ember, but even so. that doesn't take
away from the enjoyment one can get
in listening to the thrustS and gtbeS,
and smashes and verbal sledge nam
Ier blows the stump speakers deal
out I've been attending a lot OF poN-
tic al rallies lately, just TO learn now
narrow and how big my political be-
Eefs were. I've been Jared TO thin
how small I've been, and I've smiled
with SNUG satisfaction to know that
Bryan, or Taft or Roosevelt thinks the
way ! do. I've blushed when wom-
On derided what | thought were sin,
ctre beliefs, and blushed again when
on equally illustrous feminine COM
11ended some inward thoughts.
If you're for Roosevelt you shrieked
aloud, as did many about me, when
he consigned an opposing Californian
to the Ananias Club. Then along
comes Adam Bede and tells you with
Roosevelt lying isn't habits
gift
At Armageddon.
I'VE stand at ArmageddOn and we
fight on the side of the Lord thunder
ed Roosevelt, while a blatant sur
ruinding crew of illiterate politicians
looked wonderingly as though to ask.
Where in hell is Armageddon and
whose the candidate from that dis
trict?" And then comes back the-ta,
a night or two later from a wit speak
Ell. This Bull Moose you know is
per cent moose and SO per cent Bull.
Not bad you see, no matter where
your sympathies be. Taft is laige
body surrounded by men who know
exactly what they want" insinuated a
Bull Moose. And Adam Bede came
back. Il organized company of boy
scouts back in minnesota, and the first
thing did was to provide them with
a gymnasium with wrestling mats and
boxing gloves and everything that
goes with the presidency"
Now Comes Berger.
Now comes Berger, the Socialist
Congressman, VINO spoke here night
| before last Tat is honest but unable
20 see anything but his own side, viii
SON will be a tool of the capitalists
and be another Cleveland Roosevelt
thinks trusts are a natural outcome
of conditions, but those that support
him are good trusts and those in ops
position are bad?'
Believe that? Then you must be a
| Socialist.
Now listen to John Harlan, son of
the former jurist Roosevelt bosses
his popularity on the crowds that turn
out to hear him. About the same sized
crowds attend RinglinZ Bros, circus.
The only differences between the two
Is that Ringlings have the greatest
show on earth and Roosevelt has no
show at ALL"
Score for .-arlan.
You should vote for Taft you peo-
pie of California, if for no other rea-
son than he gave you the Panama
Pacific Worlds fair" Great cheers
for Harlan and Taft.
Enter Frank Henry. with this intro
duction. Il present to you Theodore
| Roosevelt, the man who made the
worlds fair possible by building the
Panama Canal"
Tremendous noise from the Bull
Mooses and the-"Moos crimes"
AS To Wilson.

| yet have you? Well as Bryan eX-
blamed it the other day in a speech
in San Francisco. ITO proceed in a
| logical manner | can discuss Wilson
who will serve a nrst term if elected,
! Taft who will serve a second term if
elected, and roosevelt who will serve
as long as he can. The Chicago Re-
| publican convention began as a trag-
edy, ended as comedy. For a while
| was alarmed lest the contending
factors die of laughter
Wilson stands for one term" de-
clared Bryan. What little forms there
are in the so-called third term move
ment is taken from the Democratic
platform. That platform is fostered
! Ey Democratic ideals, and Woodrow
Wilson is the logical man to carry
out these ideals constructively and
cOmpetently."
Professor Wilson" sneers Roose-
welt, with the accent on the professor,
intimating to the common people
whom he loves. What can a Pro
fessor know of the practical things of
life" clever bit of psychology, when
repeated and reiterated
Wilson is an amiable and culHvat-
ed man, tut the theory of government
which he processes in a theory pro
posed in a few universities genera
ton after it had been abandoned by
every man and woman engaged in
pr actical work for social betterment.
Drawing 6ede.
Here comes Adam Bede with
Theodore wells for us to have big
families, and then the first thing he
does is to bring on panic so they
can be clothed or fed
And he continues apropos of things
in general Talk about the high cost
OF living saw a sign in the New
York street cars calling attention to
a fine of $500 for splitting on street
cars-and a few years ago We spit 10Y
nothing
"The Socialist party is the only OH"
that has recognized wOman'S suffrage
since 1860" declared Congressman
