doubt in the minds of the leaders of
that party is how to use the votes it
has to get the things it wants. These
things were defined as simple
and not numerous. First and biggest
is to drive out the special interests
and restore the government to the
control of the people. "Three-fourths
OF the people want the special inter
ests put out of politics and the trusts
controlled" said Mr.. Pinchot. In re-
ferring TO the tariff, he said:
THE tariff must be properly re-
vised. 1t must genuinely and honestly
be made by all the people of the
United States for the benefit of all.
I'VE want the power of the people
OF the United States to be used for
their own benefit, not to use the
power of the people LESS to help the
people as MIR. Wilson says, but to
use the power OF the people MORE
to help the people
square Deal Legislation.
Mr.. Pinchot declared that every
man. woman and child in the United
States must be within the reach OF
the square deal legislation,' which
gives an equal chance to all. The
conservation policy must be carried
out and the OF the country
nsed for the benefit OF all the peo-
pie and not for the benefit of the
special interests.
MIR. Wilson is honest and honor
able said the speaker. He makes
mistakes in some things but | firmly
believe he is honest IN purpose. inc
principal thing TO understand NOW Is
that Wilson is an experiment. NO
man living can tell whether he would
:. make a good president or not. AS AN
illustration: Many who employ much
!; labor know OF men who are good
workers and fill to advantage the
minor positions but who would fan
in higher positions, where executive
ability is necessary. The principal
thing that disappointed me IN wilson
+. was that he was 'pussy-footed, IN ms
letter of acceptance. He did not come
f boldly out and declare what he was
e.. or was not for and he wrote that
speech in such a way as to try and
not offend anybody
/ THE big question to keep III
mind" said the speaker, lis that YOU
cannot elect the candidate OF amy
, party without hat party going into
power also. If Wilson gets into powel
r so also does the democratic party
Conservation Policy.
+, Mr. Pinchot went into detail il
: describing the conservation policy
e He def cd it as, using the nationa
resources, not locking them up an'
they must be developed but no
wasted He declared that behin(
> every monopoly is the control o
some naturel resource by the inter
ests, and that no problem before th'
people today relates so much TO TIL
i, high cost OF living as the c%onserva
lion policy. ''You cannot BUY a PAL

:. icle which does not contain IN 1t
- Drice the cost of wood. The NOR

more YOU must pay for everything

N DESTROYING three times more flores

statement of the former chief fores
ter. In showing the attitude OF TIA
e democrats toward conservation II
le showed that the democratic congres

N under the guise OF economy, and lie
Ut $1,000. 000. GOO worth OF propert

m called economy. He then quoted a
as instance Whereby Mr.. Roosevelt

bers couldn't get at them. He decla
in ed that the states rights doctrlr

the United States is now III the hah'
Il of ten corporations and declared TN
I'D one of the best moves MIR. RooseVe
ever made was when he put MS 10

interests to pay for the use OF t

OF the case of the forest appropr

I a How can the farmers conslt
