The Democrats are more ag- (.
gressive in this campaign than
they have been any time since
1892. Furthermore the party is
as thoroughly united, Except
our little Idaho). determined, and
harmonious as it was in that
famous campaign which resulted
IN a great Democratic landslide. 4,
Mr.. Bryan has shown great pol
ltical sagacity in choosing an
Eastern man, Mr.. Norman E. h
Mack, of Buffalo, who is thor
identified with the old .
Cleveland wing of the party, to {
his campaign and. who {
at the same time is a devoted and {
loyal follower of the eloquent
Ne6raskan. 1t is evident that $
the Democrats are going to as I
sumo the aggressive. from the c
start to finish, and they are 60 c
ing to assault and storm the Re I
publican breast-workS along the V
line. While Mr.. Roosevelt has d
been popular and patriot presi- T
dent, they point to the fact that I
the Republican party at heart is L
rs bitterly opposed TO him as it
s to Bryan. In fact the Repub-
icdn party is so thoroughly we'd
led to the trusts and corporate
and to the interests of i
what Mr.. Roosevelt calls the c
wealthy malefactors" that Mr.. n
Roosevelt has been utterly un- S
lble to accomplish any good for F
he country. The Great Stand ,
Ird Oil fine of $50. 100000 has h
'een set asid by Standard Oil A
Republican Judges and thus de- a
,rived the Republicans of the c
My legitimate evidence of real h
esults yet accomplished by the Il
Roosevelt administration. In d
act the Republicans in this cam ST
'aign cannot point TO a single a:
rust that has been busted by
he administration. nor can it in
oint to a single item of relief w
hat has been afforded the people II
s the result of the Republican I'll
administration. Mr.. Roosevelt ju
as gained popularity only by ol
arrying out Mr.. Bryan's ideas, W
'hich are incorporated in the m
democratic platform as well, but to
re absent from the Republican "
latform, so if the people want sc
alief they must look to the Dem al
or,at r. and not m PanpbIinanS y.
