~ why: Democrats Are Wroth.
Because a Republican Congress and
Republican President, managing the Re-
public for a Republican. majority of the
people,, conducted the government as a
business proposition of the vastest mag
nitude. using no means except good COM
mon sense and the powers delegated by
the national constitution, and because
the Democrats never have and never will
do the same, however much they may
tpromise, is the plain reason for their
|'outcry of imperialism. This conserve
ton of utilities for public good and en-
ployed by the nations business managA
ers maddens the Democrats, because they
have been impotent with their opportu-
mites. Judge Parker is alarmed at the
power of the President. ut almost
equals that of many monarchs," he de-
clares... Why should it not? 1t. is under
by a Gordon of States and the will Of the
people. If Democratic President were
up-to-date and regarded the welfare Of
the nation as more important than that
Of his party, would he not be likely to do
as the Republicans have done? II he
failed to try he would be recreant to his
trust but not, perhaps, to his party.
But Judge Parker goes farther in his
fear of what Republicanism may do for
the country. In doing this he deliberate
ly insults that majority of the people
vino have believed in the Republican
party, whose principles and practice
have, in the last forty-less eight-years
made the United States what it is to-
day. He writes: "The magnitude Of the
country and it's diversity of interests and
ulation''-diversity of population ap-
plies to honest-ideaed foreigners who
have come here to be rid of dictators and
imperialists, to men who should resent
at the polls this imputation against their
patriotism-'would ena BILE determined,
ambitious, and able executive chat does
not mean Democrat, but Mr.. Roose-
velt) unmindful of constitutional limita-
tons and fired with the lust Of power, to
go far in the usurpation Of authority and
the ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of personal power be-
fore the situation could be fully appre-
ciated or the people be aroused" Such
an utterance is twaddle; there is not 4
sign of craftsmanship bout it. It is 4
WORKOUT Democratic echo from Gen.
Grants political campaigns. It might
not be worth thinking about had not the
chairman of the Democratic State Cen
trail Committee of Connecticut brought
out the same sentiment in saying Of the
Connecticut Democrats s'they fear he
(Roosevelt) may become ambitious to
carve out for himself@a place in history,
and that in doing this he may -znbroil Us
with foreign nations" This Indicates
unity of echo; but no one is scared
but the Democrats. But they insult
those of our citizens Of alien descent by
intimating that Mr.. Roosevelt might
steal the goyernm ent without their sus-,
peeting anything of the kindly assert
ing that it is, even now, supported as
it is by foreign born and native voters,
a s'benefcent despotism. 5i.f !. s...l22z i.
Mr. Roosevelt does not agree with this
view of the situation. He has written:
1--WE have striven both for civic right
eousness and for national greatness; and
we have faith to believe that our hands
will be uph Sid by all who feel love Of
country and trust in the uplifting OF man
kind.'' Mr.. Roosevelt sentiments are.
all Of them, those Of 4 patriot; against
him are those Of political tricksters and
ademagogues. ~
