Fairbanks Letter.
While the letter of acceptance of
Vice Presidential Candidate Charles
W. Fairbanks is not so long and
therefore not so exhaustive as that
of President Roosevelts it ably sup
plements that strong presentation Of
Republican principles.
Mr.. Fairbanks letter states clearly
what the Republican party has done
in maintaining peace with all the
world while at the same time advanc;
ing all the interests of the United
States; in maintaining protection
which guards and develops our indus
tries, and at the same time increasing
trade relations by means of treaties
of reciprocity; in proceeding against
trusts by enforcing laws which the
late Democratic administration re-
garded as ineffective; in establishing
the gold standard; in dealing broadly
and fairly with the Filipinos, and in
reclaimng lands Of the west.
Mr.. Fairbanks presents these Issues
so clearly and so forcibly that they
cannot be met by the opposition

Deeds Of Today Count Now.
The American electorate has gone
mast the time when a party is judged
by tradition; the voters ask for re.
suits. The traditions OF the old Demo.
cratic party are dear to the memory
of all Democrats. The deeds of the
Democratic party of recent years and
the promises Of the Democratic party
of today do not appeal to the best
judgment of thinking men.
