Personal Appeal
con the eve of your presidential PR
mary in California venture to appeal TO
the Republican men and women who ex-
ercise the franchise to consider fairly and
well the progressive achievements OF my
administration, and especially those that
they deserve approval.
In the matter of the tariff, the Pan
sma-Pacific exposition. conservation IN
the increase in our international ana
Philippine trade. in the employers Ia
bility act. in the more drastic and COM
plete regulation of interstate commerce,
in the postal savings bank bill. IN the
mining bureau bill for the health and
wealth Of the miners, in the establish
ment of a tariff commission, IN the
change from a deficit of S50,000OOO to
a surplus of S40.000,O0O. IN the corpor-
alton tax, in the children's bureau bill Tor
the health and welfare of children, IN
the appointment to the children bureau
of woman, one of the ablest women or
America; in the making of peace treaties
with England and France, which have
been emasculated through the influence
Of Mr.. Roosevelt and his campaign man
ager. senator Dixon. and the Democratic
members OF the senate. in the prOsecu-
tiOn Of the work of building the Panama
canal I submit a record Is formed that
entities this administration TO the sup
port OF the Republican men and women
of California and that it Is progressive IN
the highest degree.
The last important measure that /
have urgently referred to congress. which
has passed the senate and Is now pend
ing in the house Is the WOrkmeu's COM
pensatiOn act. II has passed the senate
and IS now pending il the house. and
changes altogether the policy OF the
law with respect to the liability of the
employer to the employee on interstate
commerce railroads and gives an insur-
ance for every employee against the dan
gers OF his employment by requiring the
employer 10 indemnify the emplOye
against injury received in the employ
ment not brought about by his viii and
voluntarily account and fixes a reason
able compensation graduated according
10 regular tables and proportional to
the extent OF the injuries and the earning
capacity OF the employe injured.
In the opposition which Mr.. ROose-
welt IS now making TO this administra-
ton he Is not giving me a square deal.
as I have shown by Undoubteable record
proof. lie IS appealing to class hatred
and forcing sham issues in such a way
that his success would be a real detri-
ment 20 the public interest and a dan
geroUs departure from a wise tradition.
which he himself has recognized. that
limits citizen TO the two terms in the
presidency
This administration has shown no
favor to wrong doors; 1t has enforced
every law on the statute books. 1t prose
cuted the sugar frauds. the customs
frauds, ana the rebates. and it has
brought sui$ against each trust against
which there was evidence of its violating
the Sherman law and this includes the
steel trust and the harvester trust. which
were treated as good trusts under Mr..
Roosevelt and entitled to immunity al
ter a threat by George ". Perkins that
the prosecution of such trusts would
bring about a right by them with the
administration. Mr.. Perkins is now one
OF the chief contributors to Mr. Roose-
velt's political fund"
