Jasper County Democrat, Volume 11, Number 38, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 October 1908 — THEY WILL TRY TO BUY UP THE ELECTION AGAIN. [ARTICLE]

THEY WILL TRY TO BUY UP THE ELECTION AGAIN.

The republican party is going to buy the election if money will accomplish that result; 3500,000 has been raised in New York since last Friday according to the Chicago Inter-Ocean of yesterday, the leading republican paper of Chicago, for that purpose, and will be used in New York, Ohio and Indiana! And 3500,000 more is promised the last two weeks of. the campaign! Think of it! The same old slush fund that has purchased victory for the g. o. p. in every campaign since the Civil war! And who contributes it? The Wall street pirates, the railroads and tariff thieves who fatten off the common people. Is it to be wondered at that Theodore Roosevelt and W. H. Taft want to keep the names of these pirates, these railroad magnates, these tariff thieves from the voters until after the votes are cast November 3 ? They dare not publish them before. Once the people know who is financing the republican campaign,. Bryan's majority could not be count- l ed in a year! We do not believe 1 the Ajnerican people will stand for this • corruption, this purchasing the highest • office in the gift of any on the face of the earth. They, have the opportunity to utterly crush this band of freebooters, to annihilate these bandits, who under the guise of patriotism and saving the country have delivered it over to a gang of buccaneers who have looted every home in the land! If you have been inactive, get busy! If you have not taken any interest so far, isn’t it time you were? Get to work, and no amount of money can defeat a determined people—determined to have their own, to have their rights! Let the slogan be. “To Arms!”
