of the Situation, Except as tn Funds.
ST. LOUIS, Mo, Aug. 8-The People'sparty
national executive committee held meet
ing here to-day. But little actual business
wac transacted, the meeting being DEVOTED
principally to talking over party matters
generally and campaign funds and pros
poets in particular. A resolution was
passed authorizing the Alabama State CON-
mittee to at once put full electoral ticket in
the field. The recent Alabama election was
discussed at some length. it being agreed
that the result augured well for the party's
success In that State in the fall. "It Is q

counties " ere nearly oil carried by Kolb."
Chairman Taubeneck announced that his
Colorado advices showed that forty-fve
papers in Colorado had deserted the old
parties and were supporting Weaver and
Field. Of those seven toen were formerly
Democratic organs, while the others were
Republicans.
The Watson investigation at Washing
ton was mentioned as having helped the
average voter" said Mr.. Rankin, "knows
it is true that liquor is sold at the restau-
rants in bOth branches of the national
Congress. and it is but reasonable to sup
pose that those Congressman who love
liquor should indulge In 1t to excess when
under the OK xcitement of debate"
Regarding finances, Treasurer Rankin
announced that the people were respond
ing literally to the recent call for CAM
paign Contributions I'VE expect to re-
ceive about $4,000. with which we will do
as much as will either of the old parties
with 5000, 600. Our people are poor. but re-
spending TO the call literally. and we are
going TO give this country the hottest CAM
palRn IL ever saw"
Encouraging reports were announced as
having been received from all over the
South and West. An official campaign
badge was talked over. as was the course

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH JOHNSON?

The Leader is alarmed over the situa-
tion in the 14th district. Every few
days it prints some wailful editorial,
over the case of man named johnson,
who Is running on the Republican
ticket against M. ID. Harter. AS the
district was gerrymandered to give
about two thousand Republican
majority the Leaders anxiety over
Johnson is significant. Something
must be wrong with johnson. Just
what ails him we can't quite under
stand; but the following dispatch from
Norwalk may throw some light on his
desperate case:
NoRwALK, Sept. Cit was no surprise
to the leading Republicans of this city
when the Chronicle, O weekly Republican
organ OF this city, whose editor is Il. r..
Loomis, came out in long editorial bot.
ing E. G. Johnson's nomination for con-
gress. 1t was known here two or three
weeks ago that such q step was contem'
plated by him, and he was labored with
by many Republicans to refrain from such
a suicidal step to himself, but his "eyes
we're soW and he fell into the pit which he
had digged.
AS the above dispatch was coined in
a Republican brain, and first printed in
a Republican newspaper, we judge the
disaffection in Huron county over this
no.account sort of a fellow for Congress
is of the most serious and aggravating
character.

THE LOSS IN VERMONT,

AS is usually the case the Associated
Press lied about the Vermont election.
IL now turns out just rs we printed in
the NEWS DEMOCRAT. The Republi-
can plurality in Vermont is lower than
1t has been for 30 years, Presidential
year. -Four years ago Harrison's ma
Iority over Cleveland was 2S,4O5. This
year the Republican majority is 1S,OS2,
loss OF 1923. This is more of loss
than we have been claiming in the
NEWS DEMOCRAT for the past five
days Under all the circumstances this
is terrible loss, in reliably Republic
can state.
McKinley's stumping tour in Ver-
mont was dazzling success in reduc-
ing the Republican vote wherever he
spoke. The Vermont Republican, the
leading Republican journal of the state,
said of him: Everywhere in the state
he has been received with the greatest
enthusiasm, listened to with the deep
est interest, and left an impress that
will weigh heavily against free trade
apostles In the coming elections" "Give
Colonel Fuller" Mckinley exhorted at
Brattleboro, mot less than 10000 ma
jority.' This is the majority
the Republicans expected. But
oh, what drop was there
my countrymen. The Republican
majority dropped lower than ever be-
fore known since the Republican party
was organized. What lesson there
is in this. Ali over this little state,
rock ribbed and ancient as the sun,
roamed that great tariff orator,
our own Mckinley. He made special
effort to call the attention of the mer-
cenary Vermonters that "in my bill"
the maple sugar growers of Vermont
are taken care of with a bounty, paid
in cash out of the United States Treas
ury. Copies of this great speech were
placed in the hands of every voter by
system of local supply. Lo, the re-
suit. A loss equal to over $1,000 in
Ohio. A loss that makes every New
England state, outside of Vermont,
Democratic. No wonder the boodlers
and trust sharks have been appealed to
so piteously to rush their bribe money
into Maine, in order to save that state
to the desperate Republican cause.
McKinleyism, with Mckinley in per.
son, got an awfully black eye in Yer
mont, Even the cold blooded and
mercenary Yankee of the little ginger
bread state could not stomach Nc
Kinleyism.

sLAlNe's coWAR0LY SURRENDER.

The exigencies of the Republican
situation have been used to damage the
reputation of James G.. Blaine. He has
been induced, against his conscience
and his better judgement, to write an
apology for the Mckinley tariff, and to
nominally endorse Harrison.
He did this against the good advice
of his wife and all her aunts and cous-
ins, including Gail Hamilton.
Since Blaine wrote the Mulligan let
tiers he has never perpetrated anything
so weak and foolish as this last effu-
sion.
Every body knows what Blaine's real
sentiments are On the Mckinley bill.
lie expressed his opinion on this in
famous measure to all his friends
freely, at the time 1t was pending in the
Senate. He wrote q letter for publica-
ton to his dearest and best friend,
Senator Frye of Maine, in which he
said:
"There is not a section or line in the
entire bill that will make market for
another bushel of wheat or another bar
rel of pork"
1t would have been better for Blaine
and his reputation to have remained
discreetly silent in this campaign.
Harrison is destined for defeat In No
vember, and then Blaine, had he kept
silent, would have been in position to
lead his party into new departure on
the tariff, on the lines marked out in
his letter to Senator Frye.
Now he has surrendered his judg-
ment and his conscience to the molock
of monopoly and greed, and when
Harrison goes down, Blaine will be
among the baggage wagons of his desc
lated camp.
Blaine seems to lack the one neces-
sary essential of true greatness-the
courage of his convictions.

HARRISON ACCEPTS.
From the Toledo News, Ind. Rep

AT last the agony isover. President
Harrison accepts. He has said so in a
letter 14O inches long and containing
about 10000 words. Any ordinary
business man could have accepted in a
letter of ten lines on one side of a sheet
of note paper. And he could have said
all that was necessary or that should
have been said.
President Harrison has added moth
ing to his case by his long stump
speech letter. He has not removed the
objection that he was nominated by
creators of his own creation and not
by the people. He has not so much as
squinted at single one of the vital
issues that knock at the political door
for admission. He plumed himself on
the vast accumulations of wealth in
this country, but he does not hint at
remedies for conditions that deprive
those whose labor produced this wealth
from enjoying their just portion. HIS
whole letter is carefully prepared
arrangement by monopoly on behalf
of plutocrecy. The News regrets the
evil lurch or bad judgement that induc-
ed Mr.. Harrison to inflict this letter on
the public at such an lnopportune
time.

M'KINLEYlSM AND THE CHOLERA
From the Chicago Herald.

The Herald holds, as it has held from
the beginning, that the Mckinley bill
organized that army of cholera victims
which came from the Black sea border:
that McKinley's adherents both here
and abroad furnish them provisions on
the march, and promise them plunder
when they completed the invasion of
these United States. The Herald
claims that the Republican party of
America in this year of grace has lev
eled death. blow at American labor,
and that the sickening stencil of its
gladly welcomed paupers is rising today
from Hoffman Island because q Demo.
cratic city commands it to halt there.
The Herald claims that the Republi-
can editor lies who says protection
helps the warkingman; that he knows
he lies, and glories in it.
The only free labor in America is
that untouched by protection. The
only slave labor in America today is
that which is called into being by the
satanic summons of accursed McKin.
leyism. The most abject service de.
manded by any despotis that compelled
by Carnegie and his brother tariff kings
from the workmen whose bodies and
souls they own.

The editor of the Evening Rep. was
badly ratified yesterday, and broke
loose upon his limited circle of tolerant
readers, with over column and half
of double loaded idiocy, which was
intended to be virulent. 1t was all
about the militia and the labor organi
cations of Canton, and was doubtless
intended for an attack on the NEWS
DESIoCRAT, because we have depre
Gated the attemps of the Rep. to create

is a good thing for the clientage of the
Evening Rep. that none of its regular
subscribers ever read its editorials.
This Is good on many accounts, but
especially on sanitary grounds
Owing to the peculiar atmos-
pheric conditions-hot mid. days
and chilly nights.-"summer
complaints" are now prevailing to an
alarming extent. Our physicians say
these troubles are aggravated by weak
mentality and high nervous strains.
Hence the perusal of reading matter
generated in a brain aggravated by
remorse and debilitated by summer
troubles, Is most unwholesome. 1t is
evident that the nervous strain OF
Labor Day was too severe on the Rep,
editor, and his ill-advised attack upon
organized labor was not so much the
result of natural animus, as disordered
condition of his alleged brain fibre In
sympathy with his bowels. Hence 1t is
charitable and generous not to judge
too harshly of his utterances in his
present debilitate0 condition.

TWO VIEWS OF PROTECTION,
(From the Letter of President Harrison, ,

(From the Letter OF President Harrison.)
This tariff law has given employment
to many thousands of American men
and women, and will each year give
employment to increasing thousands.
Its repeal would throw thousands out
OF employment and give work to others
only at reduced wages.
(From an Article by Master workman Powdery.) }
The workman has not been protected
from foreign competition by the Gov
ernment. He has had to fight the battle
for himself through the labor organiza-
tions. Not only has he had to fight
against foreign competition, largely
attracted by our ,delusive tariff laws,
but he has had to wage war with the
employer for share of that protection
which his Government decreed by law
that he should have. Our Government
has enacted protective legislation in the
interest of labor, if we read Congress
