could not do it. 1t was against theil
principles TO use anything but cham
pagne.
So, said the speaker, was the atti
tude of the Socialists. He asked them
to rally to the support of the Demo
cratic ticket. Be practical.
One of the strong points brought
out by Mr.. Ferguson, was the act, oi
the Chicago school boardA They found
900 school children in that city
who were not receiving enough to eat
and asked for power to furnish them
each day with one five cent meal. And
then in the factories and mines of the
Eastern states, little children are
forced to arduous tasks. Then there
is Rockefeller with one thousand mill
ions of dollars, secured by pervert
ing and lodging the law An .Asto1
with ten millions of dollars income
every year goes to England and pre-
sents the King with valuable presents
in the hope of securing a title. The
system of special laws for the inter
ests and the money power.
The agents of the Interests are in
our congress, their voice is all power
full. This is the system that Bryan has
been fighting for years. 1t was a real
battle now, mortal and deadly COM
bat. Before Bryan's time it had been
but a sham battle. Bryan had been
defeated by money and intimidation
in 1896; the same thing had happened
in 1900. Then four years ago, one
Parker was nominated and the result
was slaughter. Now in 1908 the peo-
pie turned to Bryan, Bryan 4S years
old, honest, pure, a family man, fear
less and a friend of the people. He
believed Bryan had been raised I'D
for a purpose. He belived he would
be elected
Larrazolo ever since 1896 had been
a true representative of Bryan and he
deserved the support of ever Bryan
man.
Bryan had conquered the Gold Dem
ocrats and had secured as his imita-
tors, the best part of the Republican
party, the part led by Roosevelt and
Taft. Roosevelt saw that the Republi-
can party was but the tool of the
trusts and that unless redeemed it
woul4 be destroyed. The trusts under
Republican made laws had robbed the
people. Bryan had thus converted Mr..
Roosevelt Then the question came up
Why not elect Taft? Why? Because
if Roosevelt, with all of his energy
and powers could not conquer the
trusts, how could good-natured, fat
Taft hope to do so. Roosevelt had
sent fiery message after message to
the Republican Congress, asking and
demanding relief. Congress merely
smiled Then Roosevelt with all the
power of the government behind him
had forced the nomination of Taft
and had asked for Cummins for the
second place, but he got Cannon IS
lieutenant, forced on him by the in
terests. The trusts wrote the Repub-
lican platform and dictated the act
ions OF the Republican party, and kill
ed all efforts at reform by that party
What could fat Taft do on the Buck
ing bronco that Roosevelt was una,
BILE to ride?
Bryan has the great grou1dswell
of the public opinion of the people
behind him. He would force these
people to give the relief demanded
by the people. He would be supported
by Democrats, Gold Democrats and
right-thinking Republicans, and Bryan
would be elected.
Larrazolo is entitled to your sup
port. He is honest, upright. He was
elected district-attorney in Texas bJ
Democrats and so good was his rec
same office.
LarraZolo was entitled to be elect
ed. He had been deprived of the vic
tory won at the last election He haC
vainly tried to get a hearing on hi:
case at Washington. He had present
ed overwhelming proof of fraud bu
could get no hearing. Why? The chair
man of the committee. handling suc1
cases, one Armistead, is from Penn
sylvania, an old chum of Andrews
