Matter of the Estate
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1904-11-05
BUYING MORE POWER.
WHAT THE SUPPORT OF TRUSTS FOR
ROOSEVELT MEANS.
Large Registration Throughout the coua
J. try Slows the People Ars
Deeply interested

The Republican National Committee
claims of a walkover for Roosevelt are
based simply on this fact and supposi-
ton, to wit: On the fact that the
great trusts and railroad combines are
supporting Roosevelt and pouring
money into his campaign chest. and
on the supposition that with this mon-
ey the Presidency can be bought. 1t
is this fact and this supposltion alone
that Cortelyou and Scott base their
claims" on, and 1t is on these claims
that Wall Street gamblers base their
judgment and the odds they oIer in
betting.
But can the Presidency be bought
outright? That game was tried in
1884 and in 1892 and did not work. It
was successful in 1888, when Matt
Ouay. the arch corruptionist of the Re
Dubiican party, aided by David Mar
lin. a product of Quayism, handled
the money contributed by the protect
ed interests of the country to defeat
Cleveland. 1t was played successful
Iy in 1880, when "Blocks of Five"
Dudley bought up the "foaters' in
, Indiana with crisp new bank notes.
But to buy the Presidency in 1904
is a different proposition. The Demo-
cratic party is organized and united
this year, and it will have the practi-
cally solid support of independent vot-
ers. The Democratic organization in
eyery debatable State is aggressive,
and determined that Republican brib-
ery and fraud shall be exposed and
prevented wherever possible. The
great registration in nearly all parts
of the country where registration is
required, and the deep, though quiet
interest shown in the campaign in the
rural districts everywhere. may mean
that the people approve of the alliances
made by the Roosevelt managers with
the trusts and other great aggregations
of capital, anG are not averse to the
corrupt scheme of those managers to
buy the Presidency, but there are
many patriotic people who refuse to
believe it.
They believe, on the other hand,
that the significance of the large regis
tration, and deep interest shown by
the voters throughout the country,
and particularly in the great industrial
and commercial States, is of another
kind. They believe il points to an up
rising of the honest and patriotic
masses everywhere who will drive the
Republicans from power and rebuke
the pupils and successors nf Quay and
Dudley, who are boasting that they
have the Presidency in thei- grasp.
Senator Scott. in one of his arrogant
and insolent claims" sent out with
the sanction of the Republican Nation
al Committee, says the Democratic
campaign is only "joke." He will
be of different opinion on the morn
ing after election, when he discovers
that his own State has gone Demo-
cratic and that a Democratic Legisla-
ture has been elected, which will send
a Democrat to represent West Vir-
ginia in the Senate in place of himself.
Scott is a great buffer. and always
has been, but this year the Democrats
are prepared to "call'' him, and they
are doing it right along.

ABSURD REPUBLICAN CLAIMS.
New York state Turning UndOubts
edIy to Parker and Herrick.

Republican politicians are maxi
ing the most extravagant claims as to
how New York will vote in November.
They ridicule the cry of "Odellism" and
say Roosevelt will sweep the State"
Only fools or persons ignorant Of the
situation will be misled by claims so
palpably insincere. New York is as
certainly Democratic this year as
Georgia. The attitude of the press Of
New York City is alone sufficient 10
satisfy any reasonable man where New
York stands. The only daily papers
supporting Roosevelt are the Tribune.
Sun, Press, Evening Mail, Evening
Globe and two Brooklyn papers of
purely local influence, and not much
at that.
The papers advocating the election
of Parker are the Herald. World,
American, Times, Stats Zeitung,
News. Evening World. Morgen Journal,
Evening Post, Telegraph, Evening
Journal. Courier des Etats Unis and
Telegram. Outside of New York City
the Democratic and independent press
is solid for Parker
The betting, although there is but
little of it, is at even money as to the
Presidential ticket. and at odds of 10
to in favor of the Democratic State
ticket.
New Yorkers all know how the State
is going. If others have doubts. short
visit in New York would dispel them.
Parker will win the States electoral
votes, and all of "OdelPs creatures"
will be "driven into the Hudson Riv.

they should be. The only question is
as to the size of the Democratic ma.

Republicans to Be Disappointed.

The Indiana Republicans have been
boasting that they would carry the
Twelfth Congressional District of that
State this year for the first time in
history. The district includes the city
of Fort Wayne, where Robinson, the
Democratic nominee, was cut consider
ably in previous contest. The staff
correspondent of the Indianapolis
News thinks the Republicans will be
disappointed. He has Travelled over the
Twelfth District, and reports as the re-
suit of his investiga ton, that there sis
little foundation for the Republican
claim that they will win out this year.
Fort Wayne is the chief city in Allen
County, which sent Hearst delegates
to st. Louis. The Democrats there are
of the true-blue kind, and they are
solid for Parker and Davis and the
rest of the Democratic ticket.

fact The rails cost SIP ton to pro-

THE CHiEF ISSUE.

shape of overchargeS and excessive
prices for goods from American farm
erS.
The American farmer should remem-
Der that when President Roosevelt was
Governor of New York he disapproved
a bill passed by the Legislature taxing
franchises, and intended to reduce the
burden of State tax on farmers and
other individual taxpayers by making
corporations pay their just share. The
corporation lawyers pleaded with
Roosevelt that the bill was unconstitu-
tional, and he was very ready to accept
their statement. The Court of Ap-
peals, Judge Parker presiding, after
ward held Roosevelt's objection to the
bill to be unfounded Roosevelt's
mistake" however, cost a large
amount of money, which was saved to
the corporations, and had to be paid by
the farmers and others. 1t made
Roosevelt solid, however. with the
trusts, which run the Republican party,
and doubtless had good deal to do
with his nomination for Vice-President.
Every farmer has at time cattle to
dispose of. 1t has been clearly estab-
lished that the Republican tariff tax on
hides, which was levied solely for the
benefit of the great meat packers in
Chicago and other centres, does not
put one dollar in the pocket of the
farmer or cattle raiser, who does not
get cent more for the animal on ac-
count of the hide, while it enables the
great trust meat packers to charge
higher prices for hides than they would
be able to charge if hides were coming
in free from South America Mexico
and elsewhere. 1t is not necessary to
take Democratic authority for these
facts. Ask any dealer in leather. The
Republican tariff tax on hides puts
millions of dollars into the pockets of
the meat trust, while it adds to the
cost of every pair of shoes and every
inch of leather that is used in the Uni
ted States-and farmers have use for
good deal of leather besides what they
wear as shoes.

The facts and figures above present
ed deal with the actual cost in money
to the American farmer of the high
tariff system on which the Republican
party says it stands pat" and which
is to be continued in all its oppressive
ness, extortion and injustice if Roose-
velt should be elected.
The Republican Congress has author
lied q standing army of 100000 men
four times as great as any previous
standing army of the United States in
time of peace. This means militarism,
a military aristocracy to cooperate
with the trust aristocracy in trampling
on the ordinary citizen. 1t means the
military system of Germany and Rus
sia for the United States. 1t means a
weapon that might prove very danger
Gus in the hands of man of Roose-
velt's quarrelsome character.
Imperialism goes with militarism.
The policy of attending to our own
business has been given up by the Re
publican Administration for that of
meddling in the worlds business, of
holding subject nations as colonies and
of exterminating them, as multitudes
VI nave UccA CAlC1
when they dared to demand for them
selves the independence for which
Americans fought in the Revolution.
At any moment the policy of imperial
ism, that meddling in the affairs of
foreign nations which Washington
warned us against in his farewell ad-
dress, may plunge us into a tremendous
war with some great power.
The election of Roosevelt would
mean a final step over the precipice of
imperialism. 1t would mean the
abandonment of American methods
and principles for those of continental
Europe, with a war lord for chief Of
State and a large and obedient stand
ing army at his command. 1t would
mean the stamp of popular ,pprovai
for Rooseyelt's usurpation of authority
that belongs to Congress alone, and for
future usurpations that would substi-
tute the will of the executive for the
Constitution of the United States.
Judge Parker stands for American
ism in all that the term implies; Roose-
velt for Imperialism, as illustrated in
Berlin, Vienna and st. Petersburg, and
of late also in Washington. Every real
American should vote for the Ameri-
can candidate. Alton B. Parker.

II do not believe it is possible for
any one to describe adequately the aw-
full horror of that scene" said Claude
H. Smith today, one of the survivors
of the recent Iroquois Theater horror
in Chicago. Mr.. Smith in company
with F. II. Jerman, is here in route to
the Orient. Both he and Mr.. Jerman
were in the Iroquois Theater during
the shocking calamity that resulted in
nearly 600 people being killed. They
.arrived yesterday from San Francisco
by the S. S. Siberia.
There has been a dispos don," said
Mr.. Smith "for the newspapers and
others to censure the theater people by
claiming that if proper order and pre-
Isence of mind had been maintained and
the mad rushes prevented, there would
not have been such a great loss of life.
1t would lave been impossible to have
kept order in sue ha gathering. The
crowd was composed largely of wo-
men and children.
| 1T was the cloud of gas and smoke
and fire that caused the greatest loss
of life. Those on the right SIDE of the
theater could see for perhaps minute
and half before there was any trou-
bile that a small fire of some sort was
in progress on the stage. There was
a small reflection and sparks could be
seen dropping to the stage. Eddie Foy
and others of the actors went on the
stage and told the people to retair

Kalihi camp, long a hotbed Of seventh
precinct politics, will soon be a thing
of the past. Under orders from Sup
erintendent of Public Works Holloway
the inmates of the camp are being
forced to pay their rent or leave the
camp, and many are leaving. There
are about $50 left there now, though
the place has capacity for over three
hundred.
Kalihi camp buildings are owned by
the government, and Holloway is an
xious to sell them. The lease of the
land on which they stand will expire
in a year, and the government agreed
to remove the buildings by that time.
1t is believed that the buildings might
be taken over and made profitable if
an extension of the lease were secured,
but the government is not anxious to
remain in the lodging house business
longer than necessary. The buildings
were put up as a relief and quarantine

The asbestos curtain was let down

smoke and fire belched from under the
