worked hand and glove with the
republican machine in New York
and has traded off the democratic
national ticket in. order that it
might retain control Of New York
City, and it is generally believed
that the leaders of Tammany are
corrupt and that their support is
a purchasable quantity.
II am against him because his
most prominent supporter is Sem
ator Bailey of Texas, reaction
AIRY of the first magnitude. That
Bailey is a Standard Oil bench
man was proven to the satisfact-
ion of the people by the exposure
of his connection with the Pierce
Waters Oil Company. He was
the chief spokesman for and de-
fender of Senator Lorimer of Ill
inois, whose seat was purchased
for him by the trusts by the bril-
berry and corruption of legisla-
tors as shown by the testimony
taken by the senatorial investigat
ing committee; he is violently
and bitterly opposed to the init
iative, referendum and recall
and his record during the session
of congress just closed, as well as
during the 1909 session when the

yond a shadow of doubt, that he
is tool of the trusts and a trail
tor to his party and its principles.
II am opposed to Harmon be-
cause Roger Sullivan, the I'M
speakable democratic boss of Ill
inois, is supporting him. The
Progressive Democratic League
of that state, regards Sullivan as
corrupt reactionary and is en-
deavoring to Gust him from posi-
ton of national committeeman
and charges him with being con-
nected with the bribery of legis-
lators when LOrimer was elected
to the senate.
II am against him because the
two men who today stand out pre-.
eminently as the champions of the
people, namely, W. j. Bryan and
Senator La Toilette, are against
him. Mr.. Bryan is opposing his
nomination, and Senator La Fol
lette refers to him as 1.-The first
choice of Big Business demo-
Gratis, and says in substance that
the nomination of Harmon and
Taft would be the nomination of
two men of the same mind.
81 am against him because the
New York World, newspaper
that has always fought Bryan anc
progressive democracy, is sup
porting him by belittleing his OPP
ponents.
II am against him because he
refused to recommend that the
Ohio Democratic State convention
nominate a candidate for the SEN
ate.
Il am against him because, |
have carefully read his message
to the last Ohio legislature, and
of all the great burning ques-
lions of national Importance that
were then and are today before
the American people, he touched
upon hut one and that was the
income tax amendment which he
recommended for ratification.
The other portions of his volumi-
nous message dealt solely with
purely local matters such as re-
vision of the revenue laws of the
state, etc, but Notwithstanding
his loud silence, progressive
Legislature enacted a number of
progressive measures and public
opinion was such that Harmon
signed them.
Il may say, so far as | am per-
sonally concerned, that / have
no political ambition and no pol
| itical fayors to ask and that
have always been democrat
and have been engaged in this
| fight in behalf of the common
people, of whom l am one, since
1896; the principles we have adj
vocated both before and since
then, have placed our party in
the commanding position it occu-
pies today and disrupted the re-
republican party. Those prin-
ciples are eternally right and
believe that it would be political
suicide for us to recede from
them single step or to enter in
to partnership with the political
high binders who are robbing
ninety-odd millions of Americans
to make multi-millionaires of
themselves.
