Woodland Daily Democrat (Newspaper) - October 23, 1908, Woodland, California WEEKLY ESTABLISHED 1869 YOLO SPEECH M National Issues not Discussed With Frankness WOODLAND CALIFORNIA EVENING OCTOBER 2 1008 Kan Tha What He Said Wai What He Left Unsaid The purpose of this article is to dea with Congressman speec at Yolo We respectfully ask our Re publican friends to read It carefully for we expect to show tha lie was not frank In hla discussion jj public questions that he did not stat the situation fairly and that lie gav tKe Republican party credit for it did not doand charged the Demo party with things it is in n way responsible for Mr called attention to th pledge of the Republican party to con its support of President Roose policies and then made a pre tense of defining those policies firs generalizing them under the rathe vague head of Internal reform Late he specialized the by mention ing only such measures as both agreed upon and which received th of men of all parties For in stance he declared that the pure food law the railroad th employers liability the packing measure defining the ag at wnich children may be employed the reclamation law and other mat tera about which there is no difference of opinion are the th presidents policies He utterly Ignored all mention o the presidents distinctive policies ev of which is Democratic anc everyone of which had been by Mr Bryan In previous campaigns Mr correctly stated tha term ot the lati President McKinley President Hoose veil endeavored to the poll cies of his predecessor but that in 1905 after his inauguration he Inau policies of hie own That is true and that is why Presiden Roosevelt waa for a time so popular with Democrats For instance In special messages advocated an an Inherit ance tax the physical valuation of the direct primary law an many other reforms all of which teen planks in national Democratic platforms four eight or twelve years previously It will be remembered that on the of January President Roosevelt sent a special message to congress urg ing the enactment into laws of cer Vl tala of his policies and that a lican congress did not even read ft Two months later message was re ferred tol various committees but no action was ever taken Mr Williams leader of the minority pleaded for thirty Republicans to join with the solid minority to take up the Presidents policies buthis appea was made in vain Every one of these distinctive Roose policies was presented to the Republican national convention and one of them was rejected by an overwhelming majority The Demo cratic platform endorses the income tax The Republican platform is silent The Democratic platform en dorses the election of senators by a direct vote of the people The licans rejected such a plank by a vote of 866 to 114 The Democratic platform favors a publicity of campaign funds The Republican platform such a plank by a vote of 880 to 94 Democrats favor the day on all government work The Re publicans are silent The Democratic platform favora the physical valuation of railroads The Republican conven tion rejected a similar plank by a vote of 917 to 93 Mr McKinlay referred to the ex tension of the powers of the Inter state commerce commission and the regulation rate as a part of the presidents policy but he did not ex plain that the rate was opposed by a very large majority of the Re vt publican senators and favored by prac all the Democratic senators True enough It was the presidents rate no Republican senator would father it and after the president had appealed to Senators Bailey and Tin man the latter consented to become sponsor for it Tlie president wanted the law amended so as to increase and enlarge the powers of the Interstate commerce commission The Demo crats Ui their platform endorsed the presidents Republican platform utterly Ignored It But Mr speech was more remarkable for the things to discuss than for those he did discuss For the Democratic platform opposes the admission ot Astatic Im migrants who cannot be amalgamate with our population The Republica platform la silent and Mr has not and will not discuss exclusion for tha reason that he that President Roosevelt In a message to congress urged the ment of a law authorizing the natura of Japanese and the sentiment in California against th naturalization of Japanese as a sur mark of low civilization a low mora ity Mr McKinlay dodged that issue to the further reason that Mr Taft la o record as favoring the modification o the Chinese exclusion act and he ha designated those who have opposed any modification as able and deeply prejudiced Mr ridiculed the idea tha Mr Roosevelt ever borrowed any o his policies from Mr Bryan and h was particularly severe on Mr Brya because he wants trusts broken up b placing their products on the free list Let us see about this In 1886 Mr Bryan said The tariff laws be so amended by placing the product of toe trusts on the free list to pre vent monopoly under the plea of pro In 1908 Mr Roosevelt wrote I ad vocals the reduction of the tariff upo tha articles coming into with the articles controlled by th trusts On the Philippine question Mr Bryan Jaid in 1908 I believe that we shoul do to the Philippines as we have don with Cuba and that it le our duty tw make that promise now and upon a suitable guarantee of the protection o American and foreign residents to giv the Philippines their independence One year later President Roosevelt writing on the same question said I believe in the ultimate of the Philippines Concerning the income tax in 190 position was as follows I believe in the income tax ns a meth od of raising revenue for the govern ment In a message in 1907 Presiden Roosevelt wrote I wish to again urg upon you the necessity of some form of taxation upon the wealthy corporations and individual in comes As early as Mr Bryan said in relation to the control of railroads Wa demand tlie enlargement of the powers of the Interstate commerce commission and such restrictions am guarantees in the control of railroads as will protect the people from rob bery and oppression Two years later Mr Roosevelt said It is especially necessary that some representative of the national govern ment have full power to deal with the great corporations engaged in inter state commerce especially the grea interstate common carriers Mr Bryan in 1906 opposed govern ment by injunction and said are opposed to government by tion aa our support of the senate bil prohibiting it will show That bil meets my approval Mr ridiculed this position iut President Roosevelt said as late is this year I call your attention to the need of some action In con with the abuse of the tions in labor cases In relation to trusts Mr said n 1896 The Democratic party is op josed to trusts It would be o its duties to the people if It recog the moral or legal right ol those great corporations to stifle com petition bankrupt rivals and prey upon society In 1908 President Roosevelt In one of his messages said The fortunes by these corporate lona and trusts make it necessary for he government to have some control of hem Such monopolies are wholly in consistent with human liberty and not to be tolerated by a free people In 1896 Mr Bryan put himself on as follows I favor the reen of the Employers Liability aw Mr Roosevelt likewise put himself on record but not year Jater as follows I favor the Immediate re enactment of the Employers Liability aw Mr McKinlay tried to poke fun at tfr Bryan by accusing him of chang ng hla issues every election As an of this he cited hia advocacy of the free coinage of silver The only answer necessary to this is to remind Mr McKinlay that he made if not the irst one of the first speeches ever made in Napa county in favor of free liver that he hired his own hall for hat purpose that as soon as Mr Mc was nominated on a gold COFFEE Insist on the roasters name never mind the country it grew or is said to have grown in Johnston Blend Cof la two grades sold at 25 and 35 JOT Johnston Bros Dr a platform he without tlon or began making gold speeches and the state com sent him to the southern part f the state where no one knew any free silver Ideas Mr McKinlay the bank guarantee idea as one of Mr Bryans dreams He said that it is Wholly impracticable and that it had on Fourth THB KIND HEARTED BOOTBLACK A pretty
