Another Good po.totfee.

Postmaster Lloyd said last night
that while The new Richmond post
Office might prove TO be an added at
traction to the MANY features OF the
northside. the Southside postofhce
would not stand in the shadows.
I'VE eoncede that We have the pref
test postoffice building anywhere IN
the limited States for the size Of the
community, and while we congratulate
Postmaster Allan, We must feel that
We. too. have something of post
office. We may not have as many
souvenir postals 10 send out. but We
must feel that the Southside is as
well represented as the northside.

iff according to his present cry with
the laborer, but his feet were swift to
serve the steel trust, the railroads
and Morgan.
Through seven years of bombast
and buster he did nothing for the
people except to appoint a country
life commission and make a loud
preachment of civic righteousness in
high sounding generalities while in
deeds combining with the practical
Hartman" the astute Perkins. and
the scheming steel trust.
But what of the democratic party
1t makes great promises, too, but
what of its deeds? In the two years
time the democratic house has had
time to give evidence for or against
itself it has passed bills to reduce the
tariff, to establish a labor department
in the cabinet, to establish the eight
hour law in all government works and
on work for the government. 1t has
passed a bill to abolish involuntary
servitude among seamen and anchor
ate their condition. It has passed a
law to require publicity of campaign
contributions before elections. and to
| limit the amount of campaign eX-
penditures by candidates to prevent
buying office. 1t has passed laws to
prevent court tyranny by injunctions.
Without enumerating all its acts, the
democracy asks of the people to
search it's record Its every act will
demonstrate that it seeks to serve
that great multitude of common peo-
pie whose toll creates the wealth OF
the nation and whose just rights and
welfare have been made subordinate
by the republican party to the greed
and avarice of the favored few
| And what about Woodrow Wilson?
! He, too, has made promises fair and
i sounding well as candidate and he
has had opportunity to give evidence
for or against himself in his acts as
governor of great state. He over
threw the bosses on the very thresh-
old of his administration. He passed
public utilities bill to control OPP
pressive corporations, and employers
| liability law that gives justice quick
and easy to the laborer. Without
enumerating, within two years he has
done more for the common people in
New Jersey than anyone ever did for

period of time. He, too, asks that
/ the people search his record of deeds.
by their fruits We shall know them,
both party and man. Governor Will
son says there should be partner
ship, not between the governmnt and
the favored few, the trusts and the
combines, but between the govern
ment and the common people. 1t is
time to elect democratic house and
senate and president, and form that
partnership.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

Adopted by Bryan Lodge No. SO,
Sons of Herman, August 20, 1912, in
memory of Gus HIM. the late presi-
dent of the lodge.
To the Acting President and Mem
bers of Bryan Lodge No. SO, Sons of
Herman. We, your com
mittee appointed to draft suitable res

brother and president, Gus HIM, beg
leave to submit the following:
Brother HIM was born November

Inasmuch as it has pleased the
Great Architect of the Universe tc

safety and privilege to continue to
work it's will through either Taft or
Roosevelt, If haply they might elect
either. The steel trust, the harvester
trust would feel perfectly safe with
Roosevelt in power; other trusts feel
safe under Taft. Let the parties and
the mans declaration be measured by
his deeds.
Taft has just given evidence of his
Interpretation of government by and
for the people in his veto of the bill
just passed to reduce wooden duties.
He vetoed this bill once because 1t
was passed before the tariff board
made it's report on wool and he vetoed
it now because it is passed after the
board has reported. He now says the
bill is in disregard of the boards find
ling and thus shows how president,
hostile to the people, can use this
board to serve the interests since
there is no power to prevent him in
}terpreting the boards findings to suit
the interests. He appoints the board
he CONSTITUTES its report under the tute-
Iage OF the interests. He uses his con
struction of it to deny the people the
relief they have twice demanded by
the Overwhelming vote of their chosen
representatives Not one democrat or
Republican who voted for the vetoed
wool bill believes that it would take
away one single right of any legitt
Innate industry. They do not believe
that if the tariff boards report were
accepted as gospel truth in all it's find
ings of facts it would justify the pres
ident's high-handed act. The special
Interests opposed the bill, the people
favor it, Mr. Taft says, by his veto:
This a government by the people, OF
the people, for the people-the people
be id" The king of England would
not today dare send such veto to
parliament.

his party? Let him be judged by his
deeds. He was president seven years.
He never lifted finger to remove the
burdens from the people under the
tariff to divide the benefits of the tar

in this city after having spoken to
enthusiastic crowds at Rutland and

tomorrow touring the state and his
committee declares that his visit will
have an important influence on the
elections to be held here week from
today. Republican leaders admit the
spirit of unrest and dissatisfaction is
rife throughout the state, and that
many republicans will vote for

Grout into office by 5000 over all.
Four years later the republican ticket
was elected by majority of 297S3.
In 1904 Charles j. Bell, master of

An APPEAL FOR THE
DEMOCRATIC TICKET
clittering Platform Generaiities Are
Cheap Campaign Material-Acts
Of Men and Parties Count.
BY Congressman Rufus r. Hardy.

New York, Aug. 27.-It seems to
me all people in the United States
who favor government of the peo-
pie, by the people. for the people
ought to vote the national democratic
ticket in November.
Glittering altruistic and humani'
tartan generalities in platform and
personal pledge are the cheap cam
paign material of all parties and all
candidates. They cost nothing, they
are worth nothing. The republican
party in the first paragraph of its last
platform declares ''its unchangine
faith in government of the people, by
the people, for the people" and Their
in the next sentence appeals to the
shade of Abraham Lincoln to halloN
that declaration; and this after con
tinuous course for nearly sixteer
years of power and unbroken sub
servience as the mere tool working
the will of great trusts and combines
like the United States Steel Corpora
ton and the railroads in extortins
from the people unjust tribute OF hun
dreds of millions annually. During tina
period these great trusts and com
bines have grown more and more
shameless and cruel and the repub
lican party has been forming a closer
and closer partnership with them. To
day the great republican party is
cleft in twain by the selfish ambition
of one man and exists in two wings
the Taft and Roosevelt wings, and
every big selfish predatory interest in
the United States is sheltered under
one of those wings, and hopes for

ENDORSED AT HOME.
Such Proof as This Should Convince

Any Bryan Citizen.
The public endorsement of a local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better, none stronger
can be had. When a man comes for
ward and testifies to his fellow-citi-
zens, addresses his friends and neigh
bors, you may be sure he is thorough
ly convinced or he would not do so.
Telling ones experience when it is for
the public good Is an act of kindness
that should be appreciated. The fol-

palmer terms than ever that the pres

in a nationwide effort to stfe thu
