CITIES AS A CAMPAIGN FACTOR
Their Importance in the Cause of De
 mocracy.

Their Importance in the Cause of De-
 mocracy.
 It is announced that Speaker Cannon has discovered a strong democratic ten- dency in the cities and has warned the republican managers to counteraet, if possible, this threatening movement. It is not likely that MT. Cannon's discov- cry comes to the republican leaders as surprise. Every one who has fol- lowed political developments during the past few years has noticed that the democratic gains could be instantly traced to the large centers of popula- tion. It was the increase of the demo- cratic vote in the cities which sWelled the democratic aggregate in the last house, and if the next house. should be democratic the victorious party will find the reason for it's success in the demo- cratic tendency of the urban vote.
 The steadily increasing population Of the cities makes them more and more the important factors in the campaign.
 In fact, in more than one state the vote
 of one or two cities offsets the vote of the rest of the state. This is notably the case in Maryland, where the city and county of Baltimore cast about one hundred and twenty-five thousand of
 the two hundred and fifty thousand votes credited to the entire state.
 There are lightweight counties in Ohio,
 mostly settled by farming communities
 and yet five of the counties in which are situated Cincinnati Cleveland, Co.,. lumbus, Toledo and Dayton, contain al- most one-third of the voting population of tho state In the city of st. Louis
 no less than one-sixth of the vote of the entire state is cast. New York state, of course, affords a conspicuous example,
 because New York Brooklyn. Albany , and Rochester equal in their vote near Fly one-half of the combined Voting strength of the rest of the state. In i fact, the comparisons might be contin- | ued indefinitely, the result almost inva- lriably showing that the cities present the principal points of attack for the Icontending parties.
 It is not difficult to analyze the req son for the democratic tendency in the cities. Within the past few years an unusual era of prosperity has befallen l the farmers. Wheat and corn and all ] kinds of produce have brought splendid prices. The increasing population Of ] the cities has, in itself been a source of
 profit for the food grower, inasmuch as
 1t has greatly enlarged lis market. The
 farmer has not on the other hand, been
 compelled to pay unusually high prices
The daily morning journal and courier., 1904-10-01


 for those necessaries of life which he does not produce. Clothing and shoes. the two great items of expense in a farm house, have been obtainable at reasonable cost, and even farm ma- chinery has not advanced to a point where its purchase has become a bur den. The statistics of the past few years have demonstrated that the far mer has been blessed with good times in the most generous sense of the word. Naturally he does not want change. He is no longer in the slough of depres- sion, as he was in 1896. and he turns a deaf ear to the dispensers of theories and promises
 It is different in the cities, where thousands of workingmen are strug- gling along upon the same old wages, and yet are paying largely increased prices for the necessities of life. There are strikes and idleness, toe, in the cit ies, creating condition of unrest and atisfaction. which menaees the par ty in power. It might be argued that these same workingmen were in more dire straits in 1893, but, as matter of fact, argument does not seem to meet
 
 the situation.
 The masses of Wage-earners ehafe un- der the increased cost of living and are willing to champion any change which promises to relieve them of the burden. ethods of communica tion are closer in the cities, so that men mingle with each other and spread among themselves the story of real or fancied impositions. It is from this restless, dissatisfied class that the opposition party gets it's votes, and in such numbers that Speaker Cam non's warning is by no means without foundation. Iii Ohio, four years ago, al- though the state gave a tremendous re publican majority, the counties contain ing the large cities were, with the ex- ceptien of Hamilton county, carried by a comparatively narrow margin.
 It will not be surprising if, on the night of the Sth of next November, the returns from the great cities, which will be the first to be flashed over the wires, show large democratic gains. The end of the story will not be told, however, until the rural districts are heard from. They will be the crucial point, and the faces of the republican managers may well wear a look of anxiety if the farm ing vote also shows defection. It is to- day the reliance of the republican party. It must be kept solidly in line if the ad- ministration hopes to retain Its present power. Washington Post,
