EVILS FROM WHICH WE SUFFER
and THE REMEDY
By George WW. Guthrie, Chairman Pennsylvania State Committee
Mr. Roosevelt in 1904 and of Mr. Taft
in F 1008, and the sources from which they
were drawn, have terrified and enraged
every one who leves his liberties.
Think of it, two hundred and fifty thou-
sand dollars raised and spent in the state
of New York a few days before the elec-
tion of 1004! And the man who raised it
boasted that it turned 50,000 votes.
How eould it be spent in that time and
how could it have produced that result
unless it was used for corruptiont
And this money was raised at the re-
quest of the President of the Unit
States, and was furnished by five men.
Mr. Roosevelt says that this money was
raised to affect the state election only.
Suppose this be true, what difference does
it make?
It is as corrupt to buy a Governorship
as the Presidency.
