iaid In part:
"Capitalists are as willing to deal
with the democrats as with the repub

the former reactionary. And one
glance at tho honest 'progressives'
who are setting out to purify poll-
demonstrates that Roblnhood's
famous assemblange of outlaws had
nothing on tho gang rallying around
Roosevelt.
wiison'B election would perpet
uate the bosses' power and would In
augurate another 'era of prosperity
for men like Belmont and Ryan.
"It Is unnecessary to explain
where Taft stands. It Is natural for
a man of his typo to bo allied with
Root, Crane. Guggenheim and John
Hays Hammond.
"Being behind the times on most
questions the democratic party Is
especially ignorant on labor questions
as the laws of tho southern states
prove. We must either have a new
constitution or a bloody revolution.
Worklngmen build a few palaces and
many hovels with tho capitalists In
the palaces. They make a small
amount of fine cloths, but (millions
of yards of shoddy. They wear tho
shoddy. They must ruin their health
by overwork that a few people may
enjoy too much leisure."
