There can be no doubt Of this. But
he hasn't 1t. is has topheavy fol-

the party has slid out from under II.
II stands today on s:llts.
Mr.. Roosevclt's election would
mean the continuance. In force OF Tho
best policies Of the Republican party:
would mean the cStablishment OF .

Industries: that will protect the Amer

American markets against invasion
from abroad,
Il can understand how disturbing

Moreover. not only is 1t opposet

Right n, this time the people Of the
nation are demanding = positive force

They realize that prof. Wilson is

cast their ballots for Prot. Wilson and
thereby defeat Colonel Roosevelt.
In others worda, Roosevelt Ia the
man they dread. Since 1870 this eoun.
try has had two parties In name only.
Wall Street. the special privileges and
money rs~er has been In control Of
both these parties precisely the same
in the nation ~ the corporations have
bcen In control of state politics. In
Denver money has been paid to both
sides. Legislatures have been corrupt
cd from both aides.
Thus It will be seen that for The
first time in forty years and over. the
people Of the country really have two
parties. The one. the Progressive
party. unalterably opposed TO Wall
Street and Its domination. and the
other two. the Republican and Demo
cratic. seeking the good sraces Of
these great organizations Of wealth.
hoping thereby to perpetuate either
the che or the other Of these old par.
ties in power.
