WOODROW WILSON
Chicago Post, Influential Repub-
Iican Paper, Asks Its Read
ers a Leading Question.
FRAUDS OF PRESENT REGIME
Says the Tariff Has Been Too High
for a Generation, and Must Be Low
cred.

The Chicago Post, an influential in
dependent Republican newspaper, pro-
pounds this question to Republicans:
why not Wilson?
This question Is addressed particu-
larly to Republicans.
Governor Wilson suits the Demo
Gratis down to the ground, suits all
Democrats who are worthy to be call
ed Democrats. But in an emergency
like this, why should not Wilson suit
a large part of the Republicans as
well?
why not Wilson?
Governor Wilson is a thoroughbred
American gentleman, not only in the
accident of birth, but in his every
IDEAL impulse and principle. That
should be the first requirement of ev-
cry presidential candidate.
Governor Wilson is a tried and
trustworthy executive His brilliant
record as governor of New Jersey
proves that.
Governor Wilson is an eminently
sane and sensible man. He is an emf
nently honorable man. He has digni-
fed every place which he has held.
He has performed splendid public
service by lifting the present cam
paign out Of the riot of mudslinging
with which Roosevelt began 1t.
I'm every personal characteristic,
Governor Wilson Is equipped to be
any mans president, without regard
to whether that man is a Democrat or
a Republican. What, then, Of his po-
itical qualifications?
Governor Wilson is, and always has
been, a sensible Democrat, but he is
not and never has been a silly, violent
partisan.
Governor Wilson stands for honesty
and efficiency In federal administra.
ton. So do all save those who profit
by graft and inefficiency.
Governor Wilson stands for the
curbing Of trusts and monopolies. So
do all, except monopolists and their de-
fender, Theodore Roosevelt.
Governor Wilson stands for a
prompt and steady downward revision
of the tariff. So do nine-tenths Of the
people of the United States.
Governor Wilson believes in a more
radical tariff revision than do a large
number Of the rank and file Of Re
publicAns. But Governor Wilson Is
the only candidate who II elected will
permit the revision Of the tariff at all
THE tariff has been to high for q
generation. Is it not better to take q
chance at getting It too low-aooordine

to Mr.. Roosevelts political fortunes by
the further statement that J. p Nor

publican campaign funds was only
100000; that he never heard of any
donation by his firm to the Democrats;
that WI Mr.. Taft was candidate in

Not Always For Railroad Regulation.
Mr.. Roosevelt is now an advocate Of
railroad regulation. When did he COM
mence? The Democratic party in it's
platforms Of 1896. 1900 and 1904 de.
mandCd an extension Of the powers Of
the interstate commerce commission
Up to 1904 Mr.. Roosevelt never dis
cussed the subject Of railroad regula-
ton officially or in public speech, 80
far as ] have been able to find. Al
though nominated without opposition
in the convention Of 1904, his platform
contained no promise Of railroad regu-
lation. By Its attitude on the railroad
question the Democratic party alienat-
ed the support Of those railway officials
who counted themselves Democrats,
and Mr. Roosevelt, both In 1900, when
ne was a candidate for vice-president
and in 1904, when h4 was q candidate
for president. had the beneflt Of the
support Of those ex-Democrats. It was
in 1904 that he wrote his famous let.
ter to Mr. Hartman and in the state
OF New York profited by the campaign
fund that Mr.. Hartman raised.
When after 1904 Mr.. Roosevelt took
up the subject Of railroad regulation
he found more hearty support among
the Democrats In the senate and house
than among the Republicans, 30 that
he has reason to know that the Dem
ocratic party has for long time plant.

Under the circumstances we might
expect some complimentary reference
to our party's attitude instead Of
anathemas.
T. RS Complies eemersauft
On the subject OF publicity as to
campaign contributions he has not only
adopted the Democratic position, but
he has been compelled to turn q COM
plete somersault in order to do so. In
1908 the Democratic platform demand
ed the publication before election Of
the names of individual contributors
and the amounts contributed. Mr..
Roosevelt at that time Endorsed Mr..
Taft's contention that the publication
should be deferred until after the cleo
ton, and even went so far as to give
reasons for believing that 1t would be
improper to make the publication be-
fore the election. Two years later he
declared in favor OF publicity before
and after the election. landing on the
Democratic side shortly before the law
was enacted carrying out the Demo
cratic platform on this subject. Here,
surely, he ought to praise the Demo
cratic party for the pioneer work it
has done in purifying politics.
Here are q few of the things which
bear the Democratic brand. and with
all of his experience on the plains he
will not be able to work the brand

the Democratic national convention at
Denver four years ago contained the
following:
