TtU Sfaiisl sOili^L 1 ^ OF itOOSEIRI William Jennings Bryan Analyzes Record of Third Term Candidate 1 KiS SUDDEN CONVERSION i No Message in Behalf cf People's Cause in Seven and a Half Years T. R. Was President. By WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN. Solomon says that the borrower is servant unto the lender. If this applies to one who borrows ideas Mr. Roosevelt does not recognize the obligation, for he has not only borrowed from the Democratic party as few public men have borrowed from an opposing party, trut he has shown himself strangely ungrateful for the Ideas taken. Of course it will not be contended that an idea can be patented. It is the " ' r 1 ' ? ? - ^ V. only thing, in tact, mat is not &uujcv,i, to monopoly. . Even Mr. Perkins, with all his fondness for the trust, would not contend that a monopoly in ideas could be formed and made subject to regulation by a bureau appointed by the president. Mr. Roosevelt, however, has won his popularity by the advocacy of things previously advocated by the Democrats, and still he is all the while assailing the Democrats bitterly and has shown toward them a hostility that is hard to expiate. To show the extent of his borrowing, let niev enumerate some of the things which he now advocates that were advocated by the Democrats at an earlier date. Shall the People Rule? Take his paramount issue of the present o.impaign?namely, the rule of the people. The platform adopted by i the Democratic national convention at Denver four years ago contained the following: " 'Shall the people rule?' is the overwhelming issue which manifests itself in all the questions now under discussion." Here is the very phrase which he employs, and it is not only declared to he an issue, but the Overwhelming issue. It was dwelt upon by the candidates; and by other speakers during the campaign, so that Mr. Roosevelt, then president, may be assumed to have had notice of it. He not only refused to admit then that it was the paramount issue, but he displayed extraordinary activity in urging upon the country Mr. T&ft, whom he has since declared to be the agent of bosses and the ene my or popular government. It would seem that he ought to make some slight acknowledgement of his indebtedness to the Democratic party for suggesting this issue to him. At least, he might put the issue in quotation marks. He is now advocating the direct election of senators, but if he ever expressed himself in favor of this reform earlier than two years ago the fact has escaped my observation, and I have not' Only watched carefully, but waited anxiously, for some favorable expression from him. Long Fight For Popular Election of Senators. The Democratic party began the fight for the popular election of senators twenty years ago this summer, when a Democratic house of representatives at .Washington passed for the f rst time a resolution submitting the 2 ecessary amendment. Since that time a similar resolution has been pass d by the house in five other congres: es?first, in 1894 by another Democratic house; then, after two congresses bad elapsed, by three Republican houses, and, last, by the present Democratic house. During the twenty years the reform has been indorsed in three Democratic platforms, the platforms of 1900, 1904 and 1908, and it has been indorsed by the legislatures of nearly two-thirds of the states. Mr. Roosevelt must have known of the effort which was being made by the people to secure the popular election of senators, and yet he took no part in the fight. During this time he was president for seven and one-liaif years, and it is quite certain that a ringing message from him would have brought victory to the people's cause, but no message came. . Four years ago the convention which he controlled and which nominated Mr. Taft rejected, by a vote of seven to one, a resolution Indorsing this reform. Still Mr. Roosevelt did not say anything. He neither rebuked the Republican convention nor indorsed the strong plank which was included in the Denver platform. Even Mr. Taft went so far during the campaign of 1908 as to say that PERSONALLY he was INCLINED to favor the popular lection of senators by the people, but v* U Jl J ? ^ Jl rar. noowveii am aui ervu uiumnia an Intention In that direction. Now, when the reform is practically secured?the amendment being before the states for ratification?he declares himself in favor of it Would it not be fair for him to indicate in some way his appreciation of the long continued fight waged by the Democrats in behalf of this reform before he espoused it? T. R. and the Income Tax. Mr. Roosevelt is in favor of an income tax. How long since? His first inidorsement of it was during his second term, and then it was suggested as a means of limiting swollen fortunes and not as a means of raising ii revenue. The Democratic party In rtlnded ?n incom ? fax pro*. ? ;er v- fhWilson law of 1 sf-; i. WN ihis pro* , vision was d'< d unconsritr.; ioimi bv the suprem '.err: by a majority of one the Der*iee*\.ile party renewed i the fight and has ccuundcd for the income lax in three national campaigns. In If)OS the Democratic platform demanded the submission of an amendment specifically authorising an income tax?the very amendment now before the states for ratification. ; Mr. Roosevelt's candidate. Mr. Taft. i declared during the campaign that an | amendment was r.ct necessary, and Mr. Roosevelt neve" made any argument in favor of the amendment or in favor cf the principle embodied in it. ; The amendment has now been ratified j x? ' I..,, fr,y oc I I dv tnirty-icur vul, .tj - i know. Mr. Roosevelt has never made J a speech in favor cf its ratification i nor, since the submission of the amendment, made a speech urging an income tax as a part of our fiscal system. It would not require any great stretch of generosity on his part to credit the Democratic party with priority in the advocacy of this reform. Not Always For Railroad Regulation. Mr. Roosevelt is now an advocate of railroad regulation. When did he commence? The Democratic party in its platforms of 1S96, 1900 and 1904 demanded an extension of the powers of the interstate commerce commission. Up to 1904 Mr. Roosevelt never discussed the subject of railroad regulation officially or in public speech, so far as I have been able to find. Although nominated without opposition in the convention of 1904, his platform contained no promise of railroad regulation. By its attitude on the railroad question the Democratic party alienated the support of those railway officials who counted themselves Democrats, and Mr. Roosevelt, both in 1900, when he was a candidate for vice-president, and in 1004, when he was a candidate fbf president, had the benefit cf the support of those ex-Democrats. It was in 1904 that he wrote his famous letter to Mr. Harrlman and in the state of Xew York profited by the campaign fund that Mr. Harriman. raised. When after 1904 Mr. Roosevelt took up the subject of railroad regulation he found more hearty support among the Democrats in the senate and house than among the Republicans, so that he has reason to know that the Democratic party has for a long time planted itself boldly upon the people's side on the subject of railroad regulation. Under the circumstances we might expect some complimentary reference to our party's attitude instead of anathemas. T. R.'s Complete Somersault. On the subject of publicity as to campaign contributions he has not only adopted the Democratic position, but he has been compelled to turn a complete somersault in order to do^so. In 1908 the Democratic platform demanded the publication before election of the names of ^individual contributors and the amounts contributed. Mr. Roosevelt at that time indorsed Mr. Taft's contention that the publication should be deferred until after the election, and even went so far as to give reasons for believing that it would be Improper to make the publication before the election. Two years later he declared in favor of publicity before and after the election, landing on the Democratic side shortly before the law was enacted carrying out the Democratic platform on this subject. Here, surely, he ought to praise the Democratic party for the pioneer work it has done in purifying politics. Here are a few of the things which bear the Democratic brand, and with all of his experience on the plains he will not be able to "work the brand over" so as to make it look like "T. R." REPUBLICAN HOPE RESTSJN WILSON Gov. Burke Declares for Democrat and Gives His Reasons. By JOHN BURKE, Governor of North Dakota. The election of Governor Wilson is the only thing' that can save the Republican party. Four years of President Taft has split it in two. We have no reason to believe that he will be any different or that his second administration, if he is re-elected, will be any more satisfactory to the peopie than his first His re-election will mean the division of the Republican party into many warring factions, which can only result in final dissolution of-all. The end will come quicker and Just as certain if Roosevelt is elected, for he is no longer a Republican, but is the leader of*a new party, at war with the Republican party, as it is with the Democratic party. On the other hand, If Wilson is elected the Roosevelt party will perish; the Republicans, will reorganize their party,' purge it of the baneful influence of corporate power and greed and make it again the grand old party it was in the days of Lincoln.
