Clubs In Every Precinct. .

The Democratic party and its
friends must meet the forces of cor
ruption and intimidation in poll
tics this year by thorough organi-
zation. A Democratic club or
society should be organized in
every city, town, village, and pre-
cInct in the United States. Dem
ocrats and all who are in sympathy
with the principles set forth in the
Kansas City platform are earnestly
urged to join in the Democratic
clubs, and when none exist, to
assist in organizing them. This
work, in uniting the forces Of law
and liberty into one great system
atized civic army, should be car
ried on onsimultaneously in every part
OF the country, and without delay.
The friends Of the Government,
according to the hitherto unchal-
lenged American theory Of politi-
cal equality everywhere under our
flag, cannot afford to be less zeal
Gus or less active than the advo-
Gates OF an American colonial en-
pire supported by rifles No patri-
otic citizen can ignore the attacks
which are being made upon the
very foundations oil our present
irreproachable form of govern
ment. This year every citizen
should be a politician. Clubs and
societies should at once commun-
icate with the Secretary OF the
National Association Of Demo-
critic Clubs, 1870 Broadway, New
York City, so that the united MEM
Oership may work Systematically |
in defense Of the republic as the |
fathers made it.

How uoDg2

The war in the Philippines has
been going on one year and half.
For eighteen weary months the
best blood ofthe United States has
been drained into a repulsive and
apparently bottomless swamp Of
guerilla fighting that leads to moth
ing, and we have spent on the
wretched job more money than the
Democratic party under Jefferson
and Monroe needed to triple the
area OF the Republic.
When we began war with Spain,
a nation OF eighteen million people,
with a considerable navy, an army
that could call upon a million
trained men, treasury and com
pletely organized government, we
fought her to standstill in three
months and half, and we never
put more than 10000 men in our
fighting line. To suppress ,ooo,-
900 uuorganized ragals, in what
we have never recognized as war,
we are using 5000 men, and after
eighteen months OF fighting we do
not seem much nearer success than
we were in the beginning.
Does this not imply atrocious
mismanagement somewhere7 And
how long is it to be kept up7 Are
the American people prepared to
resign themselves to a perma nent
state OF war in the Philippines, with
a great part OF their resources in
men and money annually devoured
to no purpose2
Our army Of occupation in the
islands is equal to the entire force
that State like New Jersey could
be expected to raise to resist IN
vasion. Practically, therefore, we
have subtracted a State like New
Jersey from the defensive resources
OF the nation, That is what has
been accomplished by imperial
ism, masquerading in the robes OF
expansion.
II we had given the Filipinos a
voice in the management of their
own country there would have
been no war. If we would con-
descend to negotiate with them the
war could be stopped even now.
In dealing with the savage
Moros of the Sulu Islands, with
their polygamy, slavery and mon
archY, we were willing to recog-
nize the local authorities and Gus
toms, and by doing so we obtained
the allegiance Of these terocious
bandits without a blow. Why
should we refuse to do as much for
the civilized and Christian inhabi-
tants ofLuzon2

Bryan at indianapolis.

Mr.. Bryan's great speech accept
ing the Democratic nomination for
the Presidency sweeps all the
minor issues aside, unites the Dem
ocratic party and all who are in
sympathy with it on the supreme
issue OF imperialism, and brings
the Republican party lace to face
with its responsibility for the estab
lishment OF subject colonies under
the American flag.
Not only did Mr.. Bryan declare
that the Republicans would not be
permitted to evade the paramount
issue OF the campaign, but he
CHARGED them with cowaTdice in
attempting to push economic
issues to the front in order to divert
attention from the abandonment

Germans for BRYAN.

The Woygen 9ouynak has for
some time past been printing a
coupon daily, which Germans op-
posed to imperialism and militar-
ism were asked to sign, and also to
record their preference for Presi-
dent on these issues alone.
The result is surprising.
Thousands upon thousands OF
coupons have been returned, in a
majority Of which the signers have
declared that, though they voted
Tor Mckinley in 1896, they would
vote this year for Bryan. because
Of their violent opposition to i'm
perialsm and militarIsm.
The great mass Of the Germans
in Greater New York cherish the
same prejudice, # prejudice /. can
be called, against these policies Of
the present Administration. In
the Fatherland they groaned under
the military yoke; they we're
iorced into a service distastefIl to
them and taxed heavily for its sup.
port. Thus the average German
American can see no good in inn
peralIsm and its natural resultant,
mIlitarism, and he will not vote for
Mckinley and a military estab-
lishment.

our Government by the Mckinley
Administration.
Mr.. BrYan's references to our
ownership OF the Philippines will
be read with ringing ears by every
imperialist in the country. He
makes the issue so plainly para
mount that the Republicans will
be forced to fly from all their lines
OF offence to defend it.
We quote Mr.. Bryan:
at it is said that we have as.
sumed before the world obligations
which make it necessary for US to
permanently maintain a govern
ment in the Philippine Islands, l
reply, first, that the highest obi.
CATION of this nation is to be true
to itself. No obligation to any
particular nation, or to all nations
combined, can require the aban-
donment OF our theory Of govern
ment and the substitution Of doc.
trines against which our whole
national life has been protest"
Is there any Republican logician
who can cleve to the Constitution
and reply truthiullY to this9 Is it
not the bald and naked truth1
Will the Republicans still try to
evade it and do the ghoul act with
a buried issue7
Throughout his speech Mr.,
Bryan hews fairly to the lines OF
his party. He outlines a republic,
resting securely upon the toun-
dation stones quarried by revolu-
tionarY patriots from the noun
tains Of eternal truth, standing
erect while empires are bowed be-
meath the weight of their own
armaments-a republic whose flag
is loved while other flags are only
feared"
Is there political opponent OF
Mr.. Bryan who can read this and
still maintain that his principles
are false and his views narrow
You can read the speech from be-
ginning to end and know Just
where he stands on every point.
He does not pretend that his party
causes the crops to grow, regu-
lates the elements, shapes the cur
rents OF destiny, takes place Of
Providence and owns the earth,
Taken in its entirety, the speech
should form a text pamphlet for
Democratic speakers from now
until voting day. It's purport
should be placed before every
voter in the land. Its denunciation
Of imperialism is clear and con-
vincing.
He makes plain these hard facts.
He shows that the Republican
party Is:
Controlled by the money power.
With England in the war against
the South African Republics.
With imperial ambitions for con.
quest and vast standing army.
Wholly unfriendly to the work
ing classes.
Aristocratic in all principles.
In favor of the wealthy few as
against the poverty stricken many.
In all the speech OF Bryan the
voter will find no hesitation, no un-
certainty, no subserviency to cap
ital, no useless harping on ante
dated issues. He has come to the
forefront with the one ringing issue.
He has struck upon the string OF
imperialism the keynote OF the
campaign.

Republicans Don't Like the Speech

Republicans Don't Like IN espeech
The Republican newspapers
throughout the country are singing
the same song on Bryan's speech.
They are wroth because he did not
talk about something else, They
would like to have had a subject
more ancient upon which they
could base a diversion from the
main issue.
They all shout bad Speech
"dreary speech, " "Prosy speech,
and then turn their backs on truth
and go Yelping off on their usual
financial arguments.

one Of the anti-Bryan papers whose
apprehensions for Mr.. Bryan's fai.-
ure TO make a speech satisfactory
to his political opponents would
be really touching did they SAVIOR
less OF the spider and-Ay incident
But the dominant issue of impe-
rialism has been cut by Bryan to
fit the Republican back. 1t sets
like the paper on the wal. It is
there to stay. The garment be-

The Brewers in the Campaign.

We copy the following from the

The WASHINGTON n SENTINEL asks the
the following pertinent question:
What has become of the United
States Brewers Association? Are they
still in the field? We hope they have
not forgotten the promise made at their
recent convention to conduct campaign
OF education on the war tax question" !"
The campaign Of education is going
on oriskly, with II. Nolan, the national
organizer, as principal schoolmaster.
He is h ere, there aud everywhere teach

educational campaign is costing the
brewers a handsome sum OF money, tor

plan mapped out for Brother Nolan is
as follows: Brewers Of the United States

| Colonel, " the Hon. Jacob Rupert, Jr.'
authoritatively declared at Kansas City
| The brewers do not care to have Bryan
elected, but they long to have a Demo.
cratic House OF Representatives elected.
1t is true, there is a formidable Repub.
lican majority in the Congressional
delegation to overcome, but even a
good inroad made on that majority and
a good reduction OF it--so the brewers
argue-could not tail to make an i'm,

must be in error here. Mr.. Nolan,
we understand, is the national or
ganizer of the Retail Liquor Deal
ers' Association, and iihe is work
ing to any such object he is doing
it for that association and not for
brewers. He has no connection
with the United States Brewers
Association. In fact, at the recent
convention ofthat body at Atlantic
City, when a request was made
that Mr., Nolan should be allowed
to show how the United States
Brewers Associa ion could ad-
vance the aims oil the National
Retail Liquor Dealers organiza-
ton, the request was refused.
The United States Brewers As
sociation have nothing to gain by
electing a Democratic House at
the sacrifice OF Mr.. Bryan. They
want the beer tax repealed and to
get it repealed they must elect the
man who is pledged to such repeal
and who will put an end to the
needless foreign wars which are
the cause Of all the excessive and
ruinous taxes. In this way only
will their taxes be reduced.
The Democrats have entered
upon the task of demolishing inn
perialism in this country as the
only wa" in which these taxes can
be reduced, and have made this
work the principal issue Of this
campaign. They have unequivo-
callY pledged themselves to this
reduction, and they look for the
support OF those who will profit by
their work. No body Of men will
profit more by their success than
those for whom Mr.. Nolan speaks, |
whose representatives then should
lose no time in making il clear |
that they are not engaged in any |
underhand business. There is no |
evading the issue-McKinley and |
a continuance Of v ar taxes; Bryan
and repeal OF those taxes.
It will be recalled that four years
ago a prominent officer OF this
same association was accused Of
bartering his influence for office in
the Interest Of the Republican
party. Il will be we'll for the Ma
tional Democratic Committee to
look into the matter, Republican
money is plentiful and there NAV
be Judas Iscariots around.
