Cincinnati ENQUIRER. !

Political conditions throughout the
Union have assumed such form that it
would now seem to be impossible for his
opponents to defeat Governor Wilson.
The Republican party has given much
OF its strength to the National Progress
i've party; large number of its former
members are now supporting the Social
ist ticket, and yet another class of Rep
ublicans are openly supporting Wilson S
candidacy, hopeless of the success of the
Republican ticket and desiring to insure
the defeat of Colonel Roosevelt, to whom
they attribute the downfall and disrup-
ton of their old party.
These are conditionsprevailing in every
state of the Union, from Maine to Calf
ornia- conditions admitted by adherents
of all the candidates, conditions that
absolutely preclude the success of any
candidate save Governor Wilson.
That the Democrats are suffering slight
losses in certain states and districts is un-
doubtedly true, few to the Republicans
a few to the Socialists, more, probably,
to the Progressive candidate for the Pres
idency, but these losses combined are a
very small percentage of the party vote,
while the gains for Wilson can be esti-
mated at more than three times these
combined losses
This is true in New England, it is true
of the Central States, of the middle West
and the far West, and in the judgement

Jesse 4. Grant, son Of General Ulys-
Tes S. Grant, commander in chief Of
the Union army in the civil war and
Republican president Of the United
States from 1869 to 1877, links the
generation of war veterans and the
young voters of today in the following
appeal, made public by him at his
home in New York:
To the Voter, Especially the New
Voter:
We are facing the 9Th of November
issues of momentous Importance to the
future of the United States. Shall the
old order of things contlnue2 Shall
our economic life be determined-shan
our government continue to be domi-
mated by the thoughts, the desires and
the interests Of those who have been
the principal benehciaries of that gov
ernments patronage or shall the pow
er of government be handed back to
the whole people to be administered
for their common good?
1t was a similar issue fifty-two years
ago, when there arose from out of I'LL
nols a new leader, who held human
rights to be greater than property
rights, whose thoughts were not the
old thoughts, whose vision Of Justice
had not been clouded by association
with the ruling interests.
We are at the threshold of new
period Of transition. Shall the door be
blocked by men who cannot see ahead?
Shall we elect to follow men who.

WocdrOw Wilson'S Message TO the American People

control II would set industry free. The enter
prise and initiative OF all Americans would be
substituted for the enterprise and initiative
Of a small group of them. Economic democracy
would take the place Of monopoly and selfish
management. American industry would have q neu
buoyanoy Of hope, new energy. new variety.
with the restoration OF freedom would cone the
restoration OF opportunity.
Moreover, an admin strat on would al last bs
set up in Washington, and Legislative regime,
under which real programmes OF social better
ment could be undertaken they cannot nov.
The government might be servioeable for many
things. II might assist in hundred ways TO
safeguard the lives and the health and promote
the comfort and the happiness Of the people; but
it can do these things only If its actions be
diattnterested, only If they respond to, public
opinion, only If those who lead government
the country as a whole, feel deep thrill OF
intimate sympathy with every class and every in-
terest in it, know how TO hold an even hand and
listen to men Of every sort and quality and
origin, in taking counsel what IS to be done.
Interest must not fight against interest. There
must be common understanding and free ao-
tton all together.
The that feel justified in appeal
ing 70 the voters or this country to support the
De7ooratio party at this critical junoture in
its affairs Is that the leaders Of neither Of
the other parties propose to attack the problem
Of a free government at its heart. Neither pro-
poses to make a Fundamental change in the policy
Of the government with regard to tariff duties.
1t IS with both Of them in respect Of the tariff
merely question Of more or less, merely ques-
tton Of Topping off little here and amending
q little there; while with the Democrats it is
question ofprincip1e. Their object is to cut
every special favor out, and cut it out just
fest as 1t can be cut out without upsetting the
business processes OF the country. Neither does
either Of the other parties propose seriously to
disturb the supremacy Of the trusts. Their only
remedy IS to accept the trusts and regulate
them, notWithsta anding the fact that most Of the
trusts are constructed as to insure high
prices, because they not based upon efftot-
ency but upon monopoly. Their success lies in
control. The competition Of more efficient
petttors, not loaded down by the debts created
when the combinations we're made, would embarrass
and conquer them. The Trust want the protection
Of the government, and are likely to get 1t If
either the Republican or the so-oalled Progress
sive'' party prevails.
Surely this is a cause. Surely the questions
Of the pending election, looked at from this
point Of view, rise into a cause. They not
merely the debates Of a casual party contest.
They are the issues OF life and death to a ma
tion which must be free in order to be strong.

Taft'S TruSt-Busting Illus
trated by Bryan

"Why is Mr.. Taft not acceptable"
said Hon. VIM. j. Bryan in the course
of his speech at Canton recently.
why is it that the man who got
over half of the electoral votes would
be glad now to get third of them?
1t is because he recognizes that he
has not been satisfactory? Because
he doesn't lead the people i'll their
fight.
He talks about the trusts he has
dissolved. Mr.. Taft has also dissol
we'd two trusts that the same owner
ship controls them, their stock has
gone up 80 per cent, they're doing
business i'll the same way and robbing
ninety millions of people. The only
difference is that now they have a
clean bill of health by a decree of the
United States supreme court sand
sanctioned by the president sof the
United States.
If you don't understand that I'll
make it palmer. Here's an illustrat-
ion; The next time there's a horse
theft arrested, you go to the sheriff
and tell him that you want the Taft
system of justice used in this case.
Tell him not to i1nprison the theft
and not to take the horse away from
him. Tell him to set the theft at lib
erty with the horse he stole, give him
a certificate of character and another
horse to make team, start him off
and say to him; God bless you, see
if you can do it again That's the
Taft system of justice, as it has been
shown in his dealings with the
trusts.
You can't elect Taft and retain
the self respect and honor of the
nation, -
