New York, Sept. 1S-At the outset
of an argument in relation to the ap-
preaching election for president and
vice-president, we must view what has
caused the great uprising in the ceun-
try in connection with our economic
affairs and the administration of Clr
government in so far as it relates to
that subj t.
There is no defence offered for the
extensive privileges created by the
tariff preferences through the republi-
can party and the favors to the priv
ileged classes and corporations. While
wealth has accumulated under these
preferences, a fair field and no favor
has been denied to the masses. We
Americans are an observing and a
thinking people The result is we feel
and resent this order OF things.
We cannot expect remedies from
men high in Office who in their entire
life work have been associates ana
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
that the tariff has nourished and fos-
tered, nor have we found him in the
seven and one-half years of his officia!
life as president strenuous in remoy-
ing tariff iniquities and inequalities.
Mr.. Taft in his acts and utterances is
party man, believing in a 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 or
accept -fayorss or to. participate in any
measure that could possibly relate to
their personal welfare or increase their
incomes. In the respective professions
that there two gentlemen have occupi-
ed they have been day laborers, work
ing at their desks as many hours as
the workman who is Industrious and
faithful to his task.
The very fact that they have been
selected as candidates for the Office of
president and vice president of these
United States is an illustration OF one
of the great boasts of the american
people that the man who is fdithfdl
% his trlst, honest in his work, fear
less and courageous in his opinions,

approval of situations as they arose.
No one can safely challenge the
scundness of their views or the,s cad
erstip where economic Ques .ups en-
ter into our governmental affairs
They are typical Americans, their
very lives embody a correct iilustrd-
ton, plain people with a love )l c).M-
try, q love and respect for the teach
ings of the wise men who in Oar in
fancy were the guiding lands aud the
balance-minds that created the situ-
alton which we enjoy afte. this cen
tury and quarter. With their ac-
quaintante with our history, they be-
lieye we are safe to keep close to the
lines of the patriots and statesmen of
that early period.
Governor Wilson and GoVJrlo' Mar.
shall have both been before the people
when they received the approve Of Il
majority of the citizens of their re-
spective states for the nigh Office Of
governor. If it be the good fortune Of
the country to have these two gentle
men occupy the presidency and vice
presidency of these United States we
have the assurance that in their deeds
and acts they will labor 20 remove the
unrest that has been created in tie
administration of our governmental az
fairs and that there will be equal laws
for all the people and not special laws
and special protection, and that the
highest ideals of a government of TIE
people, by the people and for the peo-
pie will be brought into fullest realiz-
alton.
