At the outset OF an argument In reia
ton to the approaching election foI
president and vice president we must
view what has caused the great uprls-
inc in the country in connection with
our economic affairs and the admins
tration of our government In so rar rs
as it relates to that subject
There is 20 Ssefence offered Tor the
extensive privileges created by the
tariff preferences through the Repup-
lican party and the favors to the
privileged classes and corporations.
While weaith has accumulated under
these preferences, a fair field ana no
favor has been denied to the masses
We cannot expect remedies from
men high in office who In their entire
life work have been associates anu
participants with the favored class
Mr.. Roosevelt during his entire career
in politics and as the head or his
party has been the protector OF many
trusts that the tariff has nourishec
and fostered, nor have we found hin

ties. Mr.. Taft in his acts and utter

protective tariff, and would, If elected

Free From Evil Associations.
In Mr.. Wilson and his associate, III
candidate for vice president we hav
two men who have had no association
with the privileged class, who hav
never been in q position to grant o
accept favors or to participate In an
measure that could possibly relate [
their personal welfare or increase thel
incomes. In the respective profession
that these two gentlemen have occl
pied they have been day laborer'
working at their desks as many hour
as the workman who is industriou
and faithful TO his task
The very fact that they have bee
selected as candidates for the Office
president and vice president OF th'>
United States Is IN illustration OF ol
of the great BOASTS OF the America

Are Typical Americans.
No one can safely challenge q
soundness of their views or their lea
ership where economic questions ent
into our governmental affairs. Ih
are typical Americans
Governor Wilson and Governor Nj
shall have both been before the PeoT
when they received the approval or
majority OF the citizens or their
spective states for the high Office
