THE ISSUE THIS YEAR
CHAIRMAN RICHARDSON SAYS THAT
IT'S THE ADMINISTRATIONS RECORD
Declares That the Policy of Holding
Dependencies is the Pressing
Question Before the People.

Are the republicans afraid to face the
record of their administration? Is that
why they are so earnestly and eagerly in
slsting that Imperialism cannot be the para
mount issue in the campaign"
Representative Richardson, chairman of
the democratic congressional committee
asked these questions by way of response
to suggestions from republican sources that
sixteen to one would be the main issue of
the campaign
The democratic party he continued
has not repudiated any of its principles
1t has no secret, concealed motives and no
record or declaration which 1t is ashamed
of. The platform was written to be read
and to be understood as representing the
position of the party There is no secret
and unworthy interests behind 1t to be pro-
tected. screened and fostered.
After four years of administration Mr..
Mckinley is appealing to the people for
reelection. On what must be based his
claim for the peoples support If not upon
the record of his adminstrat ton and of his
party during his term in office and the pol
ic'es they have fnaugurated? If that record
IS pad and the policies dangerous the cam
didate cannot escape by belittling the issue
he has made.
Record of the Administration.
This administration has made a radical
departure from the e-honored principles
OF the government-liberty. equality and
justice-and has inaugurated a policy of
colonial possession is to be governed as
dependencies outside the spirit and pro-
visions of the Constitution. 1t has involved
the government in foreign entangementS,
repudlated the doctrines which are the
basis OF our institutions and entered upon
a scheme of Imperialism. All this may be
read in the record Of the administrati ton
and that record must be the paramount

whether they want 20 retain the republican
party in power. Allied to this IS the. course
of the republican party in fostering trusts
and turning the control of the currency of
the country over to the banks, out of the
hands of the government itself.
Recognition Of the ISSUE
Il am not surprised that the administra-
ton wants to keep its record and policies
in the background as much possible in
this campaign. but | am astonished that il
should be foolish enough to think that ii
ism the most pressing question before the
people. The whole country recognized this
The declaration of the Kansas City plat
form that Ii is the paramount issue is the

and the acceptance by the democratic party
of that as the issue on which it is willing
TO make the fight. The republicans need
not st this late date try to flee from their
record. They will be held to it, Our party
declared its readiness to place the preSer-
walton of our institutions above any ques-
ton of fiscal policy arising under the Con-
stitution."
