Mr.. Hearst of the New York Journal
has set about the task of converting
his party to the expansion theory, and
scarcely a day passes without lecture
delivered through the columns of his
paper. Last Thursday he said:
From the time when Jefferson turned
the United States into a continental
power until the disruption of the DEM
Ocrattc organization in 1860, the party
That Jefferson found always stood con-
siStently for national progress. 1t never
missed a chance Of advancing the flag
1t bought Louisiana and Florida, an
nexed Texas, conquered California and
the great plateau region of the south
west, occupied Oregon and Washing
ton, tried to secure British Columbia
and made overtures for the purchase Of
Cuba.
The result was that the people stood
by the Democracy as they have stood
by no other party in this or any other
country during the present century. In
90 years the Democratic party lost only
two presidential elections. Jefferson
who bad beaten Adams in 1900 by only
eight electoral votes out of 49, received
1852 votes at the next election, against
IA for the Federalist opponent.
But for Democratic quarrelS and the
folly of secession, the party might have
remained in power to this day 1t was
still largely in the majority when Lin
coin was elected.
When the Democratic party was ma
tional il was popular and powerful.
When 1t became unnationa1 it wandered
IN the wilderness. 1t will continue to
wander there until it has thrown off the
evil habits of thought engendered by a
generation of opposition ard has learn
