Representative Clayton, of Ala
bama. says that President Roosc-
velt's trust speeches are making DEM
ocratic votes at a rate which is alarm
ing republican bosses. Those who
listen TO the presidents trust doe
trines,'' said Judge Clayton, "know
that they are represented in party
politics by democrats. He is plug
cling for our game. We do not want
him to stop. When he gets the pee
pie educated and aroused to the ne
cessity of action by congress on this
question, thing which not only he
but the democratic party is doing,
these same people will also have come
TO realize that the democratic party
is the only hope they have for the
accomplishment of this purpose. it
is not necessary to discuss the presi-
dents personal loss or gain in this
matter. That is a responsibility
which he assumes himself. If he :
able 10 make the people believe that
he is powerful enough to regulate the
trusts without the aid of his party in
congress, well and good. One thing
is certain, however; he will not be
able to convince the public mind that
he has the support of his party ICI
that question:

Plenty of Issues in Campaien.

The democratic campaign book
causes a great deal of CONSERVATION
in the republican camp. The repub-
lican newspapers have clamored that
the democrats have no issues, but
shows that the democrats have issues
enough TO make the enemy seriously
i'll. Neither will the democratic book
have to be withdrawn for revision
and alteration as the republican cam
paign book had to be. The democrats
know where they are at.
The trust question is made the
leading issue. The democrats have
remedies for the trust evil. They
know how to destroy the trusts. and
they are not afraid to face the task.
They will not lay down and confess
inability to solve the problem as the
republicans have done. The question
of Imperialism is also made a leading
Tissue.
Trusts and Imperialism are nation
al issues. and the money question,
which is always with us. and the tar
iff question, which looms up with spc-
cial magnitude just now. are distinct
ly made issues in the present cam
paign. These with the state issues
that are of special Importance to the
people of Illinois at the present time
are quite sufficient to keep the repub-
licans in hot water.
The only remedy for the economic
evils that have been fostered by the
republican party is to put new infiu-
ences in control.

As to the Army Transport Holdups.

|
| According to Washington advices If
a plan proposed by the navy depart
ment to take possession of the army
transports Grant, Lawton. Hancock
and Relief can be put through an
other scandal in connection with the
purchase of transport ships will be
hushed permanently. The Grant cost
the government S66O.OOO, the Hancock
5000 900. the Relief $780, and the
Lawton 100000. These figures re;I-
resent the original purchase prices.
The government has expended nearly
S1,0O0,000 in fitting them out for
transport service. Recently when
they were offered for sale after n
long period of advertising, prospec-
tive, purchasers offered less than
100000 for all four ships. The war
! department not only rejected but
suppressed the bids, they were So
ridiculously small. TO have publish
ed them would have disclosed the ex-
travagance which was INDUCED IN
during the Spanish war in purchasing
transports and would have revived
stories of half-told scandals that
were forgotten in the rush and hurry
of preparation for war with Spain.
Nobody ever has doubted that the
prices paid for ships for all pur-
poses were eXtravagant to degree.
The old Merrimac, which was sunk at
the entrance to Santiago harbor, cost
the government 100000, potwith-
standing that she was barely able
even under favorable conditions, to
remain af1oat. The war department
does not feel like advertising again
for the sale of the Grant, Lawtol
Hancock and Relief because it feels
| assured that the second bids will
not be more favorable than the first
1t is willing, therefore, to turn the
ships over to the navy department
which has found that the Grant and
LawtOn can be employed convenient
ly as receiving ships at San Fran
| cisco and in Puget Sound, that the
Relief can be converted into a superb
hospital ship and that the Hancock
can be employed for the Transports
ton of naval reserves.
Only. the Lawton can be turned over
to the navy department without a
special act of congress, because she
was purchased with money drawn
/ an Nv
congress before the declaration of
war, which was intended for naval as
well as military purposes. The other
three were purchased subsequently
as army transports and can be turn
ed over to the navy only after con
gress has provided an appropriation
which will enable the navy depart
ment to satisfy the claims of the war
department.
The expectation is that congress
will be asked to appropriate a sum
equal TO the original purchase price,
plus the amounts expended in fitting
out the ships for transport service.
In this way it can be recorded Off
eially that they were sold for what
they cost. Secretary Root is expect
ed to approve the plan on his return
to Washington.
