JUSTICE As the campaign advances
WILL Bryan's election seems more
PREVAIL. certain and the republicans
are less and less sure of Mckinley. The
liberty congress held at Indianapolis al
most unanimously endorsed Bryan, and
many men prominent in the republican
party heretofore and who will have a
great influence in the east, have come
out unqualifiedly for Bryan. These men
are not disappointed politicians or office
seekers, but are men who heretofore
have been regarded as among the most
respectable members of the republican
party, and who are supporting Bryan be-
cause they believe in maintaining the
principles of the Declaration of indie
pendence, and are opposed to a policy
that will destroy government of the
people and substitute therefor an en-
pire.
The republicans who refuse to support
Mckinley in this crisis are men who put
principle above party, men who believe
in the theory of our government and
who believe that Eternal vigilance is
the price of liberty
The anti-imperialists have formed
leagues in many of the eastern states,
and their influence is bound to be felt in
the election.
Bryan will carry Kentucky, Maryland
and Indiana, that he did not carry be-
fore, while New York, West Virginia,
Michigan and Illinois are bound to con-
tribute electoral votes enough between
them, Bryan being certain to carry at
least two of them, to make Mckinley S
defeat certain.
The travelling men who were almost
unanimously for Mckinley four years
ago, are this year almost as unanimously
for Bryan and are freely predicting his
election.
Betting, while not certain sign, is
favoring Bryan, and any republican
money that can be found is Immediately
taken by those who believe Bryan has
the better of it,
McKinley's defeat is necessary, and
will be the best possible thing that can
happen. Its immediate effect will be tc
teach cuckoo politicians that when an
administration goes wrong, Americans
want backbone rather than surrender
to foreign ideas of government and that
after all our theory of government is {;
reality to be preserved and to which we
as we'll as our fathers, will, if necessary
devote our lives, our fortunes and oul
sacred honor.
The ultimate effect of Mckinley.
defeat will be to prevent recurrence o
Imperialism for the next hundred years
for it will be made so plain to all people
that mean to uphold the constitution
and preserve tho government of the PEG
pie that those even so disposed will fin,
it impolitic hereafter to attempt to faster
similar system upon our people. VIII
do we desire to initiate Englands sys
tenn? We repudiated it in 1776 and dc
nounced it to the world and establishe,
a government on this side of the cart
devoted to, created for and to be con
trolled by the people. Here the oppresse
OF every country have found freedom
from tyranny and future for their child
rem where the accident of birth does nc
govern nor monarchs capricious favo
affect them.
Here patriotism has found HON
where every man is free man and ever
mans home is his castle. That any ma
was given by God a divine right to rul
his fellow-man is principle we repud
ated and we put into practice the the
ory that as the people constitute tn
government they have right to choos
their rulers.
We repudiated the bauble of It'll
which in the old world makes one by tn
accident of birth to be superior to hi
