The Issues PRESENTED with Great Force.
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1900-11-01

But, my friends, let me speak for mo-
ment Of this new policy that is made the
excuse for a large army What is it We
call it imperialism. Republicans call it
expansion 1t is not expansion. Jefferson
was an expansionist, but never an imperial
list. Jefferson took in land; the Republic
cans want to take in people. Jefferson
took in land that could be built into States,
and we made ten great States out Of the
Louisiana purchase. But the Republicans
do not expect to make any States out OF the
Philippine Islands Jefferson carried the
Constitution with the flag, and when the
flag floated over man the Constitution
was round about him, as it should be.
Republicans say that they are IN favor Of
expansion. We are in favor Of expansion
when expansion takes in land that can bs
settled by the American citizen and bull
into American States WefayoF expansion
when expansion takes a people who wan
to come in aud whom we want, hut expan
sion is like marriage il ought 70 be salts

planning of the poor service that the

has been general dissatisfaction and un-
easiness over the poor lighting. The
