 AND PREDISPOSITIONS OF
 PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES

 not done rightly.
 l One candidate forced the people to be
 come candidate stands alone, unique
 as man. grand as to character, and i'm
 posing as a statesman We have no one
 in public life today that can be justly compared with him. No man of any age in history has had higher controlling sense or duty. He is at his post of duty
 regardless of health or banquets. He never neglects duty to win applause, nor
 yet for the purpose of amending his DO l litical fences
 While President Taft and Governor VII. son were chosen to fill executive places
 they have had the state and national gov
 ernment on wheels. The Pullman palace car stops on their order at points where | people will congregate to hear their dis sertationsl as to my policies Both call
 on their friends for aid and both are
 pastmasters in the management of steam 1 rollers.
 l Contrast the conduct of these dignitaries | with the course persued by Mir. Under wood He remains at his post of duty, holding high above the entrenchedl fortress or moneyed interests the banner of his people on which is embazened.. Tariff taxation to produce revenue sufficient

Mr. Underwood Is today the foremost. disciple Of Frankin.'a He is constant, unremitting worker. He has always advocated measures that have been in the interests of our country and all the people.
 We have those that denounee big bus mess, and yet they have made big business of destroying property because they could not control those whose aid constructed the work We have others that denounces big business and yet they | are accommodating property more rapidly than any of the "big corporations except the Standard oil and the Calcium Carbide combination. These lines both lead to anarchism in the end.
 | MT Underwood regards business men as the workers, instead of and in con- tradistinction to the plutocrat or polem- icist, both of which work others. while they toll not. neither do they spin" It is not strange, therefore, that the
 responsible business men (not the Char | latans or pie-counter troupes that hope for rewards) are earnestly advocating the nomination of MT. Underwood because of
