isfaction Of being governed by living
men. Not all OF them are a satisfac-
ton to us, but most Of them are. And
when we have tested them recently,
most of them knew what they wanted.
simply cite this as an example 80
that you will be inspired to enroll
among the living; not be related to the
classification of the dead"
Governor Wilson said. in the course
OF his speech:
Some time ago during the campaign
which preceded the two Republican po-
liticaI conventions, you remember that
there was a very interesting campaign
between Mr.. Taft and Mr. Roosevelt, and
everything that anybody could say
against Mr.. Taft, Mr.. Roosevelt said.
and everything that anybody could say
against Mr.. Roosevelt Mr.. Taft said, and
the Democrats were inclined to believe
both OF them, for the truth was that Mr..
Taft was merely the successor of Mr..
Roosevelt in the prosecution of policies
which Mr.. Taft did not alter, and merely
sought to confirm and establish
THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE.
you have therefore this extraordin-
airy spectacle, of two branches OF the
Republican party, both OF them led by
men clearly responsible for the very
ter, and the reason that some OF the in
surgent Republicans are not following
Mr. Roosevelt, the reason that men like
Mr.. LaFollette. for example. are not fol-
lowing Mr.. Roosevelt, is that they al
ready have tested Mr.. Roosevelt when
he was president. and have found that
he was not willing to cooperate with
them, along any line that would be eff
ficient in the checking of the evils Of
which we complain.
$50. that the leader OF the very move
ment which is proposed for our ennanci-
patton is a man who has been tried
in this very matter, and not found,
either willing or competent to accom-
plish the objects that we now seek. In
order to confirm my view Of the matter,
you have only to read Mr.. La Follette's
biography. There, in detail. It is told
how Mr.. La Toilette and others like him
carried proposals to the then president,
Mr.. Roosevelt, which would have made
this campaign inconceivable, and after
he had, feeling his first generous i'm
pulse, consented to cooperate with
them, he subsequently drew back and
refused to cooperate with them, under
what influences do not care to con-
lecture, because it is not my duty, and it
would be very distasteful to me to call
IN Qu6SIlOn the MOVIES OF THIS gentle
man. That is not my object or my
desire.
POINTING OUT FACTS.
MY object is merely to point out the
facts, that the very conditions we are
trying to remedy were built up under
those two gentlemen who are the OPP
ponents of the Democratic party. There
fore, to my mind, IT is a choice between
Tweedle Dunn and Tweedle Dee, to
choose between the leader Of the one
branch of the Republican party and the
leader OF the other branch of the Re-
publican party, because what the whole
country knows to be true, these gentle
men deny. The whole country knows
that special privilege has sprung up
in this land. The whole country knows.
except these gentlemen, that ii has been
due chiefly to the protective tariff. These
gentlemen deny that special privilege
has been caused by the administration
OF the protective tariff. They deny
what all the rest Of the country has
become convinced is true"
