Show H STAND BY THE REFORMERS. M That the "big guns" of the cast, the "bust- 9H ncss men" and corporation "financiers," arc 99 neither republicans, democrats, populists or 9H socialists from a matter of principle lias been 9H demonstrated so frequently and satisfactorily 9H that it Is nojongcr denied. These men are In- 9H tcrestcd In politics only so far as their Individ- 9H ual financial interests arc concerned and their 9H money and Influence Is used for the election of 9H such men as will servo their interests best. In 9H the past few years these great men of the 99 nation, these "llnanclers,'1 have engaged In a 91 systematic, well-organized effort to debauch 9H the public mind, subvert the will of the people 9H and control the government of states and the 9H nation to their sole advantage, and how well 9H they have succeeded thus far is only too clearly PH demonstrated In the exposures resulting from PH. an earnest and fearless president's attitude 9H toward corporate Interests. 9H Rut while President Roosevelt has Jarred 91 tho nerves of these brigands, these vampires of 91 our social, business and political life, they are 91. keeping up tho flght along the old lines and PB will continue to triumph unless the public P mind Is quickened to perceive their cunning P and craftiness. The public must learn to per- PB ceivo that the extensive articles laudatory of PJVJ Standard oil and its methods arc but advertise- PH ments paid for by the class of men referred to PBj above. Pfl The public must understand that an ex- PJVJ traordlnary proportion of the urtlclcs anathe- PJVJ matizlng President Roosevelt rind their way PJVj into publications throughout this country only P by the Illegitimate uso of money. PJVJ They must understand that publications PH have been founded by this public carrion for PJVJ ' the sole purpose of adroitly converting the pub- PB Ho mind to a dislike of aggressiveness on the PJVJ part of any public official. They employ facile PJVJ writers to Instill fear into the public mind PJVJ fear of panlo and business depression as a result PJ9 of aggression on tho part of men sworn to pro- PJ9 tcct the people's Interests PJ9 The public must learn that in the case of PJVJ the Aldrict) bill, for Instance, these renegades PJVJ of the nation are paying great sums of money PJVJ for tlio publication of favorable expressions PJ9 from men of prominence, expressions adroitly PJfl secured and sent, broadcast. PJVJ The public must learn to distinguish be- PJVJ tween that which rings true and that which PJVJ rings false. Tho nubile must learn that the PJB exposure of crime and jugglery, and chicanery PJVJ In the business and political world never PJVJ Brought harm to any nation; it Is the crime PJVJ not tho exposure that creates the havoc. Tho PJVJ public should stand tlrm In its confidence In PJVJ President Roosevelt and the policies advocated PJVJ by such men as Hughes and Taft. The presl- PVJ dent Is being caluminated viciously by publlca- PJVJ tlons that fly no names at their mast and by PJ9 correspondents who do not sign their articles. PJVJ lie Is also assailed In advertisements paid for by PJVJ corporations exposed by him, and these adver- PH tUements arc made to appear as legitimate PJVJ i cus matter. The publio ahould be discerning PJVJ and stand by the reformers. |
