accept tho reciprocity pact. while the
republicans voted solidly to repeal 1t.
Wilson for FREQ Farm Products.


" in favor Of Canadian reciprocity
and that the democratic platform de.
clares against any protection whatever
upon any necessity Of life and that ev-
cry food product II the nrst and prime
necessity Of life. With a democratic
congress and a democratic president
the farmers products will be compet-
ing not only with the products Of Can
ado at their doors but with the pro-
ducts Of the whole world.
These should be reasons enough why
every man in the state should cast his
vote for Mr.. Taft. But Mr.. Taft
ought also to be elected for the fol-
lowing additional reasons:
Because he stands for the constitu-
ton Of the United States and for a
stable government which is being ser.
iously threatened by the manys isms
Of this campaign.
because ne represents the party
policy Of protection as declared In the
republican platform upon which the
prosperity Of this country has always
rested.
Because the democratic party stands
Tor and represents the policy Of tariff
Tor revenue only which has always
brought with it Industrial stagnation
with all its attendant evils.
Because. under this policy of pro.
lection. We are more prosperous to.
day than ever before.
Because. with that policy abandon
ed. we will reap the same disasters
that followed the tariff for revenue
only law of 1894.
Because there has never been a time
IN our history when the farm pro-
ducts Of the northwest would pur-
chase as much as they do today.
Because. under this policy Of pro-
lection, there Is not today an idle
mill or the necessity Of an idle man
in the United States. -
Third Party Not In It.
Remember also that this battle is q
battle between the two old paries. the
democratic and the republican. Every
republican vote cast for the third par
" Is equivalent to a vote cast for the
democratic nominee. Every demo-
cratic vote cast for the third party is
equivalent to a vote cast for the re-
publican nominee. There Is no possi-
otlity on earth Of electing third par
ty candidate In this election. The
only effect OF this third party move
ment is to defeat the republican party
IN this election. and against that ev-
cry true republican should advance as
OF old to the firing line.
Neither Mr.. Taft or Mr.. Wilson
Will be the next president and II we
want democratic president we ought
10 De courageous enough to say SO
ana vote for Mr.. Wilson. II we want
q republican president We must cast
our vote for Mr.. Taft and no one
else.
Remember further that there ,s
more at stake in this Campaign than
the mere election "a nraaiSa.t ~
the United States.
constitutional government with the
constitutional guarantee Of life, liber-
ty and property are issues in this cam
.paign. Remember further that the
creed Of this third party inevitably
leads to the destruction Of constitu-
ttonal government. the destruction Of
with It the destruction Of every SAFE
guard Of human liberty and unboueh.
justice.
Other Issues at Stake.
Remember that one article of the
new creed sounds the death knell of
All composition. and the substitution
theretor Of tesaliSed monopolies con-
trolled by the government.
Remember that the new creed
which advocates a minimum wage
scale In the production Of any article
inevitably leads to the fixing of a
minimum price for the thing produced
ana that leads finally to the fixing
Of the price OF every commodity con.
sumed by man; and that Is paternal-
ism or socialism in its rankest and
maddest form.
Remember that the house is TODAY
democratic. After March 4 the SEN
ate is liable to be democratic. Our
safety, our continued prosperity, de-
pends upon the retention Of repub.
lican president. 49,.
We haven't a dollar to spend in
paign OF unself1sh patriotism to party
and country and SO we are today call
ing upon every patriotic .republica n
to labor from now on until the polls
close in the cause Of President Taft. i"
