the big fellow" but il I am correctly
informed you have ]. Pierpont Nor
gan, who, through his leading Satel :
lite, Mr.. Perkins, is financing the
Roosevelt campaign, and Perkins
means the United States steel crowd;
the Wall street money trust; the TO-
bacco trust; the Standard OIL crowd;
and their kindred interests that have
dominated this government for quar-
ter of a century.
White-StanIey Interests the Same.
The real truth is, you, representing
Mr. Roosevelt, are not fighting for the
Deople any more than Mr.. Stanley,
representing Mr.. Taft, is fighting for
the people. You both represent
enormous wealth and corporate inter-
ests who have as you say, got the
benefit of tariff and other legislation,
and then, got their money back with
80 per cent interest in high tariff and
unjust rates of various kinds legalized
by those whose campaign expenses
they paid"
The fight now between you is sim
ply this: All are receiving the bene-
fit of the high tariffs, but the Taft
crowd is at the pie counter dlstrlb-
uting hundreds of millions of dollars
of hard earned American money
raised by enormous taxation and ex-
pended by this same corrupt crowd in
contracts and Roosevelt
and his crew. are now attempting TO
get control of those contracts that
they have been kicked away from by
it is a dirty fight for supremacy with
in the Republican party and you are
too decent a man to stay with that
crown any longer.
You say in this circular that you
want contributions and liken your fol-
lowers to the ravens who fed Elijah,
and say you by the way are one of
the ravens and l hope you realize how
we need your help"
OF course 1 knew a large part of
the Republican party was black, but
L never knew one of it's leaders to
class all of them as black, and nken
them to birds.
L know the world is full of suck
ers, but you seem to have deserted
the fish business and gone into the
that can see is, one goes in the wa
ter and the other goes in the air, |
and you hope that they will light in
your crows nest.
Says White Is Backward.
You are backward, my dear Will
liam in joining our party. Do not for |
get that I invited you second time |
at Baltimore, and the door of the |
Democratic party is always open for
men who want to do what you say |
you desire to accomplish in that cir |
,ular letter. In a great many par !
lCuldTSs especially III WHAT you say J
about the big fellows I am in accord |
with you, but can not see with the |
light that God has given me to see /
he right wherein you will accom-
Olish any good by attempting to make |
he vast army of Republicans to vote
,or Mr.. Roosevelt, when if you knew
he conditions of the country today |
you would know full well that they |
ire going to the polls to vote as Re-
1ublicans for Woodrow Wilson for the |
purpose of undoing the very things
you say the Republicans have been do
ng and for bringing about a govern
nent by the people, and for the peo-
pie, and little honesty in the admin
stration of public affairs.
Very truly,
VIM. F. SAPP
P. S. I shall use this letter and
your circular as a request to all peo-
pie who believe that the Democrats
Are right to raise a campaign fund for
Woodrow Wilson.
The Democratic party divorced it
self from the predatory interests of |
his country at Baltimore, and it needs
he help of every honest Democrat |
md Republican who believe with us
o furnish the campaign funds to elect
his great and good man.
