the Democratic newspapers are declaring that the
Vermont and Maine elections indicate the election

not seem TO have appealed to the public mind with
positively crushing force. However 1t is a fact
that Maine and Vermont, though doing nobly, have
not quite equalIed their record in 1898. This fact

William C. De Witt. in interview the issues

day saying;
1 expansionist. I believe in expansion for
commercial reasons. Trade with the East the
financial making of all the ancient nations. At
first it was trade with India only and some of the
adjacent islands. Later Japan and China became
big factors, and now. when the United States is
in position practically monopolize, or. if not
that, to control great part OF the Eastern com
merce. the Democratic party throws up its hands
and protests.
Consider the advantage which this country has
over others In the first place our Pacific Coast is
about three thousand miles nearer to the Eastern
trading centre than any of the European nations.
We have besides. a half way station in the Ha-
waiian Islands and in the Philippines what has
rightly been termed the doorway Of the East. Thus
equipped, the United States IS second to other
country in its ability TO carry on a successful
trade with China and Japan, and yet, though all
historical precedent Is in favor OF extended COM
