Hon. Y. >. Thomas comes out for
the endorsement Of Teller as his
own successor ia the senate. In an
open letter be says:
To my mind. therefore. the ex-
pedieney Of Senator Teller's en-
dorsement resolves itself into these
questions. Does 1t eonduce to D-m-
oeratic success, and does a decided
majority of the party desire its 1t
is nv deliberate conviction that both
Of them must be- answered afiirma-
tive and, SO believing, my duty is
PLAN and shall endeavor to perform
IT.
The campaign Of 1902 must be
waged between the democratic and
republican parties. For the first
time since 1890 they meet each other
squarely. The only and that other
organizations can give to either will
be adventitioas, for the DAYS Of flu
sion confusion are happily ended
Democracy will no longer lend itself
to the uplifting of officials alien TO
its ranks aud thereby offer pre-
mium to the permanence of other
parties, bat will stand or fall alone
To what extent ats voting strength
may be shown by this course time
alone can tell. 1t Is safe to assume
however, that a straight ticket means
the loss OF some support.
Does a majority of our party de-
sire TO extend the term of Senator
Teller's public service? | have put
this question to democrats in almost
every county of the state and the
great majority of the replies are af-
tirmatlye. Not only so. but | am
assured that he is the choice of the
people without regard to party lines.
The statement Is frequently made
Mr. Teller Is not democrat, and
that we should return a democrat to
the senate. The necessity of this
course has not always been apparent
in the past, but the objection, good
or bad, is easily met. Mr.. Teller is
democrat. His term of party al
legiance does not reach to his cradle.
and in times past We have fought
him for supremacy. But from the
hour that he turned his back upon
the St. Louis convention he has been
in all things democrat. What
principle Of our party faith has he
failed to recognize? What line of
party policy has he not expoused or
defended? Who Of all his colleagues
in the senate has done battle more
ably or constantly for democracy
than he? And who today If not
Senator Teller leads our party minor
ity in that exalted chamber?
In '96 Senator Teller desired to iden-
tIfy himself directly with the demo-
cticra part y and SO Informed the chair
man Of the national committee whom
conjunction with other party leaders,
dissuaded him from his purpose.
They believed he could best serve the
cause of bimetallism by independent
corporation and urged him to remain
for the time aloof. This he did.
shall we now reproach him for
adopting the counsel of our own
people and punish him for deliber-
ately formulated policy? Rather
should We welcome him the more
warmly. and place our standard in
his hands where it will never know
defeat.

THE PRksiRkNI's TEusT POLICy

Denver Post
President Roosevelt has completed
his first Swing around the circle, -
and the people are about as wise as
before the tour began.
They have been entertained with
some very fair suggestions, slightly
elaborated as compared with former
presidential utterances.
But they have been many modi-
flying phrases.
There has also been a maze of
more or less confusing generalit,es.
The insult has been to leave the
main issue-the regulation of the
trusts-qulte as puzzlingly obscure.
SO far as the administration policy is
concerned, as 1t has ever been.
1t cannot be denied that these
facts are unfortunate.
1t is certainly to be regretted thai
President Roosevelt has not seen fit
to remove all doubt.
The subject and the occasion call
for absolute candor.
The temper of the people of the
country demands olear-eut. explicit
statement, not only of policy. but of
the immediate and direct means BY
which it Is proposed to make that
policy effective.
Under such circumstances, it is
certainly disappointment that the
president has been content to leave
the matter SO befogged as to compel
the public to rest its conclusions
solely upon its estimate of his good
faith and sincerity of purpose,
coupled with whatever measure of
confidence IT may entertain in his
ability to make good against the
opposition Of powerful elements of
his party.
President Roosevelt declares that
trust abuses should and must be
abolished.
But he leaves the people almost
wholly in doubt as to just what be
considers to be trust abuses.
Even Mark Hanna Is more candid.
He. also. declares that trust abuses
shall be abolished.
But he leaves no question as to his
real heart impulses when, in every
next breath, he declares in effect that
there are no trust abuses to abolish
HIS attitude is made clear when he
aeserts: There are no monopolies
