The st. Paul Daily Globe, which since
its establishment has been the recog-
nized organ of the Democratic party in
this state, has published its refusal to
support the nominees Of the national
Democratic convention and given it's
reasons for such refusal. On July Z,
following the nomination Of Bryan and
the adoption of the Kansas City plat
form, the Globe published the following
triple-leaded EDITORIAL @
A CRIME REPEATED.
The st. Paul Globe In now, has al
ways been. and will remain, q Dem
promised Its convictions ON ques-
tons for large public or party con-
Germ. and never intends to do So.
Four years ago. under conditions
substantially Identical with those
now in existence. the Globe refused
to extend it's advocacy to what 1T
then regarded a. a false and per-
tional convention of its party had
adopted that principle and en-
bodied 1T In its national platfOrm3
and with 1T as the chief claim of the
party to the confederation of the
voting population sought popular
sustainment The defeat which en-
sued was SO decisive as to convince
all but a few radical and irrespons-
ible party adherents that the, free
coinage of silver mt a ratio of 10 to
I could never receive the indOFse-
ment of the American people. -
A lapse of four years nnds the
Democracy of the country con-

proved Its undOinE in 1895. How
does 1T meet the emergency By
once more embracing the danger
and adopting the folly and false
hood under the burden of which 1T
had been brought to the borders of
The Globe stands to-day where 1T
stood four years ago. 1t 10 now, as
1t was then. ,opposed to the free
coinage idea. 1t gave expression 10
its opposition then, right principle
and fair dealing with its party as
sOciates and with the country de-
mand that 1T give expression to 1T
now. There IL less, If possible, to
Justify compromise or confinement
now than there was then. The party
went blindly to Its fate then, 1T goes
now Open-eyed. and because of Its
domination by one man. - ~
A body claiming to be deliberative
without protest. to coercion into the
pursuit of a policy which has al
ready proven fatal, and which In
openly repudiated by the intelli-
gence and enlightenment Of the
country, presents to the Globe no
valid claim to having It's DEGREES
respected, even though 1T purpOrts
to give voice to the convictions Of
the Democracy. - e ..
1t lies in the mouth of NO Demo-
crnt who accepts the dictation
which forced the 16 to 1 folly into
his national platform to say augkt
against the accepted control of the
Republican national convention by
Senator Hanna of Ohio. That con-
troll ut least led in directions which
pointed toward possible success.
The control of william j. Bryan,
which. under threat of withdrawal,
forced the free silver falsehOod
down the throat of the Kansas City
convention. points to a pathway al
ready travelled over In the journey
to Democratic defeat and disaster.
This pathway the Globe refuses to
follow. 1t refuses to support the
candidates of a convention which
seeks through cOwardly evasion to
win the support of those whom it
feared to openly challenge. What
does 1T matter whether the frenzy
of free coinage finds expression in
the first or in the last paragraph of
the Kansas City platforms 1T Is
there. The party stands committed
to its embodiment in the financial
policy of the nation. If 1T was q
false and dangerous doctrine to as
sert in 1906. when the national
finances and the business 1nteFests
of the country were comparatively
unsettled, 1T Is 4 hundred tim es
more so to-day, when the country
has adjusted itself to conditions
which have forced silver from all
recognized position ,as = monetary
metal. tsG !. 20 -. - "a. s.,
1T Is necessarily at great sacrifice
of individual preference, as we'll az
of selfish business interest, that the
Globe is forced to assume this atte
tude toward the DEGREES and the
candidates of the national conven
ton of its party. But there does
not appear to be any other course
left open to responsible public

the PRONUNCIATION and sustainment
of the political and economic philos.
