therefore, in defence Of itself as it may be
affected by European Excursions in South
America, to find OUT whether the Land

1t is conceded by observant men
of oil political parties in this country
today, that there exists no reason why the
Republican party may not in November
elect its most representative statesman to
the presidency. Moreover these who have
carefully watched the currents of political
opinion cannot have failed to note the
trend Of public feeling, the widening,
deepening conviction that Thomas B.
Reed is the man.
He is an acknowledged leader of men
and he Is more-an honest, fearless, wise
leader. He is where he is today, because
of his abilities, his integrity, his dominat-
ing personality. Not wealth, nor truck
ling, nor attempt to gain popularity, nor
combinations, nor sheer luck have any
part in his success He has never lowered
his standard; he has never turned aside
because of difficulties, but made them his
stepping stones; he has done what he had
to do and has done it well; be has sue
ceeded, and his countrymcn realize that
1t was because he ought and had thu
strength to succeed.
Such a man those in the ranks naturally
look to as commander and are proud Tn
support. Why so many Republicans in
states, which have favorite Sons
who would make good presidents. are At
heart for Mr. Reed was well expressed
by an eminent Democratic editor;
'The plain truth is that Reed, at present
through the sheer force of mis- abilities. is
the dominating personality of the Re
publican party" But Mr. Reed repre-
sents principle as well as success. In
short he stands for Republlcanism at its
best.
His candidacy can in no way excite sec
tlonal prejudices, although he is a son Of
the extreme East. New England. with
one-tenth of the Republican voters of the
country and with no Republican President
70 her credit, despite her many dis
tlngulshed sons, surely has a right to de-
mand recognition of the convention at St
Louis. But Mr.. Reeds Republicanism
knows no East nor West. His sn,end;d
record belongs to the whole country and
the strongest claim that New England can
advance is: ave want the best President
and we have the best candidate
But we do not believe it will be neces .
sary to make even such assertion. The
signs are multiplying all over the country
that the hearts of Republicans are turn
ing to Mr.. Reed. The people want to f,l.
low his leadership. And what a sunerh
leader he will be- The man who never
courted popularity would be the most
popular candidate that could be named

Our government cannot interfere to pre-

the righteous indignation of the American
