ist class. It is true that there are some plutocrats and trust
magnates in the Democratic party, but as a rule it is composed of the
smaller capitalists who have been worsted by the larger ones and are now
demanding that the trusts be destroyed and, in effect, that the laws of
industrial evolution be suspended.

The Democratic party, like the Republican party, is financed by the
capitalist class. Belmont, Ryan, Roger Sullivan, Taggart and Hinky Dink
are liberal contributors to its fund. The Tammany organization in New
York, notorious for its corruption and for its subserviency to the
powers that rule in capitalist society, is one of the controlling
factors in the Democratic party.

Woodrow Wilson is the candidate of the Democratic party for president.
He was seized upon as a "progressive"; as a man who would appeal to the
common people, but he never could have been nominated without the votes
controlled by Tammany and the "predatory interests" so fiercely
denounced in the convention by William Jennings Bryan.

It is true that Woodrow Wilson was not the first choice of Belmont,
Ryan, Murphy and the Tammany corruptionists, but he was nevertheless
satisfactory to them or they would not have agreed to his nomination,
and since the convention it is quite apparent that Wilson has a working
agreement and a perfect understanding with the predatory interests which
Bryan sought to scourge from the convention.

_Bryan and Wilson._

In his speech before the delegates denouncing Ryan, Belmont and Murphy,
Bryan solemnly declared that no candidate receiving their votes and the
votes of Murphy's "ninety wax figures" could have his support. Woodrow
Wilson received these votes and without these and other votes controlled
by "the interests" he could not have been nominated, and if Bryan now
supports him he simply stultifies himself before the American people.

Mr. Wilson is no more the candidate of the working class than is Mr.
Taft or Mr. Roosevelt. Neither one of them has ever been identified with
the working class, has ever associated with the working class, except
when their votes were wanted, or would dare to avow himself the
candidate of the working class.

When the recent strikes occurred at Perth Amboy and other industrial
centers in New Jersey, Governor Woodrow Wilson ordered the militia out
to shoot down the strikers just as Governor Theodore Roosevelt ordered
out the soldiers to murder the strikers at Croton Dam, N. Y.
