individual as we'll as the govern
ment be guaranteed?
This all goes to show that the
Republicans have no plea to
make to the people and III q t
they have been unable to answer
any of the Democratic argu-
ments.
While we like to use repectful
language toward the President,
and will try to be as gentle with
him as possible, yet it must be
admitted that he has greatly
dwindled in the estimation OF the
people of this country in the last
year. While prosperity was -four
ishing everywhere, people paid
but little attention to the great
number of men>that he has delib-
erately designated as liars. In
fact the people thought or cared
very little about what he said.
But this man Roosevelt has call
ed Ex-senator Chandler, of New
Hampshire, a liar, when Chand-
Ter claimed that Roosevelt asked
him to secure Democratic aid in
the Senate to help pass the Rail-
road Rate bill. Chandler proved
that Roosevelt sent for him for
that mission and that proves
that Chandler is not the liar but
makes out plainly that some
body else lied. He also used the
same kind of language towards
Mr.. Hartman and denied that
he asked Mr.. Hartman to raise
$250,0OO four years ago TO ena-
BILE the State of New York to be
carried for him. Mr.. Hartman
has proved that Mr.. Roosevelt
made this request to him and
that he raised the sum. Now who
does this make out to be a liar?
But the most glaring and vii
est thing that Roosevelt ever did
and which will be a blight on his
: character as long as he lives, q.
rose out of the controversy be.
, tween hun and Judge Parker
four years ago. Judge Parker,
on the stump, claimed that the
t Roosevelt campaign COMMITTEES
, was holding up corporations all
! over the country for large sums
L OF money with which topurchase
the election of Mr.. Roosevelt
2 Mr.. Roosevelt in his impetuous
: manner rushed into print q n d
5 yelled liar, liar, liar, and the peo.
: pie belived him and elected him.
r Now after oDe year the facts
came out in public that Mr.
Roosevrlt's campaign treasury
received from 10 to so thousand
: dollars from practically every
large corporation in the conn-
r try. Now who appears to be the
liar in this case?
M: Roosevelt has come dan.
r gerously near being an emperor
: during his seven years at h
, White House. He has thrown the
Constitution to the winds, and
our liberties and rights depend
= alone on his whimsical will. Our
, foreiathers framed a Constitu.
, ton to insure our liberties, but
, Roosevelt has been gradually
cutting it to pieces until it isnow
, nothing but a heap OF wreck and
! rubbish. There are millions o.
, true American Republicans who
, still believe in the republican
: principles of the immortal LIN
coin and are resenting in an en-
phatic manner the despotic act
and and imperial e1ict, by which
this ferocious man dictated the
, nomination OF Mr.. Taft to be his
3 own successor, with the under
standing that TAFT is to return
g the favor after taking two terms
!. himself, and nominate Roosevelt
$ in 1906. Thus we are on t h {
: brink of turning from q republic
: to an empire, with our Emperort
o appointing their own successors
This imperial business, is going
: to receive a mighty check onANsO
