H*5 "I HtnW SOMERSAULTS OF ROOSEVELT William Jennings Bryan Analyzes Record of Third Term Candidate HIS SUDDEN CONVERSION No Message In Behalf Cause In Seven and a T. R. Was President By WILLIAM JENNING3 BRYAN. Solomon says that the borrower is servant unto the lender. If this ap plies to one who borrows ideas Mr. Roosevelt does not recognize the obli gation, for he has not only borrowed from the Democratic party as few pub lie men have borrowed from an oppos ing party, but he has shown himself strangely ungrateful for the ideas tak en. Of course it will not be contended, that an idea can be patented. It is the only thing, in fact, that is not subject to monopoly. Even Mr. Perkins, with all his fond ness for the trust, would not contend that a monopoly in ideas could be formed and made subject to regulation by a bureau appointed by the presi dent. Mr. Roosevelt, however, has won his popularity by the advocaey of things previously advocated by the Democrats, and still he is all the while assailing the Democrats bitterly and bas shown toward them a hostility that is hard to explain. To show the extent of his borrowing, let me enumerate some of the things which he now advocates that were ad vocated by the Democrats at an ear lier date. Shall the People Rule? Take his paramount issue of the present campaign—namely, the rule of the people. The platform adopted by the Democratic .national convention, at Denver four years ago contained the following: 'Shall the people rule?' is the over whelming issue which manifests itself In all the questions now under discus sion." Here Is the very phrase which he employs, and it is not only declared to be an issue, but the overwhelming is sue. It was dwelt upon by the candi dates and by other speakers during the campaign, so that Mr. Roosevelt, then president, may be assumed to have had of it. He not only refused to admit then that it was the paramount Issue, but he displayed extraordinary activity in urging upon the country Mr. Taft, whom he has since declared to be the agent of bosses and the ene my of popular government. It would seem that he ought to make some Bligh acknowledgement of his Indebtednes th Democratic party for suggesting thi to him. At least he might the issue in quota- is no advocatin the direct election of senators, but if he ever ex pressed himself in favor of this reform earlier than two years ago the fact has escaped my observation, and I have not only watched carefully, but waited anxiously, for some favorable expression from him. Long Fight For Popular Senators. ft of People's Half Years Election of The Democratic party began the fight for the popfllar election of sena tors 'twenty years ago this summer, when a Democratic house of repre sentatives at Washington passed for the first time a resolution submitting the necessary amendment. Since that time a similar resolution has been passed by the house in five other con gresses—first, in 1894 by another Dem ocratic house then, after twe con gresses had elapsed, by three Republi can houses, and, last, by the present Democratic house. During the twenty years the reform has been Indorsed in three Democratic platforms, the plat forms of 1900, 1904 and 1908, and It bas been indorsed by the legislatures of nearly two-thirds of the states. Mr. Roosevelt must have known of the ef fort which was being made by the peo ple to secure the popular election of senators, and yet he took no part in the fight. During this time he was president for seven and one-half years, and it is quite certain that a ringing message from him would have brought victory to the people's cause, but no message came. Four years ago the convention which he controlled and which nominated Mr. Taft rejected. by a vote of seven to one, a resolution Indorsing this reform. Still "Mr. Roosevelt did not say any* thing. He neither rebuked the Repub lican- convention nor indorsed the strong plank which was included, in the Denver platform. Even Mr. Taft went so far during the campaign of 1*08 as to say that PERSONALLY he was INCLINED to favor the popular election of senators by Che people, but Mr. Roosevelt did not even indicate an Intention In that direction. Now, when the reform is practically secured—'the amendment being before the states for ratification—he declares himself in fa vor of It. Would It not be fair for Mm to indicate in some way his ap preciation of the long continued fight waged by the Democrats in behalf of this reform before he espoused it? T. R. and the Income Tifc Mr. Roosevelt is in favor of an in come tax. How long since? His first Indorsement of it was during his sec ond term, and thsn ft was. suggested as a means of limiting swollen for tunes and not as a means of raising ssvenu*. The Democratic party h* a •aM^s^-jjj-j-j eluded an Income tax provision In the Wilson law of 1894. 'When this pro vision waa declared unconstitutional. by the supreme court by a majority of one the Democratic party renewed the fight and has contended for the income tax In three national cam-i paigns. In 1908 the Democratic plat* I form demanded the submission of an amendment specifically authorizing an Income tax—the very amendment now before the states for ratification. Mr. Roosevelt's candidate, Mr. Taft, declared during the campaign that an amendment was not necessary, and Mr. Roosevelt never made any argu ment in favor of the amendment or In favor of the principle embodied In It. {The amendment has now been ratified by thirty-four states but, so far as I know, Mr. Roosevelt has never made a speech In favor of its ratification nor, since the submission of the'i amendment, made a speech urging an Income tax as a part of our fiscal sys tem. It would not require any great stretch of generosity on his part to credit the Democratic party with pri ority In the advocacy of this reform. Not Always For Railroad Regulation. Mr. Roosevelt is now an advocate of railroad regulation. When did he com mence? The Democratic party in its platforms of 1896, 1900 and 1904 de manded an extension of the powers of the interstate commerce commission. Up to 1904 Mr. Roosevelt never dis cussed the subject of railroad regula tion officially or in public speech, so far as I have been able to find. Al though nominated without opposition in the convention of "1904, his platform contained no promise of railroad regu lation. By its attitude on the railroad question the Democratic party alienat ed the support of those railway officials who counted themselves Democrats, and Mr. Roosevelt, both In 1900, when he was a candidate for vice-president, and in 1904, when he was a candidate for president, had the benefit of the support of those ex-Democrats!"It..was In 1904 that he wrote his famous let ter to Mr. Harriman and In the state of New York profited by the campaign fund that Mr. Harriman raised. When after 1904 Mr. Roosevelt took up the subject of railroad regulation I he found more hearty support among the Democrats In the senate and bouse than among the Republicans, so that he has reason to know that the Dem- '. ocratic party has for a long time, plant ed itself boldly upon the people's side on the subject of railroad regulation. Under the circumstances we might expect some complimentary reference to our party's attitude Instead of anathemas. T. R.'« Complete Somersault. On the subject of publicity as to campaign contributions he has not only adopted the Democratic position but he has been compelled to turn a com plete somersault in order to do sorbin 1908 the Democratic platform demand ed the publication before election of the names of individual contributors and the amounts contributed. -Mr. Roosevelt at that time Indorsed 'Mr. Taft's contention that the publication ahould be deferred until after the elec tion, and even went so far as to give reasons for believing that It would, be improper to make the publication be fore the election. Two years later ho declared in favor of publicity before and after the election, landing on the Democratic side shortly before the law was enacted carrying out the Demo cratic platform on this subject. Hero, surely, he ought to praise the Demo cratic party for the pioneer work it has done in purifying politics. Here area few of the things which bear the Democratic brand, and with all of his experience on the plains he will not be able to "work the brand over" so as to make it look \ke "T. R." REPUBLICAN HOPE RESTS IN WILSON Gov. Burke Declares for Demo crat and Gives His Reasons. By JOHN BURKE, Governor of North Dakota. The election of Governor Wilson is the only thing that can save the Re* publican party. Four years of Presi dent Taft has split it in two. We have no reason to believe that he will be any different or that his second ad ministration, if he is re-elected, will be any more satisfactory to the people than his first. His re-election will mean the division of the Republican party into many warring factions, which can only result In final dissolu tion of all. The end will come quicker and juat as certain If Roosevelt Is elected, for he Is no longer a Republican, but Is the leader of anew party, at war with the Republican party, as it is with th# Democratic party. On the other hand. If Wilson Is elected the Roosevelt par ty will perish the Republicans will reorganise their party, purge It of the baneful influence of corporate power and greed and make It again the grand old party It was in the days of Lincoln. Louis D. Brandels performed a real public service when he quoted the rec ords to show that George W. Perkins is and always has been an enemy of union labor.

Wilson Returns With Prompt and Convincing Answer. COUNTRY" WAITED FOR CLASH Wondered If It Was to Produce Parallel of Parker Episode—Mors V^Proof If It Is Wanted. When the country read on the morn ing of Oct. 8 the charge of Woodrow Wilson before his audience in Colo rado that the steel trust Is back of the Roosevelt program of trust regulation and In the same papers Colonel Roose velt's demand for proof of the asser tion it sat up and took notice. Would this produce a parallel of the famous episode of the 1904 campaign, when the colonel called Judge Parker a liar for asserting (what has been so re cently proved) that the corporations were contributing to the Roosevelt campaign.? There was eager waiting for Gover nor Wilson's answer. It came prompt ly the next day in his speech at Kan sas City. Concisely, convincingly and dispassionately Governor Wilson met the Roosevelt challenge, and should the controversy be pressed further the Democratic candidate will give the Bull Moose all he wants, for the cor roboration whereof he spoke Is abun dant. Wilson's Charge. At Pueblo, the center of the western steel Industry, Governor Wilson said: "Evidence of what I am about to say comes to me by way of corroboration every day in forms that I cannot ques tion. It is a very interesting circum stance that the United States Steel corporation is behind the third party program with regard to the regulation of the trusts. "Now, I do not say that to prejudice you. I am perfectly ready to admit, that the officers of that corporation may think that the third party is the beat thing for the United States. That Is not my point. My point is that these gentlemen have grown up In the at mosphere of the things they them selves have created and that the laws of the United States so far have at tempted to destroy the things that they have created and that they now want a government which will perpet uate the things they have created. "You therefore have to choose now a government such as the United StateB Steel corporation thinks the United States ought to have or a government such as we used to have before these gentlemen succeeded in setting up pri vate monopoly." Roosevelt's Challenge. The same night at Albany, If. Y., Colonel Roosevelt upon reading reports of Governor Wilson's speech said: "As far as I know the statement has not the slightest foundation in fact. Mr. Wilson has no business to make such a statement unless he has the proof, and if he has any proof I de mand that he make it public Imme diately. If he has not let him retract his statement as the only manly and honorable thing to do." Wilson's "Retort Courteous." The next night Governor Wilson made this reply before the great au dience that greeted him in Kansas City: "I understand from the newspaper reports that Mr. Roosevelt was dis tressed by my suggestion the other day that the United States Steel corpora tion was back of his plan for control ling the trusts. He interpreted my re mark to mean that they were support ing him with their money. I was not thinking about money. "I do not know whether they are supporting him with their money or not. It does not make any difference. What I meant was that they are sup porting him with their thought, and their thought is not our thought. I meant, and I say again, that the kind of control which he proposes is the kind of control that the United States Steel corposation wants. "I am perfectly willing to admit that they think it is the best for the coun try. My point is that this Is a method conceived from the point of view of the very men who are to be controlled and that that is just the wrong point of view from which to conceive it. "If Mr. Roosevelt is willing to have Mr. Perkins Buggest how the corpora tions ought to be regulated why will he not be willing to take suggestion* from the same quarters as to the de tails of the regulation? Mark you, la dles and gentlemen, I am not discuss-, lng Individuals. I know Mr. George Perkins. I have no quarrel with' any thing exoept his judgment. Ho does not look at those things In the way men who do not wish to accustom their minds to monopoly look at them." There ahould be an immediate revi sion of the tariff downward. It should begin with the schedules most obvious ly used to kill competition and raise prices in the United States, and should be extended to every Item which af fords opportunity for monopoly and special advantage until special favors shall have been absolutely withdrawn and our laws of taxation transformed 'from a system of governmental pat rohags Info a system of Just and rea sonable charges which shall fall when they will create ths least burden.
