Show II, "STAND BY THE The fact has been clearly established that the Re- f I t TRUSTS." publican party is running nway from the people'a f policies. This is shown to nsomo extent by the f nomination of Mr. James S. Sherman us the running mate of Mr. Taft. f Mr. Sherman is Interested in dozens of trusts and has been a collector of t campaign 'funds for the llcnublieati party for many years. This only r goes to show that the Republican party intends to "stand by the trusts" hhd that If they are etiotxiwful, the tariff will be adjusted In the interest Of the trusts instead df ii tho Interest of the people: Tim treasurer of the p" Republican national committee has (lUCOeuded tit evading the law against corporation contributions to campaign expensed. He lias discovered that j, whilo the corporations cannot contribute to tho Republican campaign t fund, there is nothing to prevent the secretary or any of the members of h the board of directors of thesu great concerns from contributing. As f there is absolutely no enthusiasm In tho Republican campaign whatever this year, the Republicans artf proceeding to uqueete all the money they can out of corporations, such as tho btef trust, tho ittcol trust, the har-:. har-:. vester trust, the oil trust and so on, so they are depending on the power r of a big corporation fund to carry the election agaiust Mr. Bryan. But I the people are not likely to bo bought up this time us many were in the L days of Mark Hauna. It Is Raid that the farmers of tho country are r sending money orders to Mr. Biyan by the mail bag full and that every P day ha gets from ono to two bags of mall from farmers, ranging from ono to two dollars apiece. This is n mighty good plan and every Democrat Dem-ocrat In tho country should fcend at least ono dollar to Mr. Bryan, at Lincoln, Nebraska, and more If ho can. |
