NJ. KE NO MISTAKE. VOTE FOR
TAFT AND PARRAN.


Before another issue Of the hide
pendent reaches its readers Notion
al Election will have been held
throughout the country. The Re-
publicaus have nominated for stand
ard bearer William Howard Taft fol
President. He is standing upon the
platform Of protective tariff
through which and as a result of
which the people of this Nation are
today enjoying more prosperity than
ever before in the history of the
country. They stand for the pro /
lection of American industries, to
the farmers and to the American la
boring man.
Under the Republican administra-
ton for the last four years the peo-
pie Of this country have enjoyed pro-
lection, and prosperity without hound
The mills and factories are running
from morning to night, their is plen
ty of work for laboring men at re-
muneratiye wages. The farmer is
getting more for his products than
ever before in the history of this
country.
The Democratic Partys.ands upon
a platform OF tariff for revenue only.
which practically meaas free trade.
The same identical words that ap-
peared in the platform of 1892, upo
which Grover Cleveland was elected
are also incorporated in the present
democratic platform upon which
Woodrow Wilson stands. Follow
ing the election q GrlverCleveland in
1892, tariff law, known as the Will
son-Gorman Tariff Law was passed
in accordance with the promises by
the Democrats at that time. After
the passage of this measure, mills and
factories were closed, laboling men
were thrown on. Of employment, and
the farmers got little or nothing for
their crops, and soup houses were es-
tablished IN every city throughout
the Nation.
This is campaign between the
Republican Party on one hand and
the Democratic Party on the other.
One question that the American yot-
er asks himself, is whether or not he
wants to continue toenjoy protection
and prosperity which he has under
the Republican Administration or
whether be wants to go back TO the
days of Grover Clevelandism, when
business aud labor we're on the verge
of stagnation.
As we see it, it is the duty of the
American voter in this election to lay
aside.all pr JUDGE, and to vote for
the best interest of his country
Giving consideration to the records
Of the two parties in the past and the
platforms upon which they stand, as
well as the healthy condition of this
country today, in which prosperity
abcunds, 50 largely, it is the duty Of
ever, American voter 10 vote the Re
publican ticket, thus assuring contin-
ned prosperity Of the American labor
ng man.
Mr.. Taft during the foui years that
be has been in Office has made re- I
cord that is unassailable from any !
standpoint. He is big man, a man

rom his every act that he is practi- =
;al man and it is in the hands Of !
practical man that the people of this /,
country should have and do want the /
