liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
 We're all socialists, too. as Pat was a socialist, willing to divide up any thing he did not have, but sticking when the division actually came to touch him.
 RooseveIt's Divorce from Republican
 Party.
 Mir Roosevelt obtained a divorce from the republican party on the grounds of non-support. I have no interest in that except in the orphan children that he left and to advise them to come to the democratic party for a temporary home. Then they can go back if Mrs. Roosevelt is ever again reunited to the republican party.
 The Ambition of One Man.
 The attitude of Colonel Roosevelt '-is that of a man without whom civiliza- ton cannot longer survive" declared Governor Marshall. If he should | break leg or lose his voice, would that damned crook Judge Anderson, be compelled to appoint receiver for | our liberties?" continued the demo- cratic nominee for vice president. Tt | is time for sober consideration when | the ambition of one man would lead | us. If he is essential now can we ever | get along without him? I should be | in despair if thought the sober judg | ment of the people would choose him | for permanent president of the United 1 States. 1 do not so believe TNs | American Chanticleer will find that | the sun has arisen on November 5 next, without his growing. Yet it is well for us to be on our guard.
 "Sapping is more dangerous than a Thora ie n0 dtoaopfipU uoi0A in all history to the never ending warning against the ambitions of pop ular men. Thrice Caesar thrust away the crown, each time more gently than the last. He thrust it away be- cause it was consecutively rendered him.
 Spirit of Caesar and Napoleon.
 "A word to the wise American along without Roosevelt now, then when can you? He says it will take forty years to accomplish his work. If he does not live that long, who is to complete 1t for him? Someone he has trained to succeed him? He train ed Taft to succeed him, and Taft failed. If Roosevelt Is essential to the republic, 1t is lost unless reincar- nation is true: and If reincarnation is I true, his is the spirit of Caesar or ] Napoleon.
 i Roosevelps Bolt.
 l MT. Roosevelt went into the Chica- i go convention admitting that certain delegates were honestly elected. He went in as a republican to eliminate the delegates declared by him to have been dishonesty elected a majority of the delegates, in fact practically all the delegates, adopted the platform. It must have been satisfactory to Roosevelt and his supporters, as they | did not oppose it. If Roosevelt were contending for principles. why did he not fight the platform and then, if defeated, bolt? Instead, he bolted a i man.
 Menace to Government.
 Tt will be a sorry day for America when anyone becomes essential to its onward progress. Heaven has been kind to me in limiting my influence. It would be a distinct i'll if anyone should deem me essential to good gov ernment or if l should deem myself essential. Times, customs, govern the menace of life is the man who thinks he is essential to society," | Get Your Money Clean. Coming back to the fight between the aristocrat and the democrat, Gov ernor Marshall said there was a time out in Indiana when any man who got a plug hat and two shirts became a republican. But we must not judge the motives of a man in public life, but see what way he is going, and then if you don't like it take power out of his hands. The economic sys- tenn of this country has fallen into the hands of a hundred men. Get money but get it so clean that your infant child can cut his teeth on 1t without getting microbes into his sys- tenn.
 Cost of Living.
 The cost of living is going up, put on to the people by these trust mag mates. They will have a record break ing year of crops but in twelve months these magnates will own nine-tenths of it. The situation is this: The old republican party declaring in favor of a partnership between the chosen few and government. Governor Marshall made some amusing references and illustrations of the operation of the tariff, which he claimed was a system
 of jugglery Mir Roosevelt has started a new party, and the only good thing in 1t is socialistic But this doesn't mean 1 am a socialist. We democrats stand in the middle ground.
 We are the conservative people of this country and we each want our in- dividual rights.
 I have no protest against the man
 on top in America. I welcome him if
 he can get on top in a fair, square
 fight, and I want the general govern
 ment to be the referee, and in the Ian
 guage of the prize ring, may the best
 man win. Young men, you will do in time what the trusts will let you do
 and they'll crush the life out of you.
 You want your right to the pursuit of happiness in America. To the pleas
 ure hunters of the rich. drunk with the , wine of success, he delivered the part
 ing word that the thing which would |. make them indeed rich would be the restoration Of liberty and justice to
 the people of America.
 l The address of Governor Marshall , | was punctuated all through by the ap-
 plause of his hearers and he was given a rousing sendoff as he concluded, re- r ceiving rising vote of thanks.
 Mayor Tinger of Rockville.
 Mayor Murphy then introduced May } or Tingier of Rockville, the party can l didate for lieutenant governor who l was likewise vociferously greeted. He ! dwelt upon the importance of having , the right men in the state government ] He criticised the republican party foI l unfulflled promises and declared that
 no social reform measure had been } passed in the last ten years except il t had been pushed through by the dem- l ocratic minority. It is the utmost : importance he told the voters, that
 the next legislature should have q
 democratic majority if social reform laws are to be expected He men, ! toned the direct election of United States senators, amendment of savings bank laws and workingmens compen- :, sation act. He congratulated the ! democrats and predicted the dawn oi ! a democratic victory soon to be seen.
