SPECIAL INTERESTS VERSUS EQUAL RIGHTS.

In every utterance and every statement made so -far Mr. Taft ’ has shown great concern for the welfare of the TRUSTS and SPE- > CIAL INTERESTS. i He is afraid that the guaranty > of bank deposits will be a burden [ on a few big bankers. That thou- , sands of small depositors may lose > everything does not-worry him. ' He la afraid that a reduction of • the tariff may hurt protected in- ’ dustries. He does not worry for > the consumer, who bears the bur--1 den of the heavy tax. He is afraid to oppose the TRUSTS, for he considers them ' a benefit. He does not mind the extortion they practice upon the public. He is opposed to a Jury trial In contempt and Injunction cases because the SPECIAL INTERESTS want the unfair Injunction process continued. The “Father of the Injunction” does not worry becauae the laborer may not get a , square deal. The Republican candidate be- ; Hevea in an income tax only when ' the present oppressive means of ; taxation fail to furnish enough revenue. In other words, he be- ; lieves that the wealthy should not be taxed until the resources of the masses are exhausted. Not a word from Mr. Taft because the masses bear an unjust share of the burden of taxation. Mr. Taft stands for the favored FEW and SPECIAL INTERESTS. Mr. Bryan stands for the PEOPLE as opposed to the INTER- ; EBTB. Mr. Taft stands for PLUTOCRACY as opposed to DEMOC- : RACY. Mr. Bryan stands for EQUAL ' RIGHTS as opposed to SPECIAL PRIVILEGES. WITH WHICH DO YOU :STAND?
