The Republican Conven
tion.
It has passed into history ,
and what did it do ?
It nominated Tart , a man
of high -personal character ,
but wholly unfit to carry
out the Roosevelt policies ,
for the very good reason
that he has never shown-the
least sympathy for or with
those policies , and for the
further reason that lie lives
and moves in politics with
thcs3 great interests which
have at all times thrown
stumbling blocks in the way
o.f every reform attempted
by .President Roosevelt.
The convention nominat
ed for vice-president Con
gressman Sherman of Xew
York. For many years lie
has been the ideal advocate
of special interests in con
gress , a trust magnate' and
a big banker. He has stood
like a stone wall in the path
of every reform advocated
by President Roosevelt , act
ing the part of right bower
to the notorious Joe Can
non in all efforts of that
rafty corporation lien ch
in en to discredit the presi
dent and to defeat his plans
for reform in national af
fairs.
And what about the plat
form adopted by the nation
al republican convention ?
Did the convention put
the seal of approval on any
o the reforms urged by
President Roosevelt ?
By the overwhelming A ote
of 866 to 114 a plank favor-
ng the election of United
States senators by the di
rect vote of the people was
defeated.
President Roosevelt asked
f
: hc convention to declare in
c
: aver of a law to secure pub
licity of campaign contri
butions , and yet the con
vention spat in the face of
he president , and repudi-
ited that plank by a vote of
830 to 94.
Senator La Follette want- ,
d a plank in favor of the
physical valuation of rail-
: oads for taxation and rate-
naking purposes , but the
Wall street influence choked
that good plank to death by
the enormous majority of
917 to 63.
And what did the conven
tion do with the all-import
ant question of guarantee
of bank deposits ? Again
the grip of the great fiinanj
cial interests was clearly g
shown. So intenae was the

opposition of those financial
interests to the popular de
mand of the people for a
law to make all banks safe ,
that not one word on that
important subject was spok
en by any delegate in that
great convention , and not
one line of the platform
touches that great and
much-needed reform.
Looking at the nominees
of the convention , and look
ing at the platform adopted ,
o friend of Pros. Roosevelt
velt can find one ray of hope
for carrying out of Roosevelt
velt policies by such candi
dates , standing upon such a
platform.
