as it relates to that subject.
There is no defence offered for tn,
extensive privileges created by the
tariff preferences through the Repub
lican party and the favors to the
privileged classes and corporations
While wealth has accumulated under
these preferences, a fair field and ne
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 anG
participants with the, favored class
Mr.. Roosevelt during his entire career
in politics and as the head of his
party has been the protector Of many
trusts that the tariff has nourished
and foStered, nor have we found him
in the seven and one-half years of his
official life as president strenuous in
removing tariff iniquities and inequali
ties. Mr.. Taft in his acts and utter.
ances is a party man, believing in a
protective tariff, and would, If elected

Free From Evil Associations.
In Mr.. Wilson and his associate, the
candidate for vice president, we have
two men who have had no associations
with the privileged class, who have
never been In a position to grant or
accept favors or to participate in any
measure that could possibly relate to
their personal welfare or increase their
incomes. In the respective professions
that these two gentlemen have occu-
pied they have been day laborers
working at their desks as many hours
as the workman who is Industrious
and faithful to his task.
The very fact that they have been
selected as candidates for the Office OF
president and vice president of these
United States Is an illustration of one
of the great boasts of the American
people that the man who is faithful to
his trust, honest in his work, fearless
and courageous in his opinions, will in
time be noticed and receive a reward
They have watched with concern every
side Of our political life that enters
into the government of our people.

Of situations as they arose.
Are Typical Americans.
No one can safely challenge the
soundness of their views or their lead
ership where economic questions enter
into our governmental affairs. They
are typical Americans.
Governor Wilson and Governor Mar
shall have both been before the people
when they received the approval OF
majority of the citizens of their re
spective states for the high Office of
governor. IL it be the good fortune
of the country to have these two gen
tlemen occupy the presidency and vice
presidency Of these United States we
have the assurance that in their deeds
and acts they will labor to remove the
unrest that has been created in the al
ministration of our governmental at
fairs and that there will be equal laws
for all the people and not special laws
and special protection, and that the
highest ideals of government of the
people, by the people and for the PEG
pie will be brought into fullest realiza
ton.
