republican states and two
Democratic states.
Another instance is in the case Of laws
tfNs, tnlN t.tnsA thar hair oh
laws in fifteen states, fourteen Of which
are Republican.
