the social democrats for presI lent,
received $4,000 votes, Malloney, the
social labor nominee, polled 10000.
The smaller organizations of So
cialists also rolled up some votes. In
some of the state elections since 1900,
notably in Massachusetts in 1902,
the sosialists made strong showing.
In 1903, however, it fell back. Tom
Johnson's programme has good
deal of socialism in it, and it got
some hard knocks from the people
of Ohio this year. Whether Tom
will be extant next year or not is
uncertain, but it would seem that
Ohio has no favors for him.
Even socialisinsa enemies have
been predicting big display for it
in the canvass of 1904 Many re
publicans have been assuming that
if Debs or some other personally
popular man with some talent for
oratory should be nominated by the
socialists in 1904 he would receive
100000 or 100000 votes. In the
state elections of 1902 the aggregate
socialist vote was over 100000 That
big poll aroused the hopes of the So
cialists and the fears of tn cir enemies
all over the country. But things
have turned out different from what
both sides expected. OF course it
would be rash to predict that the
socialist poll in 1904 will be smaller
than it was in 1900. Much will de-
pend on the condition of busin ess at
that time If there should be in
dustrial stagnation the socialist vote
would be likely to expand. In any
case there is enough flo ating radical
ism of one sort and another in Amer
can politics to render it probable
that the socialist candidate of 1904
will make showing that will attract
some attention, through the proper
tions of his vote are not likely to be
quite so majestic as was assumed
year ago to be inevitable. Globe

presidential campaign will be much
more conservative than might be ex-
pected. The purpose will be to sur
prise some of the Presidents critics
by the temperate character of the
campaign and the business quality
OF the issues presented. Those most
interested cannot foresee at this time
to what extent or in what manner
the tariff and the financial questions
may enter into the campaign. An
effort will be made to have the test
come in dealing with questions

with consideration for the general
public welfare and the development
and progress of the country.
Other things to which prominence
is to be given is the claim of free
dom from corporation influence and
vigor in the enforcement of honesty
and punishment of dishonesty in the
public service. The claim or free
dom from corporation influence will
be based upon the SO called anti
trust legislation secured by the
President and the general plan of
operation adopted for the depart
ment OF commerce and labor and the
prosecution of the Northern Securi
ties cases. In answer to the sugges
ton that the anti trust legislation by
the last Congress was very limited
and insufficient, and that the depart
ment of commerce and labor has not
yet done anything to demonstrate its
usefulness in dealing with corpora
tions, it will be contended that the
very caution and moderation with
which the matter is being considered
at the outset is guarantee of earn
estness of purpose; that the subject

sweep, and that if the work is to be
undertaken in earnest the foundation
for action must be carefully laid and
a system of healthy regulation and
control of corporations be construct
ed deliberately along broad lines.
1t is anticipated by MIR. Roose-
velt's friends that he will have to en-
counter opposition, perhaps of Sc
cret sort, from great corporations,
while being criticised by impatient
anti trust people for not moving
faster, and that he may have to
withstand an attempt to make the
administration shoulder the respon
sibility for the reaction in great
financial and business undertakings
This, they declare, they will be pre-
pared to meet.-State Journal.

The Democrats and Panama

Apparently the democrats, ever in
search of issue, are going to repeat
their old blunder OF trying to block
the foreign policy of the administra-
ton when it has the support OF the
American people as a body. The
democrats think that political capi-
tai can be made out of the Panama
situation, and they intend to attack
the action of the President and Sec
retary Hay at the extra session OF
Congress. The first step will be to
call for the papers in the case, which
may or may not be furnished. Ex
pediency may require that for the
present they be withheld. Both MIR.
Cleveland and Mr. Mckinley found
it for the interests of the country
not to take Congress into their conf
dence when matters in Cuba were
critical. When the democrats ask
for the state department documents
bearing upon the Panama crisis, it
will not be in good faith, but to OBJ
tain, if possible, party advantage
not to hold up the hands of the
administration, but to hold them.
No other part of the country is SO
much interested in the construction
of a canal across the isthmus as the
solid South, and the democrailc
party and the solid South are very
much the same thing. Public senti
ment in the South undoubtedly ap.
proves of what has taken place in
Panama; the triumph of the revolu
tionists is hailed with elaticn, and
any further bargain with Colombia
would be condemned among the peo
pie of the South at large. Ii they
are properly represented in Congress
there should be no disposition to en-
barrass the administration. Prob
ably there is no democratic repre-
sentative more in sympathy with the
overturn in Panama and the results
that must flow from it thar John
Sharp Williams of Mississippi, the
new leader of the minority. If Mr..
Williams cares abont hi. reputation
