WHAT REPUBLICAN PROSPERITY IS.

What has the result been? Prosperity? Yes; if by prosperity you rrtean vast wealth, no matter how distributed or whether distributed at all or not; if you mean vast ente«g>rises built up to be presently concentrated under the control of comparatively small bodies of men, who can determine almost at pleasure whether there shall be competition or not. The nation as a nation has grown immensely rich. - She is justly proud of her industries and of the genius of her men of affairs. They can master anything they set their mfnd to, and we have been greatly stimulated under their leadership and command. Their laurels are many and very green. We must accord them the great honors that are their due, and we must preserve what they have built up for us. But what of the other side of the picture? it is not easy for us to live as it used to be. Our money will not buy as much. High wages, even when we can get them, yield us no great comfort. We used » be better off with less, because a dollar could buy so much more. The majority of us have been disturbed to find ourselves growing poorer, even though our earnings were slowly increasing. Prices climb faster than we can push our earnings up.— From Woodrow Wilson's speech accepting the Democratic nomination.

LABOR AND THE RULE OF RIGHT.

The working people of America—if they must be distinguished from the minority that constitutes the rest of it — are, of bourse, the backbone of the nation. No law that safeguards their life, that improves the physical and moral conditions under which they live, that makes their hours of labor rational and tolerable, that gives them freedom to act in their own interest and that protects them where they cannot protect themselves, can properly be regarded as class legislation or as anything but as a measure taken in the interest of the whole people; whose partnership in right action we are trying to establish and make real and practical. It is in this spirit that we shall act if we are genuine spokesmerKof the , whole country.—From Woodrow Wilson’s speech accepting the Democratic nomination.

He Won’t Limp Now.

WILSON STANDS ON HIS RECORD

Josephus Daniels of Democratic National Committee Wants Voters to Make an Investigation. WILL WIN LEGION OF FRIENDS Slander Is Not to Play a Part in Democratic Campaign, Declares Publicity Chairman. Ne%’ York, Aug 8. —Josephus Daniels, chairman of the publicity committee- of the .Democratic national committee, said today: “Eight years ago during the presidential campaign of 1904 I came to New York and, being a member of the Democratic national committee, I dropped in at the headquarters of the committee. I found the literary bureau of the committee very actively engaged in perusing the volumes of Theodore Roosevelt. When I saw on every desk ‘The Winning of the West,' The Life of Thomas H. Benton' and a half dozen others of the works of the then Republican nominee for president, I wondered whether or not I bad gotten into the right place. "I was immediately set aright, however, when I was informed that the literary young men were engaged in culling from tho.se books some of the many denunciations and bitter criticisms and attacks made by Theodore Roosevelt upon public men and measures, and his aspersions upon great representative bodies of, our people, such as workingmen and farmers. “I found them preparing to send forth broadcast all over the land such excerpts from the writings of Theodore Roosevelt as: “ ’Cowboys are much better fellows and pleasanter companions than small farmers or agricultural laborers; nor are the mechanics and workmen of a great city to be mentioned in the same breath.’ “ 'Mr. Bryan and his adherents have appealed to the basest set in the land —the farmers.’ “ ‘They ( workingmen who object to government by injunction) are not in sympathy with men of good minds and sound civic morality.' • “They quoted from what he said about the Quakers, that those who would not fight were traitors to their country. , “They said that when the farmers and workmen and the Quakers came to know what Theodore Roosevelt had written about them they would rise up with wrath and indignation and bury Theodore Roosevelt beneath an avalanche of votes. They said that Roosevelt would not answer that ex posure of his views, and, of course, he never did. I agreed with them that it was the proper thing to do to herald these.utterances through the country. “As to whether or not that sort of campaigning had any effect, the result Of the campaign eight years ago speaks for Itself. “The Republican party is attempting to do today the same sort of thing that the Democrats tried in 1908. The Democrats out-Rodenberged Mr. Rodenberg. They were eight years ahead of him in this sort of thing. It didn't work with us then and it will not work with them now. Stands on Record. “The attempt to attack Gov. Wilson because of certain statements which he made in writing history and in commenting upon events of history as they appeared to him as historian, will fail signally. As one great metropolitan newspaper pointed out, Mr. Rodenberg and his kind are simply •Blowing against the wind.’ Governor Wilson is running for president on his record as a public man, and with that record the public is fairly well conversant, and it will continue to learn more as the campaign progresses. “He is running for president on his record as governor of New Jersey, what he said and did in that capacity, rather than what he wrote as a historian. i chronicling events and commenting upon them as they appeared to an impartial observer whose duty it is to write of things as they are rather than as they should be or as he would have them. , * “Our Republican brethren are entitled to all the thunder they can make out of Governor Wilson’s writings. I hope they will read them carefully and thoroughly. They will be able to gain a great deal of valuable information and when the context is read along with the excerpts which have been taken from his works for the purpose of placing him in a false light, I have ho fear as to the results. All that is needed is a thorough understanding. - - “Ingersoll sought to disprove Bible truths and to assail Holy Writ by the same methods which the Republicans are seeking to assail Gov. Wilson.”

SENATOR GORE OF OKLAHOMA:

"The closing sentence of his speech will become the battle hymn of Democracy in the pending campaign: ‘I thank God and take courage.’ It is at once a paean of praise and is a summon to patriotic duty.”

TARIFF HAS NOT - HELPED FARMERS

Senator Gardner Gives Reason for Supporting Wilson. NOW IS TIME FOR REWARD Too Long Have They Been Fooled by False Gods—Rallying to Democracy's Banners. The reasons why those engaged in agricultural pursuits should support Governor Woodrow Wilson for president are strongly set forth by Senator Obadiah Gardner of Maine in an address to farmers. .Senator Gardner is a practical farmer, one who farms his own farm, and he is probably in closer touch and sympathy with countiy life and its environments than any other man in public life. For twenty-five years Senator Gardner has been actively engaged in the National Grange and for ten years lie was the master of the State Grange of Maine. A few years ago he came within a close margin of being elected governor of the Pine Tree, State. A little less than a year ago, when Senator Frye, who had represented Maine in the senate for thirty years, died. Governor PlaiS*ed honored Mr. Gardner, and recognized the agricultural Interests of the country by appointing him to the United States senate, where he has made a most creditable record, devoting particular attention to the .welfare of the great rural population of the country. He is now a candidate for re-election and will undoubtedly be successful. In his address, Senator Gardner says: To the Termers of the United States. Greeting: Being one of you and for the greater or ray life having been engaged in tho practical every-day duties of my having been for 25 years past officially at \vork through boards of agriculture and the National and State Granges; having served four years as second officer *f the National Grange and as master of the Maine Sttate Grange ten years, during which time the order in Maine added 35,545 members and attained a r.uwer and influence never held before. I reel I am in a position to speak from the. standpoint of one who knows the farmer and his needs, and it is solely because of this that I am prompted to address you. F"r years farmers have justly complained of being required to pull at the sliort end of the yoke because of unfair and unjust discriminations in legislation and transportation, and at the present time the farmers are charged with being the cause of the high cost of living, when, as- a matter of fact, taken collectively—the amount Invested in, their business, the hours devoted to hard labor, and everything conneeted with the details of agricul.tu.ral life—they are. as a whole, the poorest paid class of people in this country. while relatively the. most important. Farmers Have Been Deceived. During all recent years farmers have been told what a great blessing has been theirs through the so-called protective tariff, and yet to find a market for their principal crops they have had to compete in the markets of the world where the price Is fixed. But suddenly it is discovered that the farmer is the sole cause for the high cost of living, and what happens? The president (Mr. Taft) with a total disregard for the interests of the farmers, submits a plap to open up to competition with the farmers of the United States the products of Canada while being careful to preserve! the tariff, op more correctly speaking, the tax, on all the farmer has to buy, which, as clearly as anything can, exposes the hypocrisy and "humbuggery" of the claim that the tariff is a benefit ,to agricultural as compared with manu#actured products. Now, the farmers of this country have an opportunity to benefit themselves that has never appeared within my recollection, as the Democratic partv has been compelled by the force of public opinion to nominate a man for (he presidency who is best equipped for thpt high office of any that have been nominated or elected since Lincoln. A man that I speak of from a personal acquaintance with and a knowledge of his fitness; a man of great natural ability, splendidly educated, not theoretically but practically, a keenness of intellect remarkable for its grasp of every condition with which he is confronted; an indomitable courage to do right; and above all a great broad tendency with and sympathy for all classes. He wifi make one of the most accessible presidents ever In the "White House, and through whom none will be refused a hearing, however humble, nor fail to receive justice at his hands. He is truly a marvelous man and X wish every person in the United States could know him as I know him, and supplementing all thesa qualities is the additional one that his home is one of perfect balance. None can meet the splendid Mrs, Wilson and her three refined, cultured daughters with their perfect naturalness, hut must foel that the whole family of Woodrow Wilson was especially prepared to fill a great need in the present crisis In the history of our country, as were .Washington, Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln, and I would ajJVlse the farmers upon my reputation as a man, if you want to protect your own interests and those of yonr families; Jf you want to render the greatest possible good to your country and future generations; if you want to contribute your part to the end that popular government under God shall not perish from the earth, then spy that the Hon. Woodrow Wilson Is elected president. O. GARDNER.

THE PEOPLE AND THE; CURRENCV.

In dealing with the (Complicated and difficult question of the reform of our banking and currency laws it is plain that we ought to consult very many persons besides the bankers, not because we distrust the bankers, but because they do not necessarily comprehend the business of the country, Notwithstanding they are indispensable servants of it and may do a vast deal to make it hard or easy. No mere bankers’ plan will meet the requirements, ne matter how honestly conceived. It shopld be a merchants’ and farmers’ plan as well, elastic in the hands of those who use it as an indispensable part of their daily business. —From Woodrow Wilson’s speech accepting the Democratic nomination.
