would draw the crowd and your orators
would get a part of their time.
Again, IL a Joint discussion is TO Do

sentatives OF the Third Term or Buii
Moose Republicans. While it is true. that
maintenance of the high protective tariff.
yet the problem should be discussed from
their angle, too, II We are 10 have q
full and fair debate Again, they might
contribute a share OF the audience.
We don't mind putting one Democrat

Third Termer-but wouldn't Il be unfair
TO an audience TO subject n 10 "A pro-
tracted meeting and so much talk or
question which, unlike most questions,
has only one side to il? The American
people declared for tariff reduction when
Mr. Taft was elected President, but they
didn't get the reduction, although every
body, Republicans and Democrats, voted
for IT, The only question now Is the
election Of a man who will effect that
reduction. Is that a debatable question?

candidate who will. IL elected, reasonably

EvERYBODY'S for years has attacked bucket.
shops and fake mines and Wall Street jobbery and
caiOlerv.
EVERYBODY'S rsked its life and found it in Mr.
Lawson's "Frenzed Finance"
EVERYBODY'S is the natural vehicle for this
new campaign.
WHY are we beginning this campaign in the midst
of the most strenuous political campaig n ever!
Because you are all thinking about big questions,
and ought to be the right time to get your thoughts
headed toward the biggest question of all.
This question will not be discussed by the candl-
dates because they do not understand and there
fore can not realize its tremendous Importance.
That men lose money gambling in Wall Street,
everybody knows.
That the banks loan, purely for Wall Street
gambling, millions upon millions, that would
otherwise be used in the Country's industries
this every good business man knows.
But THAT A FEW INSIDERS IN WALL STREET USE
STOCK. EXCHANGE DEVICE FOR AUTOMATICALLY ABSORBING
THE NATIONS ANNUAL SURPLUS, ONLY FEW KNOW, AND
ONLY ONE MAN IS WILLING TO TELL.
Mr.. Lawson is not an economist in the textbook
sense but he is a practical economist and he has
spent his life in the stock-eXchange business and
knows every trick and device of it known imagined
None of the presidential candidates could possibly
know what he knows about Wall Street Indeed
Mr. Lawson himself says in this number of EVERY
BODY'S that it is to Americans credit if he does
not know about this Wall Street device NO man,
he saws. "can possibly know the one big evil unless he
has had hand in its creation or its working
II the Presidential Candidates will take the time, Mr.
Device and how is worked and how can be smashed
he doe not ask smash it himself Nor the credit for
shfno CDuiy IA
rcstcred
In THE REMEDY Mr.. Lawson will show
Won. as he has shown u.s. how few men have got and
are getting all the money.
That's what's the matter with us. isn't it 80
Mr. Lawson will show yon how to stop it. 'e@'
That's what we want, isn't it.
No presidential candidate can do that until Mr..
lawson, or one Of very few others, shows him how.
But once shown how. any body stop it,
II will be stopped You will insist that it be
stopped.
So in the heat Of fierce political contest we come to
you say that private citizen out OF his and
experience tell you The thing ought to know =
and know.
We believe that Mr.. Lawson knows what's the
matter and how to correct it.
We commend him to your confidence and your
regard sure as we are that he is enlisted in this
paign inspired by single purpose to make an in
valuable contribution to the common good
The barons of our Dollar Feudalism will fight him,
dscredit him. destroy him if they can; but nothing
less than death and this not heroes nothing less
than death will stop him.
