Condemns Papers and Magazines.
Denying that he deserved the ti..e
'aristocrat" given him by many OPP
ponents, the president assailed the
owners Of newspapers and magazines
for what he termed their injustice
in attacking him because they resent
ed the print paper tariff section and the
second class mail law put into effect
during his administration.
Saying that 1t was possible that the
rich were possibly becoming richer
the president declared that the poor
were not getting poorer and insisted
that on the contrary, their general con-

The Republican party stands for
protection of the nations industries,
for the retention Of the Philippines and
the enlightment Of the Filipinos; for
widespread education for those cleo

best opportunity to express their pref

have decided they were unwise, to re-
turn to us, and stand again, shoulder to
shoulder, with us iii this critical time
in our countrys history.
Let us invite from the ranks of our
opponents, the Democrats the many
who love the constitution and the
blessings it has conferred upon the
people, to unite with US in its defense.
1t must be a campaign Of education
among the common people for the bene-
fit of the common people against the
poison of class hatred, the fanatacism
of unbalanced enthusiasts, the sophis

Wiles Of the false friends of humanity
