stand for the domination of the
Republican party.
democratic doctrines by the score
have been plundered by the Re-
pub b'icen party. They promise tariff
revision and to regulate the rail-
roads. when trusts and railroads
are hand in glove with the admin
istrrtion do you suppose that there
will be any revision? They are tho
best promisers in the world.
''The Republican party Is not
only taxing you for the purposes
of government but to increase the
fortunes of the trust magnates-for
the benefit of the few who arc
rich. When the American trust
manufacturers can ship their prod
ducts to Europe and sell them so
rer cent. less than they sell them
here, protected as they are by the
high tariff, are they not robbng
each and every one of you? Taft
has stPted that he favors revision
of the tariff but he has failed 20

ors, up or down.

Theodore ever busted was the tTn
God We Trust on the American cola
and the people of the United States
forced him to put that back. There
is but one way to control the trusts
that is to elect Democrats to pow

'NThe only standard of the Re-
publican party is Standrrd Oil II
is the b'ackest page in American
history. The Republican party no
lprlyer cares anything fbout the
lpeople on election day. Taft has
made many speeches outlining his
platform but every time he has
to amend It,"
The spePkcr then entered into a
recital of the tyranny of Joseph a.
Cannon, czar Of the house He said
that Speaker Reed was Sunday
School teecher compared with FUncle

people when this one man is able
TO stand In the way of any legisla-
tion even though 1t rs demanded by
all of the 391 representatives in the
house-the only ones who are elect
ed directly by the people He made
a plea for the election of Demo-
cratic house OF representatives to
overthrow this tyrannlcal rule.
James S. Shermsn, Republican can
didate for vice president, was a
member of the committee which
drafted the code of rules by which
Joe Cannon curbs the will of the
tpeople.
J Concluding the speaker said:
''The Democratic p,etform states
clearly and concisely the stand Of
'the party, on all of the questions.
II is safe and sound, 1t is the one
way by which the people of the
United Stetes can restore to Uhem-
selves the power which has been
taken from thom for the benefit of
the favored few The constitution
Is held for naught; the Declaration
Of Independence Is scoffed at, men
are idle all over the country; banks
fail; suicides increase; the nation IS
thrown into debt and taxes increases
