under acts Of Congress as a district outside the
United States Of the Constitution. and its peo-

rights guaranteed by the Constitution.
THE CASE OF FLORIDA
The Democratic party from the beginning of
the century was devoted to the acquisition OF
Florida and finally. when under President Men
roe that aim was accomplished in 1919, the
native Spanish speaking people were not con-
suited Andrew Jackson, another Democratic
saint, sent TO govern Florida with the
powers Of a Spanish captain general, and exer-
cised them to the full. denying to the inhab-
itants the writ of habeas corpus and asserting
that the Constitution did not restrain him. In
this he was supported by an Administration OF
eminent Democrats, including John c. Calhoun.

the Northwest by the interests OF slavery in

Texas belonged to Mexico, but Americans
rushed into it, exploited" it, grabbed it, and
then, with the aid Of the Democratic party,
brought the grabbed territory into the Union.
MORE LAND GRABBING"
Then the Democrats forced Mexico,
and without the consent Of the governed. -

and compelled their people TO live under an
alien government and strange system OF laws.
II civilized them at the point Of the bayonet.
The party that robbed and oppressed the Mis-

qualified to shed tears in apprehension lest
Porto Rico and the Philippines be "exploited''

A little later the Democrats wanted more ter
ritory, they brought pressure to bear on
Mexico and took few million more with
out the consent of the governed in what has
since been known the Gadsden Purchase.
Finally, in 1860, both the Douglas and Breck-

leaders years before discouraged all attempts

DEMOCRATIC EXPANSION.

ACQUISITION OF TERRITORY

When Democrats criticise the present ten
dency to expansion and talk about the consent
OF the governed" they have to turn their backs
on the map Of the United States and the his
tory Of their own party. Both map and history
testify 10 the settled habit of the Democratic
party under all it's great leaders to grab terri

ander Mckenzie. the deputy auditor of The

tendent of the bathing beach. and Mr.. Dut-
ton was made the chairman of the COM
mittee.
The committee decided to hold the con-
tests Saturday the 18th instant the first
event to be called at o'clock pm. The

follows. the winner Of each event to receive

Yesterdays experience was a heart
breaker for Twirler Pittinger. He held the

game. as the men back of him failed to field
