The attempt of the Taft campaign
managers to convince the voters the
candidate seeks to alleviate and rene
dy the ills brought by contact with the
trusts is laughable but niso alarming.
The republican party has been In com
mand of the executive and legislative
parts OF the government for twelve
years and the congress has usually
responded to the appeal of the presi
dent, save when he was intiinating that
a federal enactment be made to pre-.
vent suffrage of a husband married
four years and not the parent Of five
children. But the reformation and con
quering of the trust evil has not been
accomplished, and II the strenuous
Roosevelt could not perform the ser
vice in seven years, why expect the
ponderous Taft to do IT In four years?
There has been NO time in a decade
when the republican party could moi
have mastered the trusts now in exist
ence and the fact that they have mul
tiplied thrice during the Roosevelt
regime Is proof positive the republican
party is insincere In the handling o.
trust matters. In fact the idea o
special protection was the commence
ment OF the campaign of republicanisn
to work its will upon the people Of thu
United States. The trusts are par
of the republican leaders. Those in
stitutions are so fortified that a few

rHE PLATFORM.

The democratic plhuOPm mas peeii
read throughout the civilized world
and tie comment is varied. One
strong Feature that was never before
given platform OF a party in the
United -tes, is tie Sohderful regard
in which the candidate is held by the
press Of other as well as his native
land. The greatest critic on current
events in the world today is Labou-
cbere. the London editor who cuts to
the quick and who assails only when
he has fortified himself with complete
history Of the case
In 1906. when Mr.. Bryan was re-
turning from q trip around the world
and was scheduled TO deliver a fourth
OF July oration at London. Mr.. Labou-
cehre said this OF the speaker:
The worlds ablest orator is to ad-
dreee his friends and the British
gusts tomorrow on the Prince OF
Peace
The next morning the critic correct
ed by stating. we we're in accord with
facts in oar original statement of call
ing Mr.. Bryan the worlds greatest ora
tor. 10 this we add. also the worlds
greatest private citizen and ablest ex.
ponent Of governmental morals the
world has produced"
Therefore. when Labouchere's pa.
per boldly announces that It cares not
a rap for the platform because ~
Slected, William Jennings Bryan will
bring his country 70 the highest exc
cutiye ability shown in the age OF
