Tlio t emporary cha l rmau of the Demo­cratic S ta te convention said tha t the pro­tect ive tailff was Iniquitous. If It is (ulqul tous to p rese rve American pros­peri ty, If It Is Iniqui tous to protect t he wage ea rne r and t h e farmer, then t he tariff Is an Iniquity.

Since 1881) the average yearly exports of agr icul tural p roduc t s under Republi­can adminis t ra t ion have boon $724,000,-000, and under Democra t ic administra­tion $550,000,000, an average yearly ex-ess under I topublican administrat ion of $174,000.

Hill having picked ou t as a national candldato a j udgo who had always obeyed his orders now has chosen for the S ta te candldato ano the r j udgo who cannot do o ther than obey t h o same polit ician. Pa rke r and Herr i oil a re Hill men now and will be If elected. The only way to keep from electing David Jionuott Hill P r e s iden t and Governor Is to voto t he Republican t icket.

If he should by any HI ohii.noe bo olootod lie would bo dominated by this sumo coterie of peanut politicians and grafters, goaded by Hill, who Is too zealous of his position as Htttto leader to pe rmi t tho election of a Democrat ic Governor who would not be subserv ient to h i s ilomllsh purposes to blood t h e Htate.

Tom Taggar t stood liqhlnd his bar; Tlio tlino was fall, thoskies wore far; Tlio neighbors vqiind tho counter drawed And ca'mty drli||cod and Jawed.

At last coma. Colonol Blood of Pllco And oldi .lodgo Phllin, pormlsous-like, And. each, as ho meiuidorad In, Remarked, "A whisky skin,"

Tom mixed tho boverago full and far And slummed II, smoking, on Lho bar. Somo says three flngera, Homo says two— I'll leave tho choloo to you.

Phlun to tho drink put forth his hand; Blood drawed hla knife, with accent

" S T A Y THERE, ROOSEVELT." Those of us who have had the oppor­

tuni ty of meeting Theodore Roosevelt personal ly ; who have felt the grasp of t h a t warm, manly h a n d ; who have ma t t h e glance of those fearless eyes, know t h a t he Is a man, every inch of him. H e is not before the American people to-day as the nominee of any designing politician or set of politicians, but as a type of all t h a t is bes t In t he American manhood. True, he is the choice of t he Republican par ty In convention assembled, bu t h is formal nomination a t t he hands of h is par ty was a foregone conclusion, from the day on which he succeeded WilllB.m McKJnley, the chief to whom while liV' log, he was so loyal, and to whose mem ory and policies h e has been so stead' fa3tly t r u e .

Theodore Roosevelt has been nomi­na ted for election th i s ; fall by at least two- th i rds of tho American people. While a par ty luau in tho fullest sense, he can­no t bo led by his party to do aDytlilDg t h a t is not for the best Interests of t he country a t large. He Is the president of t h e whole American people, not of t h e Republican unguil ty of t h a t people alou".

Hook a t his clean, manly life. Look a t the way h e Is t ra in ing his boys. Not a s " s o n s of the p res iden t , ' - bu t as honest, manly, working American boys. T h e Roosevelt family Is typical of what t h e American family, t h e backbone of ou r nation, should be. I t Is to tho sons and d a u g h t e r s of families like that , we of to­day aro indebted for those United States of ours , and the civil and religious liber­ties we enjoy.

B u t " Roosevelt Is too s t renuous ," say our political opponents. We gladly ad­mit t h a t he Is s t renuous , but Hlrenuoue-ness is t h e essence, tho very mainspring of American progress and prosperity. If our heroes of 1776 had not been strenu­ous, wo would be British colonists to-day instead of freo-born or natural ized Amer­ican ci t izens. If t h e Americans of t h e north had not been s t renuous , slavery would bo still cursing our fair land and d ishonor ing our flag. If all Americans had no t been s t renuous , Cuba, Porto Rico and t h e Philippines would bo still s laves to Spanish greed and misrule. If tho pioneers of. our earlier days had not been s t renuous , tho Great West, t h a t empire between the Mississippi and the Pacific would not bo ours. If William H. Soward had not boon s t renuous , Alaska Would stll be a Busslan possession and a menace to ou r vas t in te res t s on the Pa­cific coast . If MeKIuley had not boon s t renuous , Hawaii , t he paradiso of t he Pacific, would still be misgoverned by Grover Cleveland's b rune t te friend.

Soo our t ranscont inental ra i l roads; our magnificent factories; our army, 7,000,-000 s t rong , of factory worke r s : our uiil'-IOUB of acres of grain waving lands ; our growing navy, already famous by t he prowess It exhibited a t Manila and San­tiago ; our brave, though far too small a rmy with i ts unbeaten record ; our fer­tility In Invent ion; see all these, and many o the r s tha t might bo named, then thank- God for tha t s l rouuousnoss of which Theodore Roosevelt Is a type. Americanism Is s t ronuousnoss , I t Is by toasou of t h i s quality tha t ten million voters will say on the eighth day of No­vember next , " S t a y there , Roosevell ."
