party was not lonE in practically
abandoning the latter because it
savored somewhat of free trade. The
export business of this country is
growing and the exporters are anx-
ious to make more reasonable terms
with other countries. They are,
therefore, deeply interested in ex-
tending a helping hand to friendly
foreigners by the way of either re-
ducing the tariff or adopting recipro-
cal relations. While it is true that
the administration may be able to
stihe the Towa Platform" they cam
not change the views of a majority
of the Republican party i'll the middle
West. One of the most potent argu-
ments to prove this assertion was
the retirement ofSpeaker Henderson,
who was compelled to leave public
life because his constituents did not
approve of the views of the admins
tration OH tariff and reciprocity.
1t has become more and more APP
parent among the Republicans them
selves, and especially those who be-
long to the great middle class, that
the present tariffhas been promoter
of the trusts. Yet in spite ofthis fact,
the Republican majority in the House
have not touched the present law, and
if they follow their leaders, they will
'let we'll enough alone"
The postal investigation is now
reaching out in so many directions
that it is feared that men high in the
councils of the Republican party may
be reached. Should this be the case
or if the Department shows any halt
ing steps in order to avoid exposure,
it will make considerable campaign
capital that will vitality help the
Democratic cause. Its also rumored
that there has been some crooked
work in another of the bureaus and
this too is said to reach in the direc-
ton of several Republican politicians.
So taking all in all the Democratic
party is not working for a "lost
cause" but on the contrary has living
issues sufficient to go before the peo-
pie and demand their support. They
do not lack leaders as time will demon
strate. 1t seems to be the best policy
to let circumstances and the trend of
public sentiment point out the proper
man. When the time comes we will
be fully equipped for live, vigorous
campaign and victory should be ours.

A SUGGESTION.

As the time draws near, the differ
ent aspirants for political honors are
redoubling their energies to win the
coveted places on the Democratic
ticket. Every man is working like
a beaver imbued with the hope that
he will be successful enough to re-
ceive the required number of votes
that will place him on the ticket. AS
there are forty-seven candidates and
less than one-third of this number of
places to be filled, it will necessarily
follow that some one is going to be
disappointed and it is to those that
we wish to address few remarks.
They should bear in mind the fact
that each person has had a fair show
as nothing could give a better chance
than the Crawford County System
and had they been successful in re-
ceiving the nomination they would
have expected the support of Others
left behind. Time and again we have
counseled campaign on friendly
lines, and it is our pleasure to see,

COMHERCIALLSM IN POLITICS.

For some time past the question of
choosing United States Senators by
direct vote instead of by legislatures
Of the different States, as is now
provided BY the Constitution, has
been agitated. Time and again diff
fcrent deliberatiye bodies have been
outspollen i'll their sentiment regard
ing n change. Several times bills
have passed the House of Represen-
tativcs looking to the desired legisla-
ton, but they have inevitably met
their defeat in the United States
Senate. This is but anatural course
of events as the present members of
the United States Senate owe their
elevation to the mode prescribed by
the Constitution, and it is easy to see
that they are loath to make the
change. 1t is an open secret that the
upper National Legislature is fast
becoming a club for millionaires.
Seldom indeed, can any poor man as
pire to this exalted position. For
the reason that money counts so
vitality in the choice of Senator's, the
country at large is suffering from the
inability to get its best material in
this important branch ofour govern
ment. History records that many
of the greatest men of the day cared
little for money and most of them
died poor men. Men of the calibre
of Clay, Webster and Calhoun would
stand no opportunity today, should
they aspire for this high official posi-
ton and therefore, it is thought by
many, who have given the subject
careful study, that an election by
direct vote would result in different
state of affairs.
1t is to bevery much regretted that
money now plays such an important
part in politics. The vast amount
required to legitimately conduct a
campaign is almost staggering, and
it is indeed doubtful whether or not
we get the best results when such
means are employed. In olden times
every man cast his vote i'll accord
ance with his personal sentiments
and there was no such thing as an
organization necessary. Today,
politics is handled in a regular
routine manner like any ordinary
business. 1t has its chief head under
which are many subdivisions. All
Of this machinery takes money and
some one must foot the bill and the
result is that i'll the end only wealthy
men can afford to enter into public
life.
1t may be pessimistic to make dole
full predictions of the final outcome,
but there are many of us who would
prefer to return to the old way, when
political offices were filled on princi-
pie without being smirched with the
spirit of commercialism.
The aegis & intelligencer. [volume] (Bel Air, Md.) 1864-1923, 1903-07-17

1t is the duty of those who do not
receive the sought mark of recogni-
ton to accept defeat in the most
philosophical manner. Thestrength
of our party in November rests solely
on the action of those upon whose
heads victory will not perch. 1t re-
quircs every Democratic vote that we
can muster up to insure the certain
success of our ticket, and if there ever
was time we need to hold together
it is at present To the defeated cam
didates the future always holds out
hopes of success and if we go
back and examine results of past
campaigns we can discover that
many times the party has seen fit to
afterwards recognize those who have
been at first turned down. The
Democratic voters have little SYM
pathy for those who sulk in their
tents and several times this has been
manifested in no uncertain manner.
So for the interest of the party, as
we'll as for the individual careers of
those who do not receive the nomi-
nation, we urge that they accept the
same i'll the best of spirit, remember
ing the old adage eff at first we don't
succeed, try, try again"
