Notes of the Campaign


 dent Mckinley this fall. There is in my iudgmcnt such
 thing as imperialism, and such thing as ant-imperial ism The imperalist says the Philippine islands The anti-imperalists say the Philippine islands belong to the Philippine people The mperialist says he will estab-
 fish for them the best government he thinks they are lit for The anti-mperass say they have right to estab- fish for themselves such government as they think good and fit for themselves.
 It is thoroughly mmanly and un-Amcrican to take to the woods Either President Mckinley or Mr. Bryan will be chosen Voting for third party, under the crcun- stances better than not to vote at all on may as we'll leave your with the officer as to leave it with the election officer unless vote for one or the oth- of these
 Now President Mckinley made the treaty, and MT. Brvan when its defeat assured came to Washington and saved it. These two great political leaders, between whom take your chOice equally responsible for everything that has happened far When the treaty became the law of the land, the public faith pledged pay S20,00000O for sovereignty over the Philippine islands and that congress and not the people should dis pose them hereafter It became the constitutional duty of the president, until congress should act declare oth- erwise reduce them to order and submission. The su- peme court of the United States held long ago. The only difference up this point between President McKn ley and Mr. Bryan is that President Mckinley believed he doing right, belonged to party which had always becn he himself had been, the champion of political liberty the past and right all of the other ques tions that at stake in the coming election and is fit to be trusted with all questions that shall arise. On the other hand, MT. Bryan thought the whole transaction wrong makes thin and frivolous for his duct and the party with whom he acts; and the who surround him and will surround him his counseors who have been the opponents of righteousness equal ty and civil liberty always in the past wrong all the other great questions that at stake the present eec tion, and not in my judgment to be trusted with questions however important vita that to up in the future.
 say to the lover of liberty, say to the anti-imperi- aist say to the man who thinks the republican party has made great and grevous mistake, you cannot look for the correction of that mistake to candidate party who, whatever they think of the principles applied the Philippine islands, apply those principles in their worst form to citizens of the United States.
 In the matter of imperialism there has beer little practical difference between President Mckinley and Mir Bryan in the past There will be little practical differ ence a the future Mr. Bryan does not promise to his power executive and comaner-n- chief ill call ing troops from the Philippines He only promises to call congress together He knows very well he cannot command the strength of his party undo the mischief which of his own followers in the sen- ae at his instance wrought when they ratified the treaty-Messrs McEnery McLaurn, Morgan Pettus, Su- ivan Alien Butler Harris, Teller, Kyle and Jones of Nevada)-have not changed their minds Possibly Mr. Clay of Georgia and Mr. Kennedy of Delaware among his associates, have done It is hopeless if the dem oeras get tie or even majority in the senate expect them to accomplish anything in behalf of the ndepend- ence of the Philippine islands.
 In 1896 you regarded Mr. Bryans campaign as "pas- sonate crusade of dshonor You said its success would bring with not only diversity but disgrace Would it's not bring disgrace now? Mr. Bryan said at To- peka that if he elected the free coinage of silver should be accomplished before another presidential eec ton. Secretary Gage says he lawfully accomplish it by executive power alone Whether Mr. Gage be right in his construction of the powers of the president under isting law will not undertake to say But will under take say that Mr. Bryan will not hesta1e that power if he has the great authority of Mr. Gage for its lawfulness do ,io believe the who promoted the ratification of the Spanish treaty business in this matter of the Philippine islands But do believe he means business in the matter of the free coinage of sver in the matter of free trade and in his purpose struct the supreme court He bad business He business which will overthrow prosperity and en- barass manufactures which will reduce wages and destroy cred which will debauch the currency and render the standard of value uncertain: which will impair the obga- ton of contracts and the value of savings; which will hurt credit and break faith All this you believe as do. ou said in 1896. You have been confirmed in your opinion by everything that has happened since Will you support candidate who if he have his way you admit will accomplish all these things because he and his party give you empty promise of justice 10000 900 As acs and at the same time threaten grevou injustice and wrong to 10,000,000 Americans?
 will not vote for candidate for the presdency or help to bring party into power who while they plant heel the forehead of Booker Washington and the other the forehead of Robert Small wave the flag over Aguin aldo and Mabini GEORGE F. HOAR
