!. II. WALTERS ON EXPANSION
[Keokuk Gate City,
The Des Moines Register in It's issut
of'last Sunday printed a letter on the
subject OF expansion from the pen Of
4 4 Mr. ar. !. NJ. Walters, Of this city. Mr.
waters Htl Is a life long democrat, but the
/ political organization known by tina,
appeilation has. under populistic lead.
4 srship. wandered far from true demo.
# cratic principles and Mr.. Walters. lik.
many other intelligent and conscien.
\ tious men who put principles and vel.
rare OF the country above party name
4 sls forced into an attitude of hDstilit,
i toslt and Its purposes. Mr.. Walters. II
4 common with many others, stands 70.
day where he has stood all his llfe--ir
\ favor OF z sound currency at all time.
& and extension Of the nations domain
whenever added possessions would bs
OF benefit TO the country. The so-caliec
democratic or Bryanite party is in di-
rect opposition to these things, hence
his opposition to the party bearing the
) name ~ the organization with which he
was formerly identified
The objections to acquisition Of the
philippines are calmly and judicially
considered in the letter In question and
3 snectually disposed OF by citation OF
! pertinent well known facts. Mr.. Wal
Z ters shows very conclusively that ex.
pansion has been the policy OF thi,
country from the beginning, under the
administration Of all parties and that
recent additions OF territory are entire.
" logical. Previous expansions which
have contributed so largely to oul
4 growth, national greatness and pros.
pertty were assailed every whit az bit.
ferly and vituperously az the present
q Those who then INDUCED in malignant
abuse, coarse epitheta and undeserved
Impressions succeeded only In betray-
Ing their own ignorance, iittleness and
unw0rthiness, Just as the anti -impet.
ialists OF the present time are doing.
