NOTES OF THE CAMPAIGN.

-
The ARti-ImpcrinIist Note.-In at
tempting to reiucu to arithmetical terms
! the strength and value of the vote that is
to be changed froh Mckinley TO fryi:n on
| the issue of IMPERIALISM the political man
ayers are discovering that the task is more
| difficult than was at first supposed because
| Of the character of the people to whom
this question especially appeals. Ii is be
| ginning to appear, evident that the word
Imperialism" in its application to Amer
| lean institutions and policies is so new and
| novel TO the mass of the people that it is
| only the more intelligent and thoughtful
classes that readily grasp the full import
| of the actual dangers described by the
word. 1t is contended by some of the most
active of the persons identified with the
anti-imperialist propaganda that the idea
is little too subtle for the average mind
to seize upon and digest in so brief a cam
paign and that therefore the work from
this time forward should be directed to-
ward plane of higher intelligence than
that occupied by the masses. In point of
fact, it is stated that the membership of
the clubs all over the country being organ
lied by the National Anti-Imperialist
League whose headquarters are in New
York, is made up almost wholly OF voters
who ordinarily are not conspicuous in the
politics of their communities-quiet
thoughtful, studious men. who heretofore
have not Joined in any political movement.
As each member is pledged by the articles
he signs to vote against Mr.. Mckinley, the
effect is to pledge them to vote for Mr.
Bryan in view of the ciTcums lance that
the anti imperialists refused by formal
vote at their national convention to nomi-
nate ticket and by the same vote en-
dorsed Bryan and Stevenson. The state
mentS here made are based upon an in
sight into the anti-imperialist movement
given to a Times representative in New
York the other day by Mr.. C. C. Hughes
Secretary of the National Anti Imperialist
League. Mr.. Hughes has general direction
Of the work of organization and declares
that in Greater New York alone he is con-
fident there will be embraced in the mem
bership OF the league fully 100, 600 voters
he believes that so per cent of these will
be men who voted for Mckinley four years
ago. though by the last OF October he ex-
poets to have definite information upon
this point of vital Importance through
political poll of the entire membership.
which he viii begin to make about October
10 III Mr. Hughes expectations are only
partially realized it is evident that the
antl-1mperialist movement will bring to
Mr.. Bryan's support in the close States a
vote which doubtless could not be reached
through any other means. and will uu-
doubtedly be sufficiently heavy to turn the
scales on election day in favor of the Dem
ocrats.
