Goo.l Thing.
Pittsburg Post.
A large number of Hebrews in Pitts
burg have been considerably startled
during the past day or two over the
sudden change of front of the Jewish
Daily News of New York, one of the
most influential papers published in
the interest of the Hebrew race in the
country. Up to last Friday this pa
per had been staunch supporter of
the Republican administration. On
that night occurred the great banquet
in New York, in honor of Governor
Theodore Roosevelt, and among the
speakers was Senator n. B. Scott, Of
West Virginia His address at the
banquet covered the Republican atti-
tude of the Republican party on
trusts, and his declaration that the
trusts were a good thing and should
be upheld, set the editor on the Jew
ish Daily News" to thinking. The re-
suit was that on Saturday, the paper
came out with a conspicuous leading
article in which an apology was made
to its readers for the support that had
been given Mckinley, and stating that
the open declaration of the party
leaders that truss are a good thing
had forced him to advise that all Jew
ish young men to vote the Democrat
ic ticket with William Jennings
Bryan at tue head The evils of the
trusts were too we'll known in New
York, he said, to need any eXploita-
ton.
Going into the matter carefully and
dispassiona1ely, the editor points out
that in the days prior to the organi-
cation of the trusts. young men often
had opportunities to save a little
money and start into some business
for themselves. Now they are barred
from this and must remain dependent
on others for livelihood all their
lives. The Republican party had sig
nified it's intention of doing nothing
to check this great evil, and while
the editor said he believed that the
war policy of the Mckinley admins
tration was good, the other features
of the Republican policy were so
strongly inlmical to the welfare of the
people and especially TO the members
of the Hebrew race, that it was to the
interests of the people that the Demo-
Gratis be placed in power again. The
vast majority of the Hebrews in,
America are small merchants, he said.
and these trades people are, according
to the policy of the trusts TO be push
ed to the wall, in order that the gigan-
tic monopolieS can live. 1t is a mat
ter of self-preservation, then, that the
voting population of the Hebrew race
turn to the Democrats who are openly
opposed to the danger that threatens
the greater number of their people.
The wide influence OF the Jewish
Daily News" is we'll known, and it is
freely predicted here that the change
in it's attitude even at this late day,
will bring fully 10000 votes into the
Democratic column on election day on
the east side Of New York alone.
Pittsburg Hebrews say that the same
paper will be certain to WELD pow.
erful influence in this State also.
With regard to the papers change
in politics a Pittsburg Hebrew said
las. night: There is no doubt that
hundreds of Hebrew voters in this
city will be Influenced By The change.
The Jewish Daily News is the most
influential Jewish chronicle in Amer
ic;s and it is read in nearly every
jewish home IN this city, In the edi-
torial which announces tae change Of
the papers policy the reasons set
icrth are convincing and our people
WI be guided by the opinions of
those who are thoroughly familiar
with the situation. l have talked TO
quite a number of my friends who
were formerly Republicans and find
that they are already beginning to
take a different view of the question.
There are at least 10000 Jewish vot-
ers in Pittsburg and Allegheny and |
am willing to wager that more than
half of them will vote the Democratic
ticket on November g.
