Presidential EIection.-NecessIty OF Action.


To the Editor Of the Union:
WASHINGTON, Sept. 0, 1913.
Allow me to submit to you a few remarks in relation
to the present presidential campaign.
From my observation, there appears to be ukewarm-
ness or apathy the part of the democracy of the
try What gives to this, doubt the fact OF
leading politicians having great confidence In the success
of the party There no question but this will be the
case; but the democracy owes to the country greater
vigilance on this than the fact of eecng
their candidate Ii period that should rouse the parl
otsm of the democracy and fell the monster which our
opponents have offered to the nation, as the pioneer
would the forest There has been period since the ad
mnsration of John Adams and the bank question that
calls forth the energies of the democracy more than the
present If General Taylor is elected to the presidency
"a fresh from the field of battle, crowned with
victoryit will be dangerous precedent to future gen
eratons, and will place glorious country on the
catalogue of the Mexican and South American repub-
lies Another great evil attending this precedent that
men of military life, generally speaking, are unfit for
civil life. Their profession imbues their minds with a
spirit Of arrogance and tyranny and when thrown into
civil life, they incapable OF governing with prudence
and moderation Whilst our political controversies are
managed by civilians, the danger is essened but trans
fer it to military achievements, it becomes dangerous
The people partake OF the same spirit 1t nuses into
the minds Of our youth spirit which, if encouraged,
will prove dangerous to the nation.
1t may be argued that Washington was military man;
but the world has produced but Washington 1t
may also be argued that Jackson military man In
answer to this, Jackson had retired from military life
for Is years previous TO being called to the presidency
also, that by nature he constituted to govern in civil
life, having been bred to the profession Of the law and
having exercised the duties OF Judge of courts for
many years. But how is it with General Tayor' He
has been brought up to the military profession from his
YOUTH without intermisson from the military field the
present day And what does he say of himself That
having been devoted exclusively to his military profess
sion for forty years. he feels himself incompetent to per
form the duties that may be enjoined on him as the
President of the United States We cannot but admire
the candor OF the Old General in this confession; for
no doubt it is the conviction of an honest mind view
nf ho nm nrfu nnp
Gus precedens that has ever befaen the country, i
successful and enjon on every lover OF his country
and the democratic party, to himself up IN M
majesty and suppress this evil which presents itself
the discredt Of our national character and the dan
ger OF our free institutions.
