DRIVEN TO DESPERATIONThe Old Bunco Cry of “‘PANIC” Is Started by Defenders
of Trusts and Monopolies
Just one instance of the dastardly nature of thecourse of some “bis: business men” will suffice.
Only a few days afro elaborate two-page adver-tisements were printed in Detroit bv some of thewealthy automobile manufacturers of that city,wherein they sought to inflame the people againstWoodrow Wilson and the Democratic party becauseof their stand for a REASONABLE and JUST TAR-IFF' instead of a tariff for EXTRA PROFIT.
When the voters know that such a cry comesfrom an industry that has in a few years made MOREMILLIONAIRES than any other industry in the his-tory of this country, in the same length of time—-when they know that investments of SEVERAL HUN-DRED THOUSAND DOLLARS have in a few yearsgrown into PROPERTY VALUES OF MILLIONSUPON MILLIONS, and meanwhile have been payingMILLIONS IN DIVIDENDS, will they be hoodwinkedby such bare-faced deception?
Men of Michigan, let us be men; let us rebukethis old game of intimidation. Show the Morgans,who are backing Taft, and the Perkins, who are back-ing Roosevelt, that this is a year for the PEOPLEto RULE. Therefore, vote for
WOODROW WILSON for President.
WOODBRIDGE N. FERRIS for Governor, andthe entire Democratic State ticket.
EDWARD FRENSDORF for Congressman-at-Large.
FRANK E. DOREMUS for Congressman fromthe First District, or the Democratic candidate forCongress in whatever District you may reside. Alsothe Democratic candidates for the Legislature as theonly way whereby we may have,
ALFRED LUCKING for I nited States Senator.
