A broad labor protest movement opposes Bryan and Gompers in the presidentials. The federation and unions debate labor’s political alignment with the Democratic party and warn of threats to workers if labor support shifts or declines.
A former speech by Hon. James S. Sherman argues protectionist tariff policy spurs national prosperity. He defends the tariff revision pledge and cites the need to support producers, capital, and consumers while contrasting Democratic opposition.
A partial list presents seven paragraphs arguing why Bryan’s criticisms are invalid. The piece notes Bryan refused popular vote for senator in 1904, accuses him of opposing the publicity and postal savings laws, and questions his currency and tariff positions while praising Republican reforms under Roosevelt era policy.
President Roosevelt endorses Taft’s injunctions as a standard of fair dealing and even handed justice. He argues the rulings align with rights of workers, employers, and the public, contrasting Judge Taft with time-servers and corrupt corporations.
A Chicago News piece argues against state guarantees for bank deposits. It compares bank safety to railways, notes deposit protection shifts risk to sound banks, and favors private insurance or maintaining current bank-led safeguards over a broad guaranty fund. It warns of increased banking risk and economic instability if guaranteed deposits were required. The article cites national bank statistics from 1908 and critiques Oklahoma style proposals.
A National Mirror article argues West Virginia Democrats oppose negro enfranchisement and says Bryan cannot discuss the race issue. It asserts misled black leaders expect votes for Bryan, while he avoids the topic as essential to his platform.
