SHOW THE TRUTH

Republicans, forecasting events
from the September elections in Yer
mont and Maine, should not allow
themselves to be overconfident of re-
suits Of the presidential election in
November.
There is no doubt as to the fact that
Roosevelt will win, but he ought to
be given a great vote Of confidence, an
outpouring Of national affection and
trust, aside from a mere majority Of
electoral votes.
A rebuke is deserved for the men
who SO falsify facts and sentiments,
so distort, prevaricate and invent, az
to make it appear that Theodore
Roosevelt Is anything but the strong,
thoughtful loyal American citizen
that he Is.
The silly bosh about imperialism"
and "militarism," the groundless fub-
dub as to fancied personal dictation
by their executive to the American
people should be rebuked by the peo-
pie in such manner as can never be
forgotten.
Let Republicans appear en- masse at
the polls in November, to show what
they think of Theodore Roosevelt

a RearguaFd Action.

Already in the presidential campaign
of this year the Democrats are fight
ing "rearguard action" The Rus
sian General kuropatkin has his trou-
bles and has been fighting rearguard
actions for some time, but his condi-
ton is good as compared with the con-
dition of the present leaders of the
Democratic party.
The Democracy is fighting a ''rear-
guard action" and about the only trou-
BILE the Republicans have in the pre-
misses is that there will not be fun
enough in the campaign. Even the
"rearguard action" appears to be about
over.

Republican rs. Democratic Policy.

Organization does much to maintain
the wages of labor, but organization
OF wage-earners does not provide con-
sumers. Consumption of coal is al
ways greatest when mills and facto-
ries are running full time. 1t is the
policy of the Republican party to pre-
tect all industries by wise and benefl-
cent laws, while it has been the pol
icy of the Democratic party, as evil
denced by the last Cleveland admins
tration, to provide as much work as
possible for the artisans of other coun-
tries by removing the protection the
tariff affords American workingmen.

Mr.. Bryan, all the Democrats in the

all American voters of whatever DO

expect detailed and explicit publicity
from Candidate Parker of his views
on governmental financial policies, SO
that they could know whether or not.
or to what extent his views were their
views. But this publicity was denied
them, because the managers Of the
convention deemed it of more i'm
portance to protect their candidate
from questions which he would not
want to answer for fear of making

of the country from possible misun-
derstanding as to financial views which
might not bear the limelight of public

It is droll, the attitude of the Dem
ocratic party in the present campaign.
1t has nominated candidates of mod
crate talents as tigureheads for the
ventures of the discredited party, and
expects the people to support them,
while the Democratic national commit
tee and Tammany are expected to buy
or steal success.
The Democratic party, with its un~
sound views, financial and economic,
lies hopefully behind Parker and those
unnamed eXpectancies voiced by WILL
Jams, Bryan and other Democrats.
And Bryan promises to reorganize
the party after the election! How?
Evidently on lines of socialism, gov
eminent and municipal ownership Of
telegraph and railroad lines, with all
the sequence. What a vagueness Of
thought and promise! How may So
