president and vice president we must
view what has caused the great upris-
ing in the country in connection with
oar economic affairs and the admins
tration Of our government In SO far as
it relates to that subject
There Is no defence offered for the
extensive privileges created by the
tariff preferences through the Repub-
kcan party and the favors to the
privileged classes and corporations.
While wealth has accumulated under
these preferences, a fair field and no
favor has been denied to the masses.
We cannot expect remedies from
men high in Office who In their entire
life work have been associates and
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 fostered nor have we found him
In the seven and ohe-hah years Of his
official life as president strenuous In
removing tariff iniquitfes and inequalt
ties. Mr.. Taft In his acts and utter
anoes is q party man, believing in a
protective tariff, and would. If elected,
defend what to many minds Is the su-
preme cause OF unrest.
FREQ From Evil Associations.
In Mr.. Wilson and his associate 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 OF
accept favors or to participate in any
measure that could possibly relate to
their personal welfare or increase
their incomes. In the respective pro.
LESSONS that these two gentlemen
have occupied they have been day
laborers, working 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 fo4 he 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 faithful to
his trust, honest in his work, fearless
and courageous in his opinions, will in
time be noticed and receive reward.
They have watched with concern every
side of our political life that enters
into the government of our people,
voicing their approval or disapproval
of situations as they arose.

Governor Wilson and Governor Mar

have the assurance that in their deeds

Must Buy Stock in the Brewery.

Facts about the West Point brewery
and the prospects of that brewery
moving to Norfolk were given out by
a high official Of the company to a
Norfolk relative yesterday.
The talk OF the brewery moving to
Norfolk originated among the brewery
officials. who see the great advantages
the brewery would derive by moving
here. They want. however. enough
stock subscribed in Norfolk to build a
new brewery in this city and this. says
this official, would cost much money.
Probably 100000 would have to be
subscribed. il is said. A new brewery
built here would have to have ca.
pacity OF about $4,000 barrels Of beer
annually. Personally, this official is
favorable to moving to Norfolk and
declared he did not know just how
other officials or directors OF the com.
pany felt about il. He could not state
definitely whether or not the brewery
would move to Norfolk. He declared,
however, that the brewery would move
here If sufficient stock was subscribed,
Notwithstanding the fact that he would
be sorry to see the plant move from
West Point.
He did not believe that the brewery
would lose any of its present business
in West Point or elsewhere If it
moved here and was certain that the
business would be increased by reach
ing direct points which they now must
pay transfer charges.
