Independence For Cuba.

Secretary Root, in discussing the COM
ing constitutional convention in Cuba, eX-
pressed himself quite positively on the
question of annexation. In reply to a
question, he said that the subject of an
nexation or any other subject for that
matter, might be brought up before the
convention, but that in his own opinion.
Cuban annexation, if it came at all. was
not imminent just now. Said he, ''Under
the congressional declaration, we are in
honor bound to give them independence
first. If, subsequently, they wish annexa-
ton, that is matter for them to decide"

Plain as Two aud Two.

Mr.. Bryan's proposition that every
man who thinks he is prosperous
should vote the Republican ticket, and
Democratic ticket, has been followed
by his equally clear and positive state
ment about the FilipinOs. Their rights,
like the rights of the Cuban people,
existed before we undertook to recOg-
nize or defend them. Consequently
their right to independence has not
been in the least altered or diminished
by our Interference. The fact that they
have fought for it does not Justify our
conquest Of them. If they had Il right
to fight for their independence before,
they have right to secure it by fight
ing for it now. 1t is no more humiliat-
ing for a nation than for an individual
to recognize nations rights.
If We had treated the Cubans as we
have treated the FilipinOs we would
have had the same trouble. And Mr..
Bryan might have added. unless we are
careful about interfering too much we
will have the same trouble in Cuba. IL
we had treated the Filipinos as we
treated the Cubans. we would have
had no trouble in the Philippine ISL
ands. Ii we intend to give the Filipi-
nos their Independence, we can avoid
further trouble by saying SO.
AS matter Of fact, the Republican
bosses have no more intention of Civ
ing the FilipinOs their independence
than they have the Porto Ricans. In
fact, they say so. For that is what
they mean when they say 1.-The flag
shall never he hauled down." They
mean to carry out Il scheme of military
conquest. and its necessary despOtism.
The question before the country is
whether this republic shall be convert
ed into n despotism in Asia while pre-
tending to be 4 republic in America.

What Imperial,sm Means,

Some of you laugh to scOrn the idea
of blOodshed as the result Of secession,
and jOcularly propose to drink all the
blood that will ever flow in cOnse-
quence OF it. But let me tell you what
is coming on the heels Of secession. The
time will come when your fathers and
husbands, your sons and brothers, will
be herded together like sheep and cattle
ut the point Of the bayOnet, and your
mothers and wives, and sisters and
daughters will ask, Where are they 2
and echo will answer, 'Where?"
Such was the prophetic utterance Of
General Sam Houston, the hero of San
JacintO, and then Governor of Texas,
to q secession meeting at Galveston,
while Texas was still in the Union. II
is well worth recalling at this time by
those who would belittle the dangers
of imperialism, and who do not per-
ceive that the result of that policy
would be to turn the United States into
camp of conscripts, and TO bring
mourning into countless homes for hus-
bands and SONS, fathers and brothers,
sacrificed in distant lands to the MOloch
of empire. Already, it is reported from
Washington, the Federal Government
is inquiring about the militia of the va
rious States, with the view Of raising
an army for Asia, and this upon an
understanding with other powers, and

making authority is vested by the Con

Quincy Adams made Andrew Jackson
taste the bitterness of defeat. Four
years later "Old Hickory" larded the
lean earth with Adams. Martin Van

son. Waiting his four years, Harrison
defeated Van Buren, and left him
easily ut the start. Benjamin Harrison

years ago William Jennings Bryan was
defeated by William Mckinley. This
year they will face each other again.

BRYAN AND STEVENSON.

Strong candidates, truly Democratic
candidates, distinctly American candi-
dates. Both represent the best class in
American life. Each successful, able,
simple in life, free from the modern
taints Of plutOcracy and privilege. Mr..
Bryan has received the votes of more
than six millions of his fellow citizens.
Mr.. Stevenson has been elected Vice
President of the United States. He is
a typical citizen of Illinois, a Democrat
Of the Old-fashiOned kind. His brand
of Democracy goes back to the days of
Thurman and Tilden. He is man re-
spected throughout the country. His
name is one to lend dignity and conf
dence to any campaign with which it Is
associated. These two men, as all must
admit, are thoroughly admirable types
Of the successful. honest, capable
American. No man would hesitate to
select either us executor of his will or
for any other position of trust.
II you decide to vote for them, you
will put in office simple, able American
citizens like yourselves. Their interests
are the same as yours. They have no
affiliations except with the people, and
no interests outside the public interest
If you feel that a nation needs Il swash-
buckler as President of the Senate,
you will not vote for Mr.. Stevenson. of
course. But if you feel that "a dignified
and hOnOred citizen of this State, ma
ture in years and thought. is fit to pre-
side over the highest legislative body in
the world, You vii! vote for him. Bryan
and Stevenson represent the people,
simply. They represent those who work
for a living, in commerce, on farms, rs
mechanics or by daily tOif. They repre-
sent those whose prosperity depends on
the prosperity of the many-storekeep-
er, big and little, the lawyer, the mer-
chant trying to build up his own bust
ness. They truly represent all Ameri-
can interests except such trust and
corporate interests as are interested in
getting more than their share through
perversiOn or evasion of the laws.
OF all the powerful combinations of
capital which threaten American iuSti-
tutions to-day, not one favors the elec-
ton of Bryan and Stevenson. OF all
the men interested in class Legislation,
in monopoly Of national wealth, every
one favors the election of those opposed
to Bryan and Stevenson. Every one
will work and contribute money TO the
election of Mckinley and Roosevelt.
You know that this is true. You know
that the Standard Oil monopoly hopes
