Our opposition to Wilson is not captOua
nor personal: it is based ON his official record,
and it is matter of principle.
We cannot endorse him
Because he has appointed Republican ne
groes to high office which placed them In au-
thority over white people,;
Because he has retained Papal spy at the
White House, as his confidential private secre-
tary;
Because he has held secret political con-
ferences with Cardinal Gibbons, and the
Pope's political ambassador;
Because he has appointed 4th Degree
Knights of Columbus to the most important
positions in the Civil, the Military, and the
Diplomatic Services
Because he went out Of his way to tele-
graph to the National Convention platform
declaration, which condemns all such patriotic
organizations as the Guardians of Liberty,
the Knights of Luther, the Great Secret
Society, the Junior Order Of Mechanics, and
the Patriotic Sons Of America.
Because he has sanctioned to increase the
number and rank Of Roman Catholic priests
in the Army and Navy, thus giving position
of vast advantage to the Italian Pope who
claims the first allegiance of all Catholics
Because he has sanctioned the Hay Cham
berlin Army Reorganization bill, whose 10Th
Section empowers the President to force mill
tary service upon citizens, when the reserves
cannot be filed with volunteers,
Because he has departed from the historic
Democratic position on the Tariff, and has
become a Hamiltonian protectionist;
Because he has deserted the historic Demo-
cratic position on national banks, and has put
upon us the internal system concocted by the
Republican Senator A1drich and his Monetary
Commissions;
Because he abandoned the time -honored
Democratic position Of antagonism to a stand
ing Army, and has approved the Republican
policy Of Militarism;
Because he has enormously increased the
number of Offices, and the expenses of the
Government, and has trampled upon the Con-
stitutional law which declares that the militia
shall not be called out Of the States, unless
there is invasion, instruction, or resistance
to the laws Of the land;
Because he has sanctioned Acts Of Congress
which vest arbitrary power in the Postmaster
General to abridge the freedom of the press
Because he has set his personal opinion
against the Will of the people, on the vitality
essential subject of restricted Immigration;
Because he has Knocked and defied his plat
form pledges, and is now asking a second
term in violation Of his pledge to the single
term.
Because he refused relief to the distressed
farmers, at the very time he relieved that Of
European tourists, Silver-mine owners, and
the Wall Street gamblers who robbed the
farmers of 100000 on the crop Of 1914;
Because, finally, he is no Democrat, no
peoples man, no faithful public serv-
anti but on the contrary is, in principle,
Republican; at heart, a cold, academic
aristocrat; and, in office, a most servile tool
Of the Specially Privileged, who, under such
laws as he favored, rob the producer of what
is his as fast as he can bring it to market,
He saws that wealth has increased 81
