THE DEMOORATIO TARTY
OFFERS THE ONLY SINCERE
REFORM PLEDGE
(Continued from Pago 7.
you ought not to go from Mr. Taft
to Mr. Roosevelt, but if you are
ready to leave tho republican party,
as you ought all to be, why you
should come to tho democratic party
and help to make the victory of Wil
son and Marshall unanimous.
My friends, my first reason why
you should not vote for Mr. Roose
velt as a substitute for Mr. Taft is
that Mr. Roosevelt gave us Mr. Taft.
Wo would not have had a Taft if we
hadn't had a Roosevelt. He picked
out his own successor; he found him
all alone; he discovered him by him
self, and then he patented him, that
there might not he an infringement,
on his rights; and then he guaran
teed him, so that there might ho no
question about him; then he nomi
nated him; then he elected him, and
then he went off and left him.
If I were Mr, Taft I would sue
Mr. Roosevelt for breach of promisp.
Ho wooed 'him. from obscurity, led
him out into the limelight and then
cruelly deserted him. I think that
the people of this country have an
action in damages against Mr. Roose
velt for obtaining the White House
for another under false pretenses.
He told us that he knew this man; he
said that he had an interest in him;
that he was city broke, that he was
halter wise, and that he could lead
him anywhere, and then he led him
into the White House and turned the
halter over to Wall street and went
to South Africa to shoot rhinoceroses
and hippopotamuses.
And from the time that Mr. Taft
took the oath of office Mr. Roosevelt
has never tried to help him make
good. T think that when he guaran
teed him to the American people he
took upon himself a solemn obliga
tion to help him rpalize the exDCC
tations that had been around. This
Is the only time in history where a
guarantor ever asked to be rewarded
for the failure of his principal. It
now seems as if we misunderstood
him. It now looks as if what he
intended to say was this: "Here is
the man, I commend him to you;
he is the best prepared man who ever
ran for president; take him on my
word, and if he doesn't measure up
to my recommendation, then come
to me and I will take his place and
be president the rest of my life."
My first objection, therefore, is
that Mr. RooBevelt offers himself as a
substitute for this man who has
failed to live up to his recommenda
tion. But my second objection is
even a graver one. It is this: That
where he Is a reformer he has not
only come in late, but he doesn't
show the Bpirit of a reformer.
I have been told that over in
France you sometimes find at the
stores three kinds of eggs, fresh eggs,
good eggs and eggs. We liave the
samp, kind in this country, but they
are not marked, and we sometimes
don't know which we have until we
get them home, but I have known
conscientious and honest men to write
the date of the laying of the eggs on
the egg in order that the purchaser
might ltnow Iiqw freBh it was.
If Mr. Roosevelt would write upon
his national reforms the date when
he began to advocate them and then
let me write the date when the demo
cratic party began to advocate them,
you would see tho gap between his
advocacy and our party's advocacy.
But, as Jhe doesn't do it, I will do
it. As he- doesn't mark his eggs, I
will mark them, for I havo had
nothing to do for sixteen years ex
cept to watch the republicans and
keep books on them.
Let me take up some of these re
forms. Take the election of senators
by tho people. I regard that as th,e
greatest national reform of a hun
drecT yelfsr Four years ago wde-
clared it to be the gateway to other!
reforms, and. I believe it is-
Wo havo been fighting for it for
just twenty years. It is twenty years
ago this summer that a democratic
congress passed a resolution submit
ting the amendment. That was tho
first time that resolution was ever
passed. That was twenty years ago.
When did Mr. Roosevelt commence
to advocate this reform? Two years
ago. Where was he all that time?
He waited until after we had put it
in three national platforms; he
waited until it had passed the house
of representatives at Washington five
times; he waited until two-thirds of
the states of the nation had indorsed
it in their legislatures. He was presi
dent for seven and a half years, and
there wasn't a year when he could
not have led the people to victory
on this reform; but he waited, while
the convention at Chicago four years
ago turned it down by a vote of seven
to one.
Still he didn't say anything.
Why, my friends, Oven Mr. Taft,
with all his corporation connections,
came out two years before Mr. Roose
velt did, in favor of the election of
senators by the direct vote of the
people. It was a very feeble come
out. It was two years before Mr.
Roosevelt came out; a feeble come
out, but it was better than no come
out at all. Mr. Roosevelt was In
Washington; he knew what that
senate was. He knew that from his
own state there was Chauncey De
pew, who represented th,e New York
Central Railroad company and got
$50,000 a year from it, and $5,000
a year from the government as a
senator, and the Central came nearer
getting the worth of its money from
him than did the government and
there was Tom Piatt, representing
the express companies; and there
was Matt Quay, who was owned by
the Pennsylvania railroad and lent
to the Standard Oil when the rail
road company didn't need him; and
there wore others there of tho same
kind; there wasn't one of them that
Mr. Roosevelt didn't know intimate
ly; and yet all that time he never
declared himself until the victory
was practically won. That is his
record on that subject.
Where has he been while we have
been fighting for an income tax? It
is now eighteen years since the demo
cratic party began this fight. It is
almost finished. Thirty-four states
have now ratified the amendment to
the constitution that authorizes an
income tax. ' Where has Mr. Roose
velt been? He has never gone into
a single state to ask that state to
ratify this income tax amendment.
He has never made a speech in favor
of the income tax as a permanent
part of the fiscal system. He has
said, on one or two occasions, that it
might bo well to have an income tax
to curb swollen fortunes. My
friends, the way to curb swollen for
tunes is to prevent them, and the way
to prevent them is ta take away the
privilege and favoritism that enable
these men to gather where they do
not sow. Mr. Roosevelt would not
take the privilege from them, but
speaks of an income tax to curb the
swollen fortunes. We want an in
come tax that we may lift the burden
from the backs of the struggling
poor, and make these men bear their
hare of this nation's burdens. Where
una rar. jttooaeveiT. oeen wmie we
have mado this fight?
My friends, why hasn't he helped
us in the purifying of our politics.
I told you that four years ago Mr.
Taft said that we ought not to know
until alter an election where the
money came from. Four years ago
ir. ftuoaeveii sam ino very same
thing, and gave his reason for not
-wanting the people to know. He was
afraid they would not make proper
use of the information, if they found
out the source of the campaign fund.
