episode in our national history?
The whole milk in the cocoanut Of
this disgraceful proceeding came out
today when it was announced in the
New York Press that the firm of J.
Pierpont Morgan & Co., mad beeu
made the fiscal agents of the new
republic Of Panama in, this country.
That means that this firm Of "Cap-
tains Of finance" will finance the new
republic and get the rake-off. That
accounts for the fact that the New
York Sun, which has been hitherto
bitterly antagonistio to Roosevelt has
come out and endorsed the action of
the administration in garroting and
robbing the republic Of Colombia.
That paper is owned and controlled by
Mr.. Morgan. It also shows that all
the talk about Wall Street and the
Morgan interests being opposed to
Roosevelt will no longer 20 down the
throats Of q hitherto over credulous
public.
It is generally conceded that che
democrats must carry the states ofNew
York and New Jersey In the next
presidential election in order to win.
Conoeding that those two states are
absolutely necessary for democratic
success next year 1t may be interest
ing for the democrats of the country
to know the kind Of democracy that
must control in the state of New Jer-
sey next year If we would win that
state.
An illustration drawn from the last
congressional election in that state
last year will suffice to give them
this information. In one Of the con-
gressional districts that was democrat
ic the democrats nominated a man
named De Witt Clinton FLANAGAN, q
man Of wealth., refinement, culture
and social distinction. He represented
only those things that the republicans
like, and of which they are not
afraid. He was Endorsed by Grover
Cleveland, who lives in this district,
and who made speech for him, the
first he had made since his retirement
from the presidency. Notwithstand-
ing all this and further fact that M.
Flanagan spent large sum Of money,
he was defeated.
On the other hand, in; another dis
trict that was normally republican
by about 1000 majority, and in
which the republicans nominated the
millionaire thread manufacturer,
Barbour. and in which tho democratic
nomination went ..begging. the demo-
Gratis won splendid victory After
the nomination In this district had
been declined by number Of demo-
Gratis. q young democrat named: Will
lam Hughes, lawyer without money,
but with character and brains and
real democracy, accepted the nomina-
tton ~ matter Of party honor. He
from the beginning Of the
campaign that he had no money with
which to buy votes, and said he did
not want Q vote that had to be- pur-
chased. He also said that If he were
elected 1t would mean q real demo-
cratic triumph and q slap in the face
of monopoly and trust domination and
the rule Of the predatory rich. He
roundly denounced all those things
from start to finish Of the campaign.
and the result was that he was
elected by the honest men off, the
district by 8, 900 majority. a change
Of 5000 votes in the district.
That should teach the democrats
Of the country that If they hope to
carry the state Of New Jersey In the
next presidential election they must
nominate a. man for president who
stands for. the things and the kind of
democracy that ''Billy" Hughes stood
for they may as we'll hang their harp
on willow tree.
