The change in the party alignment of
this influential Irish American journal is
significant. 1t is an instance and evil
denee OF the change which has been GO
ing on for twenty years which has d.
sided between two great political parties
the Irish Catholic vote which formerly
was almost solidly Democratic. The
Democratic party was well served by the
hnow-Nothing craze which swept the
country for very brief period fifty years
ago. This drove the foreign born voters
the great majority of whom at that time
were IRISH Catholics, into the Democratic
party because it was opposed to the
now-Nothings When the organization
and ideas of the latter disappeared from
the face Of the earth the Democratic
party retained the advantage which it
had gained. and the new immigrants nat
nrally joined the political organization
TO which their friends and the other
members of their race belonged. A
great many lrishmen broke away from
their old moorings and voted for Blaine
In 1884, and have remained with the
Republican party ever since. These will
vote for Roosevelt this year. and the
Boston lot points out why other Irish
Americans should do the same thing.
The Iris has race have fourished and
grown strong in this country. They have
improved their condition in many ways
They have gained wealth. They have
displayed a genins for politics and have
found here their opportunity to make the
most Of It, \ generation ago they were
making our railroads and doing the
rough and heavy work of the country
generally. Now immigrants from the
south and east of Europe fill the role of
day laborers for the most part. while the
Irish are more likely to be found super
intending the job. They have prospered
and grown with the growth of the coun-
try, and as they perceive that this coun-
try has been for over forty years, ex-
cepting a very brief interval, under the
sway and dominated by the policies of
the Republican party. it is not surprising
that intelligent lrishmen are joining the
party under whose rule they have profit
ed so greatly.
There are many good reasons why
lrishmen should vote the Republican ma
tional ticket. The Pilot. however, lays
most Of its stress on one consideration,
which is that the candidate of the Repub-
liean party. Theodore Roosevelt, "is no
fair weather friend, no fayorer OF any
class or creed or race, but a, just man
and safe one to trust in storm or
calm"

Eugene A. Philbin.

New York, Aug. 16.-Ex-District At
torney Eugene A. Philbin, recognized
gold Democratic leader in New York, is
out for Roosevelt In explaining his po-
sition he said with regard to Roosevelt's
devotion to duty:
"Those who are forced to admit that
Roosevelts course during the last three
years has been conservative insist that
this was because he was candidate for
reelection all this time and that when
he is elected by voice of the people he
will take a different course.
MY personal acquaintance with
Roosevelt leaves me in no doubt re-
garding his attitude in that respect. He
has at all times shown a willingness to
sacrifice personal policy for the public
good and great devotion to duty. lie is
also a shrewd politician, and to be that
he must be possessed with the necessary
sagacity to manage our foreign rela-
tons so that our interests will be best
subserved."

never yet been time when the people

has never concealed his views. He has

What President Roosevelt has said
and done for national irrigation. which
is the great new hope of the West, shows
clearly and conclusively that the reclama-
ton act was passed by his assistance,
when it could not have been passed with
out it. The new homes which will cover
the Western deserts. the new home mar

these homes will create, the new pros
perity and well being which national ir
rigation is bringing to the whole country
these are the direct results of the far
sighted action of President Roosevelt.

Democratic principles. has announced

publisher. former Democratic State com

The News in explanation for its ac-
ton says: This change of policy comes
from a conviction that the Democratic
party OF to-day is not the Democratic
party Of the days gone by; from the be-
lief that the domination of that party
as at present constituted in the nation
would not be conducive to the best in
terests Of the people, and from the con-
yiction that the supremacy of the Repub-
liean party is necessary TO national de-
