IL. Ex-President Roosevelt, who

y Dozen Reasons Why Should
Vote Against Ex-President
Roosevelt.
BECAUSE:
I. He has broken his solemn |
premise not to be candidate for a
thiid term, therefore his other
promises are not to be relied upon. |
2. For seven years he was
President, and during those seven
y rs the very conditions he now /
ends to combat viciously were
f.0r, thoroughly developed than
~ l- all the other periods in the
% rs history.
The day he became Presi-
here were 14O trusts or COM
nations, capitalized at $1,000
$4,000, and the day he retired
from Office there were 1920 such
combinations, capitalized at $751;
900, 100000.
a. He permitted the Steel Trust
to acquire the Tennessee Coal and
Iron Company, its principal rival,
in violation of the antitrust law,
and forbade the prosecution of the
Harvester Trust at the request of
George w. Perkins, HIS PRESENT
NATIONAL CHAIRMAN.
.. The man, next to Roosevelt,
responsible for the third term
movement is Geo. w. Perkins;
Perkins Is the promoter and defen-
de- Of the most pernicious trusts :
in the United States, which are the I
most vicious imposers on the men, /
women and children wage earners I
,Of the country. a
6. He urges the legalization of :
rrrst watered stock and monopoly,
as first advocated by PERKINS, a
HIS PRINCIPAL SUPPORTER p
AND FINANCIAL BACKER. b
Z. He accepted campaign con- 4
Jributions from trusts, insurance
companies and crooked business"
and denied that he had done So .
MY dear Hartman. He stands
for Boss" Finn, Boss" Woodruff a
and other Bosses" who serve him. II
S. During the seven years he 3
was President, he failed, even re- u
fused, TO lift finger against high v
tariff. Who believes, If elected, he r
would try to reduce excessive tariff U
taxes? Why Is he surrounded now
by high tariff men, who are con- u
tributing freely to his campaign u
fund? u
3. He loves war better than n
peace.
10. Out of Office he promises
too much, and in Office performs
too little. ... :,
II. He says that the small .,
farmer and the laborer OF the city 6,
are not to be mentioned in the -,
50 ne breath with cowboys, etc. AZ 4,
re" describing the drunkenness and =.
deadly shooting ARRAYS of the cow
Toys, he writes; -
But they are MUCH BETTER
FELLOWS and PLEASANTER
than the small
farmers or agricultural laborers;
