Some Po'itk a! Reasons.
A Dozen Reasons Why I Should
Vote Against President Taft
E'cause:
1. He signed the Payne -
Aldrich Tariff Bill, and referred to
it as the best tariff law even en
acted.
2. He vetoed the Farmers'
Free Lis. Bill, the Woolen Bill, and
other bills reducing excessive tar
iff duties.
3. He has failed to take any
steps to lessen the present high
cost of living.
4. He supported Ballinger in
his efforts to turn rich coal deposits
in Alaska over to the Cuggenh.dims.
5. He has used federal patron
age to maintain a political machine
manipulated in his behalf.
6. Ids abandoned his official
duties to enter into an undignified
scramole with his predecessor for
renomination, x.
7. He has lost the confidence
of his party and of the people.
8. He failed to support Dr.
Wiley in his administration of the
Pure Food Law.
9. His trust policy has help d
the trusts and brought no relief to
the people.
10. His administration has re
sulted in disappointment and fail
ure.
1 1. He is a reactionary.
12. Ex-President Roosevelt,
who knows him best, says of him:'
"He has proved faithless to ti e
cause of the American people."
A Dozen Reasons Why I Should
Vote Against Ex-President
Roos ivelt
Because:
I. He has broken his solemn,
promise not to be a candidate for a ;
third term, therefore his otner
promfees are not to be relied upon.
' 2. For seven years he was
president, and during those seven I
years the very conditions he now
pretends to combat viciously were
more thoroughly developed then
during all the other periods in tire
country's history.
t
3. The day he became Presi
dent there were 1 49 trusts, capit -
lized at $5,000,000,000, and tne
day he retired from office there
woe 1.020 such combinations,
capitalized at $51,000,000,000.
4. He permitted Lhe Steel
Trust to acquire the Tennessee
Coal Company, its principal rival,
in violation of the anti-trust law.
and forbade the prosecution of the
Harvester Trust of the request of
George W. Perkins, his present
National Chairman.
5. The man, next to Rcosevelt.
responsible for the third term is
Geo. W. Perkins; Perkins is the
promoter and defender of the
most pernicious trusts in the
United States, which are the most
vicious impose it on the men. wo-:
mui and children wage earners of,
the country.
6. lie urges the legislation of
trust watered stock and monopoly,!
as first advocated by PERKINS,;
his principal supporter and finan
cial backer.
7. He accepted campaign con ,
tributions from trusts, insurance
companies aind "crooked business," j
and denied that he had done so
"My dear Hardman." He stands!
for "Boss” Flinn, "Boss" Woodruff
and other "Bosses" who serve him. ’
8. During the seven years he
was President, he failed, even re
fused, to lift a finger aj ainst nigh
tariff. Who believes, if elected, he
would try fo reduce excessive tariff
taxes? Why is he surrounded now
by high tariff men, who . re contri
buting freely to his campaign fund?
9. He loves war better than
peace.
10. Cut of office he promises
too much, and in office he performs
loo little.
II. He says that the s/nali
farmer and laborer of the city are
not to be mentioned in the same
breath with cowboys, etc. After
describing the drunkenness and
deadly shooting affrays of the cow
boys. he writes:
"But they are Much Better Fel
lows and Pleasanter Companion s
than the small farmers or agricul
tural laborers: or are the Mechan
ics of a Great City to be mention'd
in the same breath with them."
12. President Taft, who knov s
him best, says of him: "He is a
I demagogue, a neurotic, a flatterer,
‘ and egotist."
A Dozen Reasons Why 1 Shored
Vote for Next President Wil
son
Because:
1. He is the only candidate f ir
President who represents the rc 1.
the vital and the effective progres
sive forces in this country.
2. He stands for tariff revici n
| downward in the interest of lower
prices and the elimination of mo
nopoly.
3. He stands for trust legis! .
tion which will prevent the conti >!
of prices through any sort of m >
nopoiy.
4. He stands for the income
tax and believes that wealth shoo'd
share the the burdens as well as
the blessings of government.
5 He stands for the rights of
labor and the protection of the
man who earns his breed Dy t .*'•
sweat of his brow, as shown in his
record as Governor of New Jersey.
6. He stands for the revival of
our merchant marine, and for t‘ e
government encouragement of
agriculture, industrial and voca
tional education.
7. He trusts the people and be
lieves that the governed shou.d
govern: and that Senators should
be chosen by the people.
8. He faithfully preforms in of
fice the promises made out of office
9. He wdl "CLEAN HOUSE"
at Washington as he ‘CLEANED
HOUSE'' in New Jersey.
10. He preaches and practices
clean politics, and practices it t f
fect'vely. He unalterab’y opposes
machine politics and the rule of the
bosses.
11. He stands for legitimate
big busmess every day, but tor
monopoly never.
12. As Senator LaFollette
says. "He approaches every prob
lem with the solemn promises Lo
be really, in the highest sense, a
servant of the people."

October.
Ry George Fitch. Copyrighted by Geo.
Mathew Adams.
October is a serious, thoughful
month, which happens after Sep
tember and just before the coai 1
| question becomes intense. It is j
not naturally an exciting period.,
; but has been made so artificially in
America by the invention of foot
i ball, the open season for hunting.!
the world's championship baseball,
games and the closing of the polit- j
ical campaigns.
Because of these four things Oc- j
tober produces more cases of heart
failure, pocketbook failures, sore;
throat, broken'ribs and buckshot in j
the face than any other month, and ,
rivals July in the overworking of
physicians. »
In October vegetation closes up
the year's business and retires into
winter quarters. The fields be
come brown and the summer girl
Stakes off her $250 coat of tan with
lemon juice and writes for samples
| of the latest society pink. October
usually begins as coldly as an emo
tional actress before a small house,
but warms up by noon and be
comes rarely arid pensively beauti
ful until 5 p m.. when dusk begins
and the thermometer begins to
slide like the Brooklyn baseball
team in July. By 7 o'clock the
Amercan husband is usually in the
cellar chopping ud an old chair for
fuel. October is a ft hi mouth a':
far as heat goes, and has no vitaii
ty at all.
In October the leaves become
red and gold, and the sumach
flames on the hills. , while the corn
husker rolls out at 5 a. m. and
picks corn until his thumb throbs
like an overdue tooth. The blare
of the brass band and the hoar' e
shriek of the orator shake the land
at night, while the after.,o ns the
earnest fullback pulls his knee out
of his opponent s face and picks
the teeth out of it with a low shriek
of pain.
October is of no great use to hu- j
I manity. but helps to fill in the year,
and enables us to forget the ap
1 proach of winter by the use of its
! celebrated Indian summer, which
is a slight rally of the fast sinking
thermometer towards the close of
the month. Americans should
tr< it October with great respect
because it was this month that
Columbus first looked upon Ameri
ca and took back his glowing iv
ports to Spain. Think what he
might have said about it if he had
i found it January.
