POLITICAL PROJECTILES

Democratic appeals for the labor
vote are based on the hope that the
American workman has forgotten
what happened in 1898.
A famous French chef, visiting in
New York. says he can not understand
why the American people do not eat
more soup. He ought To be told that
they had an overdose of il when the
Democrats were in power.
II is stated that the Hon. pat" Nc
Carren, of Brooklyn, received a mod.
est salary from the Standard Oil com
pany of twenty thousand dollars a
year. Senator McCarren Is one of
Judge Parker's closest advisors.
The voters. familiarly known as "the
Masses do not show any particular
enthusiasm over the offer of James

pressions of Theodore Roosevelt.

the voters Of the nation are thinking

President Roosevelt had lived in
the west, he knew the great need of
the arid regions; his sympathies were
with the people asking for this APP
preparation. He also well knew the
prejudice in the east against giving
government aid to such an enterprise.
But he believed the demand was just
and he threw the whole weight of his
own personality as well as that of his
high Office into the scaIes, regardless
of the effect it might have on his own
political fortunes and won the day for
the people of this great region of vast
possibilities.
What would have been the fate of
such a bill in the hands of Grover
Cleveland. a man who had never been
west of the Mississippi river and who
spoke contemptuously of this region
