help develop patriotism and want to
help enact laws so that our children
and our children's children will rise
up and call us blessed, as We have
made this government in which the
people rule.
Support your state ticket. II bears
the burden of the fight and the mea
on it are working for you and your
interes SITS. What are the questions up
on which our party stands. They are
honest in politics, purity in elections,
publ cation of campaign contributions,
dscourag cement of illegal practices
against the people. l believe our
committee has done laudable thing
in opening its books. The republican
party stands in fear of the people by
refusing. 1t is playing a double game
Out west it is with the farmers and
out east it is with the monied inter
ests.

only last week it began to come
out and show where it's support
comes from. Roosevelt said the
Standard Oil company supports me
But with all his secret service he
could not find a single one for me.
Now here comes John D. and declares
Taft's election is necessary to main
tain the stability of business. What
kind of business does he run with
his larcenious hand in the peoples
pockets buying the elections? And
who else is there? Carnegie has said
my election would be a tragedy. Who
else? There is Hartman, whom the
president denounced. Now this I'M
desirable citizen is out for Taft. Yes,
MI Taft today has an army recuper-
ated from the commercial bedlams.
nave not with me a single man who
has his hand in the pockets of the
people. What republican laborer can
longer doubt who is on his side? Can
the republican business man doubt
where his safety lies? The democra.
TIC party offers prosperity for all.
What says the laborer? He can't
have what he needs. He can't have
protection from the banks 1t means
when man goes to sleep, if | am
elected, his SAUNDERS will not be dis
turbed by dreams Of the bank cashier
running away to Canada or the bank
president absconding.
L believe in the protection of the
savings of men and women and do not
oelleVe in having their savings all
swept away in a single night. Our
party takes the peoples side on this
question. We want honest elections,
protection of labor, election Of senator
by the people, tariff revision-why on
that word the republicans have a way
of making changes. They want to re-
wise it up and down and sidewise
Their proposition has height, depth,
length, breadth and everything but
certainty. They use the word willful-
ly and unlawfully to deceive the vot-
ers. Out in Iowa Taft says it prob
ably will be lower but in the east he
uses the word with all it's ambiguity,
whereby they get the campaign con-
tributions and the fellows who give
get the laws.
Panic Idea Ridicuied.
'They say there will be panic if
am elected. They are talking panic
now. Today they are arranging for a
big parade in New York City. They
expect 100000 people to be in line.
They will have great stands and red
fire. AS they march by they will pass
park, where the other night 1 saw
800 men sleeping on benches, wrap
ped only in newspapers. They talk
of prosperity to these people, who do
not have enough money to buy place
to sleep. There were omre failures
the first nine months of this year than
in 1898. The people are buying 10 per
cent less. The bottom has dropped
out of the dinner pail. But Taft says,
if am elected there will be a panic
and he is proclaiming that as long as
his voice holds out. You are all old
enough to know the difference be-
tween fact and opinion. Now that
he will be elected is only an opinion.
Do you see the difference? He says
there will be a panic il l am elected.
Last fall they had a panic without
waiting for my election. That Is an
opinion and a fact. If Taft can pre-
vent panic next year why couldn t
he last year? He was a member of
the presidents cabinet. Why didn't
he tell the president to postpone it a
few months so he could say it was my
panic? And yet they talk panic and
have no plan for relief. On what do
/, they have to build up a permanent
prosperity. 1t is the same kind of a
story they had about the full dinner
pail eight years ago. They began to
get out their old pals and polish them
up for use in the parades this year.
but the panic came and the fashions
changed. T dinner pail was dropped
and now they talk the fullfarm basket
If the republican party controlled the
sunshine and the rain there would be
a trust in the sunbeams and a negro
In the clouds to send the showers.
How do / know?-by what they have
done. You have the coal trust when
you want to get warm, the ice trust
when you want to get cool, the beef
trust when you want to eat and the
light trust when you want to see.
