surplus revenues of the road, largely
from those of the Montana Central

PROMINENT GERMAN
QUITS REPUBLICANS
Or. |. w. Aabercorn Says Menace
of Imperialism CompeIs Him
to Join Democrats.
HAS NO FEAR OF SIXTEEN TO ONE
Has Been Manager Of the German
H"reau of National Republican
Committee for Ycars---Sis-
ntficant Detection.

Washington, July 17.-Dr. L. w.
Habercorn, who was heretofore con-
nected with the republican national
and congressional committees us man
ager of their German bureau, has re-
signed therefron, realizing that he
cannot support the administration in
it's policy of Imperialism and militar-
ism. In explanation of this action
and the reason thereof he says i'll sub
stance that he left the republican con
gressional committee because he could
not defend and promote it's expansion
and foreign policies. He says:
Expansion of the union on the
American continent is proper. lLN-
spansion, not of the union, but by the
4aacq uisition of possessions which arc
ITO be governed as dependencies, sub
ject only to the will mad caprice OF
our executive and congress, unrc-
stricted by the constitution and with
out the consent and against the wish
es of the people to be governed, who
thereby become our subjects, is in my
opinion improper, unjust and rnrc-
publican; the government of thu
United States is thereby transformed
into an imperial government for our
possessions.
"a government with imperial pow
ers over possessions cannot long re-
main republican at home. AS the
government could not have lived half
slave and half free, so it cannot live
half imperial and half republican.
1.-The republican party now stands
for imperialistic expansion and is al.
ready busy cultivating the spirit OF
1nilitarism. The democratic party has
earnestly, clearly and forcibly pro.
nounced against Imperialism. with its
resultant evils, and for the preserva.
ton of the republic and the constitu.
ton. The issue is thus made up, and
I consider it my plain duty to helr
maintain the republic by such efforts
as l can make, humble though they
are.
''As for 16 to !, that has no moro
terrors for Inc. We have the authority
of the republican leaders and the re.
publican party that the senate will
safeguard our present monetary sys-
TEN, at least. till March 3, 1905. With
these assurances before me. not tic
mention others, j am astounded at the
frantic Efforts now being made by
the management of the republican
press and, last but not least, by the
republican president in his speech OF
acceptance to brighten the American
people with in issue that is not a live
one in hope of obscuring the greatest
of all issues put before the people
since 1895.
81 shall say nothing of the issues OF
trusts, of which the president has not
deigned to speak a single word in his
speech of acceptance. so rich in the
glowing picture Of the great happi-
ness of the American people unde,
present republican rule.
These reasons for my support OF
the democratic ticket in what | con.
slider the most serious crisis that has
ever threatened the life of the repulo.
) lie will. / trust be understood and APP
preciated by my friends"
