Show Hi SHEEPMEN SHOULD BE FOE ROOSEVELT. Hl Those Republicans who think the maintaining of the tariff is H essentiaL to the prosperity of the country and who have been for Taft H would do well to ponder long and seriously over the present political H outlook. The day of election is only three weeks off and Taft is H hopelessly beaten. The Republican candidate cannot recover enough Hl ground in the few days remaining to come within 100 electoral votes Hl of success. Roosevelt is conceded even by the Democrats to be Wil- H son's dangerous rival. H With the choice between Wilson and Roosevelt, to whom should H the sheepmen, the sugar men and the lead miners of Utah and the H west throw their strength? Waste it on Taft or aid in electing H Roosevelt who believes in a reasonable tariff and a fair revision of HI tho tariff schedules? H9 There are Standpatters who devote all their time to shouting Hfl tariff, claiming they are for Taft because Taft is for high tariff. A 3 majority of them are siniply disguising their real motives. They ;ire M for Taft because they are too strongly partisan to bo freed from parly H prejudice, and the test of the truth of this statement is to be found, H now that Taft is out of the running and the one obstacle to Dcnu- II cratic free trade is Roosevelt, in the fact that those blind Sta-idpat- H ters continue to blindly throw their votes away when by supporting H Roosevelt they might do their part to have Taft succeeded by a pro- M tectionist. |
