As the day of election draws near the importance of the event and its far-reaching possibilities are dawning with tremendous effect upon the public conscience. Slowly but surely the signs of the times point with unerring finger to a social and political change. No man can prophesy the form it may assume. Some who are alive to the vital force and natural laws that govern the destiny of men and nations understand the nature and spirit of the coming change so near at hand. They also know that the result of the election will be a great factor in giving shape and form to the future policies that will govern our affairs. They believe as well as a vast majority of the American people do, that the time has come when the people and not the trusts shall govern the affairs of the nation. They know that the power of these soulless combinations has been acquired by and through the policies of the republican party, and now, having grown to such colossal proportions, defy the government and spurn the party and power that gave them birth. They also know that the machinery of the republican party has been the instrument of giving us a government of the trusts, for the trusts and by the trusts. The importance of a political change is manifest to all who think, and read, and understand. And the importance of this change is so apparent that few will remain at home on election day. It is the solemn duty of every voter to register his disapproval at the ballot box on election day. A disapproval that will say to organized greed, "Mankind has created wealth and Humanity shall control it."
