the power Of the bosses and their ma

other era of prosperity as we had IN

type of Ryan and Belmont.
Uncovers Taft.
ut is unnecessary to explain where
Mr.. Taft stands. It is as natural for
man of his type to be allied with
men like Root, Crane, Guggenheim
and Hammond as it is for duck 20
take to the water. Mr.. Taft knows
the history of the Republican party as
the favorite organization of the big
capitalists. And he: wants that par y
to remain the favorite.
"That he has the support of many
big political bosses and capitalist
exp1oiters goes without further ex-

Hits Roosevelt.
''But glance at some of the hon
est progressives' who are now setting
out to purify politics will at once de-
monstrate that Robin Hoods famous
assemblage of outlaws had nothing on
the gang that are now rallying around
Theodore Roosevelt"
Here Berger showed the business
connections of Roosevelt's followers
and pointed out that many of these
progressive leaders are heads of poll
tical machines in their respective
cities and states.
The existence Of classes is nothing

Tariff Issue Humbug.
Declaring that the tariff does not
protect labor, Berger said that "the
agitation for a low tariff or high
tariff is a shameless humbug, when
we compare its importance with the
question of the exploitation of labor.
"The only party that is in accord

with the Socialists political issues
are of minor consequence. Economic
issues are of paramount Importance.
"The Socialist party is the-only
true reform party in existence. We
agitate for the organization of the
masses. And organization everywhere
means order.

son, we discipline.
Besides order, we bring also law,
reason, discipline and progress to
men and women who have been torn
from their old conditions by capital
ism-and who would become Apaches.
1T is, therefore, absolutely false to
represent our Socialist party as de-
structive, as intending to overthrow
and annihilate society, as an appeal
to the brute passions of the masses.
Just the opposite is true.
"Our Socialist party wants to main
tain culture and education and carry
them to the homes of every worker in
the land.
sour party wants to guard this ma
ton from destruction and bring 1t to
a level hitherto unknown in history.
eve appeal to the best in every
man, to the public spirit of the citizen,
to his love of wife and children.
Therefore, we ask every man and
woman who really loves his or her
county not to be caught by empty
phrases but to stand for the interna-
tional ticket of humanity-the Social
ist ticket"
