help rather than disturb business be-
cause they have absolute confidence
that he means every word of it when
he says:
I'VE DON'T WANT TO DIS
TURB THE INDUSTRY OF THE
COUNTRY. THE CHANGES
GIN THE TARIFF WHICH WE
MAKE SHOULD BE MADE
ONLY AT SUCH A RATE AND
IN SUCH A WAY AS WILL
LEAST INTERFERE WITH THE
NORMAL AND HEALTHFUL
COURSE OF COMMERCE AND
MANUFACTURE"
To Fool the Voter.
I call your special attention to the
fact OF these evident conditions of
heavy business in the face of the very
apparent election of Wilson and Mar
shall. What does this mean? Simply
that the legitimate business world
knows that the election of the Demo
cratic ticket means continual and IN
precedented prosperity, yet in spite of
this the Republican managers make
this wicked attack, which, If it has
any effect at all, can be only to fool
the voters and to create worry and
hardship in the minds of some of the
people where there is no basis for any
feeling except that Of happy anticipa-
ton Of better things to come when our
candidates are elected.
Give special attention to this line of
attack in order that you may meet 1t
and overcome it's effects. They are
writing these letters, putting their ad-
vertisements in the papers and maya
zines and on the billboards with the
unholy purpose Of falsely soaring peo-
pie into voting the Republican ticket.
Please let me know at once if these
attacks are having any influence among
the people or in any Of the communi-
ties where you have had occasion to
observe.
myself and the national committee
want to cooperate with you, and we
want you to help rs bring about the
greatest Democratic victory this coun-
try has ever seen. We do this with
the full knowledge that Democratic
victory will mean greater business
prosperity, greater demands for wage
earners and greater opportunities for
every person in our nation, with the
exception Of those who are now enjoy
ing special and unfair privileges under
the law. Sincerely yours,
WILLIAM F.. INCOMES,
Chairman Democratic National Com
mittee.

Mr.. Roosevelt proposes in his plat
form not to abolish monopoly, but to
take 1t under the legal protection of the
government and to regulate it, to take
the very men into partnership who
have been making it impossible to car
ry out these great programs by which
all of us wish to help the people. p
We don't want to disturb the indus
try of the country, but to destroy the
control over the industry of other peo-
pie which these men have established
and which makes it impossible that we
should give ourselves free field of
service.
Tariff schedules have been made for
the purpose of keeping as large a
number as possible of the rich and In

in good humor with the Republican
party which desired their constant
financial help.

National Chairman Mecombs Calls
Attention Of Wilson Supporters to
Necessity Of Meeting This Unjust
Attack.

Democratic National committee,
New York, Oct. Is, 1912.
NV Dear Democratic Friend and Co.
worker:
The success of the Democratic tick
et on Nov. is dependent wholly upon
the activities Of you loyal working
Democrats. And we are depending
upon you with absolute confidence |
know that the responsibilities are
heavy, but further know that the re-
suits will justify this confidence which
we place in you. The way to attain
the most effective results Is to have
each voting district SO thoroughly or
gsnized that every Democratic voter
will be brought to the polls on election
day and will vote the Democratic tick
ct. When elections are lost 10 the
Democrats it Is generally because the
democratic vote has not been brought
out. Will you surely see to it that all
your Democrats vote this year?
Senator Gore, who is chairman OF
the organization bureau Of the nation
a. committee, is delighted and en-
thusiastic about the way the real
democratic workers are getting into
the harness, and he feel this same de.
rcndence and confidence in you.
.' "Wolf! Wolff" ...
take the liberty of calling your at
tention to line Of attack on US that
is being used by the Republicans, and
l urge you to guard against and to
counteract in your district. They are
raising the false and wholly unbound
ed charge that Democratic success
will mean business depression. To
show you one way in which they are
attempting this line of fooling the
voters quote few sentences from
q letter recently got out from their
Chicago headquarters which they are
now sending the business firms:
"The campaign now in progress
has direct personal interest for
you. Upon it's result depends the
maintenance of the present bust
ness prosperity which the country
is enjoying. Why sacrifice present
prosperity for uncertainty and de-
preston, which a tariff 1or reve-
nue. only would certainly bringT
That these suggestions are wholly
false and are wickedly made to fool
the people is evidenced by the fact
that with the election short time
of and with almost every reader and
thinker and political observer beNev-
ing that Wilson and Marshall will be
elected, yet practically every line of
business is showing extremely mark
ed activity. The railroads are placing
heavy orders for new rails and equip
ment, and their earnings are running
ahead of last year by many millions
Of dollars monthly, wholesale houses
are having tremendous demands for
goods, the steel mills and factories are
full OF orders, and bank clearings show
heavy gains all over the country. This
intense business activity ID due to the.
fact that the business world knows
