Will The REAL FREEMEN
Uphold Wilson's Hands?
Wood row Wilson has refused emphatically to accept contributions to
his Campaign Fund from the Interests, from corrupting influences, from
any questionable sources.
He has given us, the Democratic National Committee, to understand
that he will go into the White House with clean hands or not at all.
Who Is Getting The Money
of The Trusts?
So Hire h:i kMMI Wilson 'I stand, sn well known his Incor
ruptible purpose, thai no private intercut have dared to
approach either our candid. ite or his committee.
W'e have not hern offend a penny by the mutt, and
we certainly have not toiicited a penny from them. The
moilly ol the interests is being spent against Wilton. No
matter for whom we need not disctitt that here- it is now
common gossip tiiat the money power of the nation it being
uted in an atteftipt to deleut Woodrow Wilton.
What Is a "People's Campaign?"
We arc addrettiug ourselves to the ral freeman of
America, the upright, Progrettive Voters ol the couotry
who are doing the work o( the nation and not the work o(
trusts and bosses,
We realiie that the salvation of every righteoui cause
rests with you.
Olten this cry of a People's Party or a People'! President
it railed by the very forccl we seek to defeat and whom we
mutt and will defeat. Hut look to our standard and our
standard bearer and decide yourtelf at to which it the
People's Campaign and must, therefore, be fought with the
People's money.
Woodrow Wilson Has Clean Hands
Woodrow Wilton it the cleanest man in national politics
He came of illustrious forefathers, who laid by blood and
Heredity tlte foundation of a future Ptesidcm through gen
eration after generation of upright record.
11 Wilson is to be elected it must be by clean money and
there is only one source of sucn money from the voters of
the country who realise the importance ol having a govern
ment uninAuenced by the almighty dollar.
Wilson's hands are clean,
Will yau uphold them?
