New York. Sept lS-At the outset
Of an argument in relation to the ap
preaching election for president and
vfce-president We must view What has
caused the great uprising Iu the com

affairs and the administration Of Cnr
government in so far as il relates tc
that subject
There is no defence offered for TIE
extensive privileges created by the
tariff preferences through the republic
can party and the faYors TO the priv
ileged classes and corporations. While
wealth has accumulated under these
preferences, a far field and no favor
has been denied 10 the masses We
Americans are an observing and a
thinking people The result is we fee

We cannot expect remedies fronl

life work have been associates and
participants with the favored class
Mr.. Roosevelt during his entire career
in politics and as the head Of his party
has been the protector Of many trusts

Mr.. Taft in his acts and utterances is
a party man, believing in protective
tariff. and would If elected, defend
what to many minds is the supreme
cause OF unrest
In Mr.. Wilson and hisassociate. the
candidate for vice president, we have
two men who have had no associations
with the privileged class, who have
never been in a position to grant Oh
accept fayors or to participate in any
measure that could possibly relate u
their personal welfare or increase then
incomes. In the respective professions
that there two gentlemen have occupi
ed they have been day laborers, work

the workman who is industrious ant
faithful to his task.
The very fact that they have beer
selected as candidates for the Office o
president and vice president of thes'
United States is an illustration OF ont
of the great boasts of the american
people that the man who is faithfd

lines of the patriots and statesmen o

Governor Wilson and Goy,no' lar
