Clark on Taft's Record

| cheerfu1ly and earnestly TO democrats
all over the land"
Mr.. Clark reviewed conditions in
I both parties, referred 10 the demo
cratic victory of 1910, and the various
I ccr gressional fights, and said thai
had the republicans in the 61st con
gress honestly redeemed the promises
made in the campaign of 1905. TO re

have made their party tnvincible. and
would have secured another long lease
I Of power. The masses Of the people
without regard TO party affiliations, are
honest, and they demand honesty and
candor in public men.
"One Of the chief reasons why we
won in 1910 was that the democrats
and insurgent republicans in congress
kept constantly hammering on the
, broken promises of the republican
standpatters. on their gross perfidy to
their pledges, and upon their scorn OF
the righteous demands of the people.
We appealed 10 the country on thar
record and won an astonishing victory
which, let US hope. is only the begin
ming OF a long series of victories for
lower taxes, for greater econ omies,
and for better government.

complaining, but are advising their
sick friends to try Root Juice, conf
