For Commissioner of TWrdrictDsEx TEREIBLE TEDDY Off STBKSS Soon after the fierce labor strikes of 1894 were crushed by military forces Theodore Eoosevelt and Colonel Tur ner were speakers at a mass meeting held at the Auditorium During his speech which was pug nacious from beginning to end Eoose velt is credited with uttering these cruel words Jiny man who engages in a strike or any man who goes where a strike is on should be shot Colonel Turner of the First regiment who is now a fierce champion of Gov enor Eoosevelt gave utterance to these words in the course of his address tBullets are Gods messengers of - peace f When Theodore Eoosevelt uttered the words quoted above he smote the heart of every workingman in Chicago and in the country It was no wonder then that when he appeared before the multitude at Elec tric Park on Labor day that he was hissed and the clenched fists and deter mined faces appeaared on either side of his carriage A man who toils for his living and that of his family is quite apt to re member an insult such as Theodore Eoosevelt uttered from the stage of the Auditorium It is not wiped out in a moment nor in the lapse of years It is now sis years since Eoosevelt stabbed the breast ot workingmen with his cruel invectives But the thousands of toilers who marched through the streets of Chicago yesterday had not forgotten his unpro voked assault at the Auditorium That is why the republican candidate for vice president was the figure a round which a whirlwind of indigna tion swept in Electric park The speech which may prove the undoing of the republican national ticket was delivered soon after the sanguinary riot in the Stock Yards merely one of a score of armed con fiicts of the great railroad strike of 1894 It will be remembered how Eugene Y Debs and his associates of the A E U were arrested for conspiracy and sentenced to imprisonment in the Woodstock jail Debs served out his sentence and when he returned to Chicago he was greeted at the North western railway station by a tremen drous cro rd of workingmen It was a rainy and chilly night but the enthu siastic followers and admirers of the advocate could not be driven to cover With a band of musicians at their head the people tramped by thou sands to the old armory on the Lake Front where Mr Debs was to speak The building was so densely packed that it rfould cot haVfe held anbther fn In the course of his speech which was of great length and of comfort to workingmen Mr Debs took occasion v- SSSJ8WJi of and groaned at the mention the name of the man who is now seeking to be elected vice president of the Uni ted States Theodore Debs secretary of the So cial Democracy party and brother of the famous labor leader said today that he remembered the cruel utter ance made by Roosevelt and the pro found and bitter impression it had up on the working masses George Schilling recalled the assault at the Auditorium but he could not re member the exact date it was made Chicago American DTTELLEOTCTAL LAOXEYS In ante bellum days in Dixie an aris tocracy existed among the black slayes based upon the wealth and social stand ing of their owners The slaves of rich men or of men prominent in the af fairs of state or nation felt themselves above the slaves of the ordinary man and with a feeling of pride made it known that they were owned by Massa Washington Massa Randolph or Mas sa Davis Pitiable indeed as was the sight of the poor African slaves claiming super iority over their fellows because it fell to their lot to be the chattels and servants of distinguished masters yet there Avas something in the more refin ed atmosphere that surrounded such slaves that in comparison with the coarser surroundings of the average slave might suggest divine favor The knowledge of conditions more intolera ble than his own made his own con dition more bearable and stimulated his appreciation to the border of self-respect To the poor helpless black slave Whose intellect had scarcely em erged from primeval night such an aristocracy may have been a legitimate one At most it could only evoke in the superior race a feeling of pity But we have another slave more ab jec t than the poor black man whose posing is on a plane utterly devoid of the redeeming features of the poor African chattel We refer to the free born white man of America who fawns at the feet of wealth and fashion cringing in the most slavish manner subordinating his manhood intellest and conscience to gain the favors of the rich and powerful lie is a degenerate who has descended to an unfathomable and unpardonable degree of degrada tion and is so lost to decency that he may be seen in the market place or in the public square advertising his de pravity by offering criticism of intel lectual noble brave Americans who t take the side of the masses who labor and toil against the invasion of their rights by the rich who seek to make the government a partner in their en terprises to exploit their fellows The latter slave may be covered with white skin but in the sight of heaven he is a hideous malformation He is an intel lectual lacky so utterly destitute of the essentials of a man that be may be seen strutting about with the airs of a pea cock utterly oblivious of hi3 spiritual and moral depravity The intellectual lackey with a dwarfed soul is natures greatest de formity While the black slave claiming aristocracy because of the rank of his master is an object of pity he is not an object of abhorrence as is the soulless white man who was born free but whose development stopped at a point which fitted him to become a tool whose measure of worldly comfort and delight is filled by receiving smiles and crumbs from the rich Life would be intolerable to the crea ture we have described if he possessed sufficient soul to realize the withering contempt in which he is held by all in telligent men including those who flatter him National Watchman Imperialism would be profitable to the army contractors it would be prof itable to the ship owners who would carry live soldiers to the Philipines and bring dead soldiers back it would be profitable to those who would seize up on the franchises and it would be prof itable to the officials whose salaries would be fixed here and paid over there but to the farmer to the labor ing man and to the vast majority of those engaged in other occupations it would bring expenditure without le turn and risk without reward W J Bryan An Omaha little girl says an ex change added this to her prayer And please 0

VfMrt Tjyg T X mk -- - Thomas W Jones a private in troop G Eleventh cavalry writing from San ta Cruz Philippine Islands tells how sixty members of his regiment were ordered out to kill or capture a famous Filipino general known to be living hi the neighborhood The generals house was located and the Americans crawled through the un ierbrush until they secured positions but a few distant Then they discovered that they had unwittingly chanced up on a wedding There was a large crowd present to take part in the fes tivities Most of them of course were women and children bnt there were about seventy five men present who were armed The J mericaus were or dered to fire a volley from ambush and ihen charge which they did with ter rible results The scene that resulted was horri ble writes Private Jones On the ground near the house lay the body of the bride whose brains had been blown out The groom who had re ceived a bullet in the stomach was ly ing near by dying Twelve of the Fil ipinos had been killed and about the same number wounded An elderly woman was shot through the leg and a little child had her arm shot off got the old general all right and we burned the insurgents quarters before wo left ends the let ter Washington correspondent Chica go Chronicle Father read the following weigh it on the scales of conscience and ask -41 yourself if you want your son to help dispense the blessings of benevolent assimilation to the Filipino as is be ing doue under the orders of the pres ent administration Of the 100000 troops which have been sent here to civilize the natives 60000 have gone through the hospit als Of these 60000 boys 10000 have been stricken with infamous dis eases Moreover this diseased host of 10000 soldiers does not include thousands of others who took private treatment of local physicians The above is taken from the New Voice and was written by their repre sentative in Manila who received his information from a head surgeon whese name is kept secret for fear of mili tary vengence Again he says Far more of our boys who are lying there referring to the national cemetery at Malate met their death through bad women and drink than through the bullets of the Filipinos Five hundred American soldiers were recently exhumed from this field and sent to the states mostly victims of diink and lust This is imperialism but the Eepub lican party calls it expansion and pro gress to blind the voters of the United States until the hangers on of the ad ministration who are on the inside have gorged themselves like the vul tures that they are with the proceeds of fat army contracts What do they care how many men are ruined so long as they make their millions which they spend in Europe and on which they do not even pay taxes Voter you have power to foil these monsters Your power is the ballot Cast it for W J Bryan and sink those human leeches into the slimy depths of de spair That full dinner pail is proving a boomerang for the Eepublicans They are begining to wish they had not shied it at the Democrats because it is coming back again filled with dornicks The laboring man has been doing some figuring anent the full dinner pail and he has found that both pail and con tents are harder to get because more ex pensive than they were four years ago The reason the dinner pail and the food that the thrifty housewife packs into it each morning have increased in price is because the trusts fostered by a Republican administration have gotten control of them At the same time the trusts instead of employing more men at increased wages have dis missed thousands of men and reduced the wages of other thousands The la boring man after investigating all these things has come to the conclu sion that if he has full dinner pail he is not indebted to the Republican admin istration for it and if he wants to con tinue to have a full dinner pail he will have to help elect W J Bryan the candidate of the party Avhich is opposed to trusts The Gulf states have been swept by a terrible tropical hurricane and tidal wave Whole towns have been blotted out thousands of lives have been lost countless millions of dollars worth of property and crops destroyed In the city of Galveston alone 600 to a 1000 persons have been killed There is hardly a habitable house in the city and her helpless inhabitants are ap pealing for outside aid which

I On Labor Day Sept 3 William J Bryan and Theodore Roosevelt stepped into scales that weighed popular favor with the workingmen of Chicago The scales were balanced upon the platform from which both the distinguished visi tors delivered non political addresses to the 15000 persons who had come to Electric Park to attend the Labor Day picnic Both of the candidates receiv ed respectful treatment but the crowd was all for Bryanand the scales of pop ularity was weighed down with the ap plause of his admirers who outnum bered the cheers for the New York governor ten to one The difference be tween the reception accorded Bryan and Roosevelt was like that between the warmth of a red hot boiler and a 2 shilling oil stove New Yorks gov enor was allowed to come through the crowds with moderate hindrance from admirers who wished to shake his hands There was no insistent mob that barred his way and let him pass only when he had shaken every bodys right hand No cordon of po licemen was compelled to part a press ing crowd with clubs When he as cended the platform a few cheers and a generous hand applause were the limits of his welcome His speech made he fled by open path How different was the welcome to Bryan From the moment when he alighted from the carriage m which accompa nied by two labor representatives he had come to the grounds from the Au ditorium hotel he vas m the hands of a mob wild with enthusiasm know ing only the one resolve to shake his hands or pat him on thebackand wildly uproarious in proclaiming that he was the boy for them and their Novem ber ballots Smiling in spite of the efforts of his admirers fo tear him to pieces he was pushed and hauled by a squad of police until he reached the platform around and in front of which were massed as many thousands and more as could hope to hear the nomi nees words Press Letter In addition to the evils which he and the farmer share in common the labor ing man will be the first to suffer if oriental subjects seek work in the Uni ted States the first to suffer if Ameri can capital leaves our shores to em ploy oriental labor m the Philipines to supply the trade of China and Japan the first to suffer from the violence which the military spirit arouses and the first to suffer when the methods of imperialism are applied to our own government W J Bryan Over one hundred labor leaders have been thrown into jail in Porto Eico by the military authorities All labor or ganizations are being suppressed The men in jail are the presidents secretaries and members of the arbi tration committees of nearly all the la bor unions of any consequence in Por to Rico Oiganized labor in the island has petitioned labor organizations in the United States to appeal to the ad ministration at Washington to obtain the release of the labor leaders from prison and to allow the organization of labor unions to proceed without prose cution This is the kind of liberty Mc Kinley is giving the men he promised to make free Any laboring man who votes to keep in power the present gang of liberty stranglers is forging chains that will shackle him the same as the Porto Ricans and it will not be long at the present gait we are going either Imperialism and labor unions are not have not nor never will be friends If 100000 men are withdrawn from the rank of the producers and placed as a burden on the backs of those who remain it must mean longer hours harder work and greater sacrifices for those who toil and the farmer while he pays more than his share of the ex penses of the army has no part in army contract or in developing com panies and his sons are less likely to fill the positions in the army than the sons of those who by reason af wealth or political prominence exert influence at Washington Great problems are solved slowly but struggling humanity marches on step by step content at each nightfall if it can pitch its tent on a Lttle higher ground It was God himself who placed in every human heart the love of liberty He never made a race of people so low in the scale of civiliza tion or intelligence that it would wel come a foreign master W J Bryan Mr McKinley is not talking a great deal this campaign but his action in holding up the Stars and Stripes that some little Americans are endeavoring to haul down speaks louder than words and the voters -of the country will ap plaud with their ballots Pioneer Press Who was the little American m Alaska Mutual comuanies navlossesin full Ntfubtm t tm Bife Afettftt Eichard Oineys conversion to the Bryan cause is in some respects the most notable event of the campaign to date Mr Olney was Grover Cleve lands secretary of the state and by all odds the ablest man in the cabinet He is a Boston man identified with many interests commonly supposed to be an tagonized by the Kansas City platform But he is a Democrat He was the au thor of the Venezuela message wherein he made Groyer Cleveland defy the British government to the point of wari td try to extend its territories in South America Such a man was not likely to give his support to an administration tarily hauled down the American flag over American territory in Alaska It is the final test No American de serving the name can do more or less than Mr Olney has done The brains and heart of the American people go with this staunch New England Amer icanaway from McKinley to Bryan The interests behind McKinley want a big standing army They want it for use at home They want it sta tioned at the great industrial centers It comes handy when capital cant make labor do its bidding And if these interests cant get it one way theyll get it another They got a war tax to pay the expenses of the Spanish war That war has been oyer nearly two years But the tax goes on just the same They need the money for a bigger army A Eepublican congress wont reduce the standing army If it ever gsts through with foreign con quest the regiments now abroad will be stationed at convenient points at home to act as policemen over our own working classes There is method in all this military madness Have you ever noticed the funny looking little elephant at the head of the editorial column of a Eepublican newspaper Thats Hanna McKinleys brand They have a roundup once in awhile and pick up all mavericks and brand them with the little ele phant Then the aforesaid mavericks cant bawl anything but Prosperity even if they are starving to death Teddy the Terrible had no ter rors for the Chicago workingmen When they passed in review of Labor Day they ignored him and cheered William J
