sible to rise from a careful reading
OF his tariff discussion without being
convinced that he is a standpatter now

Certainly only a very stupid man
would expect him to curb the trusts

it was not misplaced. Did he not stay
the hand of his plant attorney gen

Attacks Republican Policy.
Governor Thomas R Marshall, in his
formal speech of acceptance of the
Democratic vice presidential nomina-
ton, delivered to the notification here
OF the grounds that ii had fostered
special privilege TO the point of max
ing men everywhere socialistic in the
cry If not in conduct
In this connection, he said:
1T is idle for a thoughtful man in
America, whether millionaire or pau
per, to longer play the ostrich Safety
does not consist in hiding ones head
hope. It is foolish for the vastly rich
to keep on insisting that more and
more shall be added to their riches
through specioUs system OF special
legislation ostensibly enacted to run
the government in reality enacted to
loot the people
TT is worse than ignorance for them
to smile at the large body of intelligent
Americans who regard themselves as
fortunate if the debit and credit ac-
counts of life balance at the end OF the
many, who are becoming convinced that
that social system that we call
democracy is but a glittering -gener-
ality, will long endure the Industrial
slavery being produced.
Whether voting the ticket or not,
men everywhere looking upon the
awful injustice of this economic system
are becoming SoclallStic IN theory II
not in conduct
And shall any fair-minded man say
that if it rebounds 10 the interests OF
the people Of this country tnat nun
dred men shall control its business TO
the good Of everyone, that there IS any
thing fallacious in the theory that gov
eminent instead of transferring bust
ness to a favored few for the benefit
of all should itself discharge that bust
ness for the benefit of all
Ancient Ideals Impossible.
Il do not hesitate TO say that If II De

its ancient choice between the paternaI-
ism of the few and the socialism OF the
many, count me and my house with the
throbbing heart of humanity.
The discomfort in Republican ranks
is Democratic discomfort How much OF
il has reached the point where Wearled
tenn, it is willing to topple that system
over and try something new, 1 cannot
prophesy.
But I am quite sure that whatever
badges men may wear in America this
year, whatever ballots they may cast md
whatever battle cries they may utter,
there are but three grades OF cltlzens-
The first grade IS made up oil the
favored few, their hangers-On and their
beneficiaries, who think the eagle IS
upon the dollar, not as an emblem OF
liberty but as an emblem of power
and who look upon government as an
annex to their business affairs; these
are they who in the past years OF Re
publican misrule have turned the tenn
L
money changers mart and have made OF
the coordinate branches of the gov
eminent obedient lackeys of - jlng-
ling guinea.
whose outlook upon life has been en-
larged by the civilization under Wnlcn
we live, who have been taught by the
school and the college, by the press
and the magazine, who appreciate the
good things of life, whose horizon has
been enlarged, and whose capacity Tor
10y and sorrow has been increased.
Conditions UnbearabIc.
Conditions have become Unbearable
to them They have reached the point
where. in the struggle for that which
ing to destroy the ideals Of the repub-
lie How many of these there are,
do not know, but 1 DO know that 5pe-
cial privilege in the republic IS breed
ing them day by day like rabbits IL a
The third grade of citizens it
pleases me to call old-tashloned con-
stitutional Democrats. These are they
who believe that the equality of man
kind does not consist in an equality OF
brain and Drawn, but in an equality
whereby every man, native and foreign
born, has an inalienable right TO eN-
ercise all Of his ability in getting on
in the world just so he realizes that
in getting on he owes 1t 10 hlmsef,
to it that he gets on honestly, aid that
he does not prevent any other man
from obtaining the reward of his hon
esty and enterprise
These old-fashioned Democrats be-
lieve in making money, but they believe
every dollar made should be so clean
that an infant may cut its tie tn upon
it And they hold that II is not part
of government to boost one man and
boot another"
