On Monday of this week, the
editor of this paper called upon Mr
E A Rowley at his 'Headquarters at
candidate for president
stead of even thinking
Mow in-
keeping
that pledge, he actually worked ever
the Rasbach hotel for an interview since to bring about his own nomina-
relative to the feeling of business
men throughout the state with regard
to the political situation-
Mr- Rowley is from Chicago
and w.ts a prominent democratic
worker there during Bryan's former
campaigns and is in Oklahoma rep-
resenting the Ifeeb ild Safe and Lock
company-
Mr. Rowley is in close touch, not
only with the business men of Okla-
homa. but wgs instrumental in or-
ganizing the retailers of the state
under the influence of the (fklahoma
City chamber of commerce.
We were gladly surprised at the
ready manner m which Mr, Rowley
spoke for Taft and quick disposition
of the whole matter.
He said in part;—“You may say
for me that I shall vote for Taft. 1
have just come in from a six weeks
trip over the eastern part of the state
Among the people v ’th whom 1
do business a majority of them seem
to be democrats. Fully two thirds
of these democrais, and I think 90
per cent, are going to vote for Taft"
“What turned me against Bryan
and 1 find this is true in most such
instances—is this;—when Bryan
was defeated Nov. 4, 1900, he seut j hard this time that no man of the

tion and to make the
anyother absolutely impossible”
“We consider that the personal
integrity of a president is of more
consequence to the business men of
the country than is the empty chat-
ter about “let the people rule.”
“How amazing too, is the threat
to wreck all kinds of business, in-
discriminately, through institution
of a legalized boycott ’’
“When we contrast the action of
President Roosevelt, in keeping a
personal pledge against the most
tremendous pressure ever put upon
a public man to again stand for
president, we turn away from Bryan
in most pitiful disgust.”
“I do not know what the feeling
is in the western part of the state—
1 have not been over it lately.
Neither do I know as to tin- farm-
ing classes. It is safe to sav, how-
ever, that nowhere in the state is
there any movement toward Bryan
“ faking business men as a whole
I get enough inkling from the out
side, and especially from my native
state, to know that they are quietly
solidifying themselves into a general
movement to slam Bryan down so
BRYAN’S TARIFF I
GRAMME
He Would Have “the
Rule” by Taking Away
Bread and Butter.
■RO

The purport of Mr. Bryan’s
speech on the Tariff is that lie is
going to have “the people rule” by
taking away their bread and butter
In 1892 tile nation voted for a
Democratic Tariff, thereby accord-
ing to the Nebraskan, enforcing
his s'ogan that the people shall
rule. But this vote against the
American'I’aiiff closed our mills
and factories. When they yverc
closed American wage earners not
only lost their accustomed jobs,
but could find no others. In vain
search for employment I hey ate up
their savings in the banks and
then enlisted in the bread lines
W hen the workingmen of the
country were not earning anything
and had nothing to spend t he far-
mers had nobody to whom to sell
their crops. At first they sent
them to market at low prices, j
which nntteil them a loss. Then
they burned them in the fields be-!
cause they were not wort It harvest-
ing and shipping. Then they!
plastered their farms with mort-
gages to get money on which to
live, since they could not get it
from the products which they rais
Those who had saved a compet-
ence, investing it in securities, had
no income. In this poverty and
misery the people of the lYiited
States languished until they had
an opportunity in 189<S to vote
back the American Tariff system.
Did the people rule ordid some-
body else rule when with their
election of McKinley they reopen-
ed the mills and factories, restored
the payrolls of the wage earners,
put value into the crops of the
farmers, revived the business of
the merchants and renewed the
dividends and interest payments
of sec nr it ins? Did the people rule
or did somebody else rule when
with their re-election of McKinley
they further multiplied the wealth
and increased the prosperity and
happiness of the country and all
its citizens? Did I he people rule
ordid somebody else rule when
with their election of Roosevelt
they exceeded even the extraordi-
nary benefits which bail come from
(heir ballot box verdicts in favor
of MeK inicy and the American
r .;ir.
Since 1894 two years after the
disastrous election of Mr. Cleve-
land lor the second time and of a
Free-Trade Democratic Congress
for the first time since the Civil
Mar—the Amei cnii people have
been voting against what Mr.
•outinue them. This was the rule
>f the people, and no other rule
i'll . | >. iS.iible.
Now Mr. Bryan asks the wage
earner again to vote himself on
i.' a j-ill as lie did sixteen years
ig . Inc fanner to vote his crops
'into bun-tires anti Ids land, build-
ings and iuipltunoir.s into inort-

•Id ag * t i v.ile liiuiself out of
livid nub. and interest. Ile asks
Ih mi to do this to prove that the
‘people shall rule” by turning over
all that belongs to them to foreign
capital and labor, which are to be
permitted, if Mr, Bryan and the
Democratic party have their way,
nomination of to come into this market and sell
their products in place of the pro-
ducts of American industry, and
the American wage earner, on
whose pay the profits and success
of this nation and the welfare of
its people depend.
•Well, the people can do this if
they want to, for it is their right
rule now as four years ago, and
eight years ago, and twelve and
sixteen years ago. They voted in
1892 to shut up shop, but four
years Inter they voted to open up
again, and ever since they have
been voting to stay open. This
year they can Vote to shut up shop
again if they choose. The ballot
box is waiting for them. Nobody
disputes their right to do as th v
please.
Nothing can prevent them.
But we have no idea that the
American people will vote to shut
up shop again. There are some
tilings about which Mr. Bryan
seems to be able to fool them, but
one of them, we are positive, is
not about the way they gain aiid
keep their bread and butter and
the way they can throw it away
The farmer knows whether lie
sells his crops at a huge profit
when the American people are at
work. The wage earner knows
whether lie has the means to buy
what lie needs when lie is em-
ployed at high pay.
All the American people know
whether they are well off when
onr industries thrive, when every-
body is busy and when abundance
blesses the land. Therefore we
hope that Mr. Bryan will go on
witn such stuff as his Tariff argu-
ments. There will be no easier
and surer way to make his defeat
terrific.—New York Dress.
