GOOD OFl7HE PARTY
CAMPAIGN IS NOW ON FOR PARTY
ABOVE COUNTRY.
II You SuCCumb Don't Squak When
They Pull Your Tail Feathers. The
misunderstanding and Writing--
are now Working on the Job the
Country Over.

If you felt a strange hand in your
pocketbook, you would try to grab the
stranger. Failing, you would set up
great yell and, at the head of a
mob. chase him five miles, though
your pocketbook contained only a
street car ticket
If your wife awoke in the night and
saw a william crawling out of win
dow with your silver or tin coffee pot,
you'd fire your pistol, get out all the
police and never get over talking
about how your house was once burgl-
arized.
Ii. while going homeward some
night, fellow put a pistol to your
head and made you surrender all you
had on you and sign chattel mort
gage for what you had at home, you'd
put him down as the champion for
brutality and nerve, and curse the po-
lice for all time if they didn't at once
catch and punish him.
But how did L. S. Senator Bris-
tows expose of the Rubber Trust, re-
Gently published in these columns,
impress you?
Bossing the senate, Aldrich bosses
through congress legislation putting
raw rubber on the free list, with pro-
hibitive tariff on manufactured rubber
goods. A Rubber Trust is formed, by
Aldich's near relative, and prices are
raised on your rubber boots, your
babes rubber nipples, the hospital
patients hot water bottles, your wife'S
waterproof, your suspenderS, the poor
mans overshoes, the rich mans auto
tires-everything into which rubber
enters. Old and young, rich and poor,
sick and we'll are legally Robbed that
Aldrich's relatives may be million
aires.
Moreover, desiring to be returned
to congress to do more rObbing, Aid
rich's tools and even some of your
presidents cabinet members are 60
ing to invade this state and tell you
that this thing is good for us. They
think you so stupid that you didn't
feel the hand in your pocket, see the
fellow looting your house at night, or
realize that there was anything wrong
in stripping you with a pistol at your
nose.
You are going to be told by the fell
lows who helped Aldrich rob you that
it's all right because Aldrich helped
their relatives rob you in respect OF
the schedules on cotton, wool, hides
and fuel.
You are going to be told by the fin
est orators that the Rubber Trust and
other Trusts can hire or President
Taft lend ''for the party" that fellows
like LaFollette, Beverdge, Murdoch,
Norris, PoindeXter and others who
object to you being robbed are trail
tors to your party and not to be trust
ed because they will not stand for
the scheme of skinning you TO make
Aldrich's son, or son-in-laW, or ne
phew or daughter-in-law rich.
The bi-annual campaign of pulling
out your feathers without causing you
to squawk is on. Once again. as in
every second year that comes along,
you are to be fooled into Fostering
infant industries" whose titanic feet
already crush your neck.
Will you be fooled, for the good
of the party" this time? Not if you
are half as careful about casting your
vote as you are about what the pick
pocket, the burglar and the footpad
may do to you-TacOma Times.
