Roosevelt will indorse Taft.
Vice President Sherman says that
Roosevelt will indorse the Payne
Aldrich tariff law and the Taft ad-
ministration IL every particular.
do not believe il. do not be-
lieve it because I read Roosevelt TO
be TOO clever a politician TO put his
.. K on such band of criminals
as that which dominate the Republi
can party.
l wish 70 make 40 apology for the
use Of the word criminals. ! en-
ploy the term sdvisedly.
The Republican party is today
controlled body aud soul by the su-
gar trust, the steel trust, the har-
vester trust, the lumber trust and
other similar organizations, each
and every one Of which is in exis-
tence in violation OF the antitrust
laws Of the country.
Having no legal right TO exist.
each of these greedy monopolies is
a criminal corporation, and il the
attorney general ofthe United States
would do his full duty they would
be forced to dissolve.
But If Roosevelt does indorse the
TaF. n;st-atior - ill - -
ought to De his Waterloo, following
in the due allotted time his trium-
plant return from Elba. II
Roosevelt openly indorses such
standpatters as Taft and Senator
Lodge Of Massachusetts it will mean
that be deceived the people as TO his
true sentiment as completely as the
prizefghter Jeffries deceived the
sporting world as to his real physi-
Cal condition.
TAFT PAST REDEMPTION.
Roosevelt will not dare indorse
Taft for these reasons
First: Taft personally promised
revision ward, lad then per-
sonally signed tariff bill which re-
vised the tariff upward.
Second Taft personally aided
Boss Aldrich TO cheat the people
out Of an income tax, which would
take some OF the burden OF taxation
of OF the poor and place it upon the
rich.
Third: Taft personally used all
the power at his command TO pre-
vent Speaker Cannon from being
dethroned
Fourth: Taft upheld Ballinger
after the latter had been exposed
and discredited as having given aid
to Alaska coal land grabbers.
Fifth: Taft counseled with Aid
rich, Lodge, Hale. Guggenheim,
Penrose, Flint, Cannon, Fordney
and other representatives OF the
special interests. and refused to &C
cept advice from such men as LaFol-
lette, Dolliver, Cummius, Clapu
and Murdoch.
Sixth: Taft IS personally seeking
to defeat LaFollette and other genu-
inc insurgents because they endea-
vored to revise the tariff in coz
formity with the Taft prediction
speeches.
