Says President Taft:
“The Republican party of
fers the nation sanity and
safety against dreaming and
theorizing. It cites a long
and honorable record of sub
stantial and lasting good
achieved. It stands for gen
uine progress and prosperity
—of promises made and
faithfully performed. It
stands for the constitution
and the law; for the integrity
of the courts. It offers the
best there is in the tried and
approved idea of protection
to American workingmen
against the pauper labor of
the Old World. It stands
today the bulwark of the na
tion—for the national honor
—even as it stood in the
days of Democratic clamor
for free silver and later for
the government guarantee of
bank deposits. The Republi
can party has not always
been the party popular with
the mob and the irresponsi
ble, but it ever has been true
to the trust reposed in it.
The people should sustain the
Republican party against the
assaults being made upon it
—it is better to be safe than •
sorry.”

ADMIT DEMOCRAT
IS LEADING FIELD
CHICAGO, Nov. 4.—That word has
been sent to several Western states by
the Taft managers asking their follow
ers to throw their strength to Roose
velt in order to force the' election of a
president into the house of representa
tives, was a report which was circu
lated In political circles here today. Ac
cording to the report, the Taft people,
believing that Wilson was running
ahead of the field, planned to secure
enough electoral votes for Roosevelt to
cause a deadlock in the electoral col
lege. It is reported that Taft managers
in California and South Daktota are
said to have received these Instructions.
It is said that the suggestion has
been made in some other states. The
Taft managers, it is said, believe that
without the eighteen votes from Cali
fornia and South Daktota, Wilson could
not have a majority in the electoral
college.
The Taft leaders here denied the ru
mors, but it was widely circulated at
other political headquarters.

Says Gov. Wilson:
“Tlie Democratic party is
the only party of the people.
Both the Republican parties
—the regular and the pro
gressive—advocate the theory
of protection carried to the
evil of fostered monopoly
and trust domination, jug
gling of words by either will
not change the everlasting
truth. The people have grown
tired of Republican misrule
—a misrule that has gone so
far that the leaders thereof
are hopelessly at war with
themselves. The Democracy
stands for a revenue tariff—
and when such a tariff is en
acted, the problem of living
comfortably within one's in
come will have been solved.
The Democracy stands for an
honest judiciary; and it
stands, as it ever has stood,
the one hope and salvation
of labor. It would accord
capital its just deserts—no
more, no less. It is not the
party of innovations—it is
the party of real progress.
The people will return it to
power, because the people
have realized that it stands
for human right and liber
ties.”

Says Col. Roosevelt:
“The Progressive party
stands pre-eminently for the
rule of the people as opposed
to the rule of the bosses. We
alone propose a definite pro- I
gram for the control and reg
ulation of the trusts, through
a rationally revised tariff—-a
tariff that shall retain all the
blessings of protection and
eradicate all its evils. We j
want to take the government I
away from Big Business and
give it back to the plain peo
ple—and through honest tar
iff' reform that may be ac
complished. We stand un
compromisingly for the rights
of labor—for an eight-hour
dav, and children of tender
years kept out of the work
shops. We put the man high
er than we do the dollar. We
offer definite things, while
our opponents are talking
generalities. The Progres
sives appeal to all good citi
zens. We raise no question
of religion, birthplace, or
former party allegiance. We
are fighting for the common
good of our coinmon.eountry.
We are for a square deal all
the way around.”
