Makes His Usual Bitter Attack Upon
The Republican Party.

Lowell Mass. Sept. 30.-Gov Thos.
r. Marshall of Indiana, candidate for
Vice President on the Democratic

enthusiastic audience in Associate

O'Sullivan, candidate for Congress in
the 5th Massachusetts Congressional
District. In the course of his address,
Gov. Marshall said:
THE old Republican party continues
to stand by its false Gods. Protection
is its hobby and YOU know what has
been the result AS to the Progressive
platform I will say IL there is any
good in it, it is the Socialistc part of
it. The Republican party offers no
change, while Roosevelt advocates the
same order of things, with the state
ment that part of the proceeds shall
go into the pay envelope He has not
demonstrated how that is to be
brought about.
Roosevelt enabled Morgan to make
$69 600 600 | work as hard as Morgan,
but | haven't made that amount. l
haven't had a friend at the White
House. But l will after next March.
while we are all born with equal
rights, God did not make us all alike.
Opportunity is open to all, and ii is
for us to take advantage of our OPP
portunities. Get on honestly. Make
all the money you can. but make it so
honestly that you can let your infant
bite on it without fear of germs.
Love the dollar! love it, but don't
squeeze it so hard that YOU will be
prosecuted for taking liberties with
the person of the Goddess of Liberty.

spark is needed to set the whole Of
southeastern Europe aflame. Three
of the Balkan states by common con-
sent have ordered the simultaneous
mobilization of their armies and are
making every preparation for imme
date hostilities.
Two possible explanations are offered
first that coalition of the Balkan states
exists for the purpose of demanding from
Turkey, before she has time to conclude
peace with Italy, the granting OF COM
plete autonomy to the Macedonian pro-
vinces: second, that, tearing that Turkey
will seek an issue from her difficulties at

pairing themselves for a possible attack.

tives at Constantinople are energet1cally
