Republican party is a counterfeit of the
grossest character and that If the PEG
pie accept II as pure gold they VIII
awaken to find that it has turned to
mere alloy, for il is a conservatism
that stands for retrogression and not
progress. and If it We're long to prevail
would not only mean universal stagna-
ton, but the hands of the clock would
be turned backward toward the period
when man stalked the earth with bow
and spear, clad in the skins of the wild
beasts and preyed upon everything that
crossed his path
you will be able to show that the
Democratic party is capable of bring
ing about wholesale reforms without
alarm or danger to those who have
become the innocent possessors of the
inflated securities which Republican
prosperity and a solemn promise TO
keep it up, induced them to purchase.
Passing from a survey OF cohoi-
lions and principles, to the considera-
ton of candidates, you will be able
TO show, that, taking the Chicago
platform. the uncertainty of Tart on
great public questions and the known
corporation bias of Sherman together,
they constitute the Republican parlys
official apology for the uproar that
has been created among the big inter-
ests during the last six years,
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE.
you will be able TO show that Tart
is attempting to reach the Whlte
House through a mirror maize, when
is likly TO leave him on Nov j, just
where he started on the 18Th OF June.
After reading Tafts letter of accept
ance, YOU will be able to show that his
candidacy is like one of those new
tangled signs that we see so often
upon the streets-when you are APP
preaching, ii reads one thing ana
when you are leaving, 1t spells some
thing else. And also in this connection
YOU will be able to show that in places
where Roosevelt is supposed to enjoy
great popularity it is sung into the
ears of his admirers that If Taft is
elected the spirit of the departed
Roosevelt will be found crouching be-
hind the throne and directing new on
saughis against the corporations; anu
that in sections where Roosevelt has
incurred the grave censure by reason
of his strenuous policies, they are
whispering in the ear of the Standard
Oil, the steel trust the transportation
companies and others of their ilk, tnat
after the 4th of March the shade OF
Roosevelt will be found wandering
through the jungles of Africa in pur-
suit of bigger game, leaving TAFT to
deal conplacently with the offending
corporations. Even those who believed
that before TAFT was nominated for
the presidency. he was thoroughly
dipped in Rooseveltlan waters, now
have lurking suspicion that some
body had him, like Achilles, by the
tendon of the heels that he might not
prove wholly inyulnerable to corporate
assaults in the event of his election.
TO those who regard Roosevelt as a
second Cromwell who Is handing down
his iron RUE TO Taft, as his natural
successor. II will be sufficient to suG-
pest that when Oliver passed the COM
monwealth to Richard II was but the
forerunner of the restoration of the
Stuarts and the downfall of the COM
mons.
YOUR OPPONENT SHERMAN"
"of your opponent Sherman you will
be able to show without violating the
ethics of politics that his career in Con
gress has been distinguished only by
his absolute subserVlency to the oil
garchy in control OF the house Of repre-
sentatives, and that when Cannon
consented TO the passage of sherman
at the Chicago convention, he was SIM
ply putting his o. *. ON another meas
IRE satisfactory to the committee ON
rules and the interests they represent.
