sryan,s Help VIII Be Welcomed

There is no denying Mr.. Bryan's fine
gifts OF oratory and his ability to sway
and inspirit masses of men. His offer
to the Democratic national committee
to take the stump during the month
of October should be no less gratifying
TO those Democrats who have opposed
hinn for his heresies than TO those who
have been his consistent admirers. In
presenting the issues of the campaign
as marked out by the Democratic plat
form, Mr.. Bryan is capable of render
ing services to his party as useful as
they are sure to be brilliant and com
manding of attention. Nobody is able
TO scar with hotter words the flesh of
the Republican potterers for their
hypocrisy in dealing with the trusts; !;
Tor their compiacency toward execu-
tive, usurpation of the war making
power in Panama and the law making
power in the pension order; or for. their
disregard for the constitution, but re-
gardfulness for the protected interests
and the robber tariff. Philadelphia

New Political Party in 1903

The question of new political party
in 1908 is already being discussed as q
necessity of the times. and it's organi-
zation is only postponed because there
is no possibility of it's being able to
accomplish anything in the approach
ing national contest. The lines upon
which the two old parties are now di-
videda are not.=x distant as to vital
issues. Laying aside inherited pref
udices ana the local environments, the
average American citizen might vote
either the Democratic or Republican
ticket without decided preference, sc
far as the national party platforms af-

DELAY WORSE THAN DANGEROUS

The voice Of public opinion suggests
to R. C. Dunn in no uncertain tones
that every hour of delay in producing
that reply to the charges contained in
the public examiners report is worse
than dangerous. Allegations so specific,
SO fortified by the records and so ut
terly damaging should not wait for de-
nial and disproof, If these be possible.
1t is an awful load to carry for a single
day. And every hour Of the twenty
four, brings conviction to many.
Nothing else was talked OF yesterday
but this most circumstantial and COM
plete recital, enough unless absolutely
destroyed by some kind of rehuttal
which the ordinary mind can Scarcely
conceive Of as possible, to blast any
mans reputation. Everybody had read
the story in T h Clio e; the only
place, by the way. where they had a
chance to read it. The organ of Mr.
Dunn had brief and vague reference
to the Johnson report, tucked away
carefully where few would be likely to
find it. But then the people know by
this time that they must read T h e
Glob e every day if they want to have
the news. And no published document
| has ever created more stir; more con-
sternation among Dunn's friends, more
glee among his opponents.
T he G1 b repeats what it has al
ready said that, unless Mr. Dunn has
a valid defense and unless he produces
it Immediately, he might as we'll retire
from the field. He stands under an
| overwhelming suspicion, under the
shadow. of the gravest charge against
| his official probity than can be brought
against any man. His delay in reply
ing to these charges has deepened the
universal impression that they cannot
be answered satisfactorily. Candidate
and party stand today smirched in
delibiy with this deep disgrace. Even
| the feeling that man should have a
hearing before he is condemned utterly
| and finally will not brook easy pro-
| crastination and unreasonable delay. 1t
is very much UP to Mr.. Dunn.

LETTERS FROM THEPEOPlE

tutes Abuse for Argument


tlites Abuse for Argument
To the Editor of the Globe:
: The following is from a speech recent
ly delivered by United States Marshal w.
H. Grimshaw before Minneapolis audi
ence. We would like to have heard the
a photograph of the audience
that conglomerate mass Of
ignorance and insanity called the Demo-
cratic party.''-W. III. GrimshaW
Although such utterances merit abso-
lutely no attention from great daily
paper. L lie G e doubtless gave some
of its readers quite treat in exposing
this sample of blackguardism. and the
scathing denunciations in the editorial OF
yesterdays edition We're much enjoyed by
many. Yet We thought T he G1ob e
treated the subject almost too seriously,
as the "oration" is really harmless and
would make good material for Democratic
campaign literature. The prominent of
flee, that of United States marshal, held
by the speaker was undoubtedly the cause
OF the prominence given to the matter.
1t must be remem bered, too that the gal
liant marshal is drawing a large salary
as marshal, and he doubtless is doing the
best he can for his party. To those who
are familiar with the campaign methods
OF the army of Republican officehoders.
this sample of street corner argument
is familiar. Republicans of Wisconsin
and Minnesota have habituaIly used this
method of argument" Feeling safe with
all the Offices and lacking resources for
le5illldle reasoning On Jne pOiltfcdl Sltua-
tion, they assume an affected superiority,
which neither they nor anybody else be-
lieves, and silence opposition with insult.
The little two-by-four country news
papers of Wisconsin have always done
this. 1t is their only resource, and as
I h G b e says, it is the resource of
weak and unworthy antagonist Such
exhibitions may be expected in state
whose voters are so superior in intel
iectual attainments and have such a firm
grasp OF the situation that argument and
discussions of the great and vital ques-
tions of the day are not needed For,
has not the Republican national commit
tee refused to send any money into Min
nesota for campaign purposes? The Re-
publicanS of the state are to be con-
graduated on their. high intellectual at
tainments in the science of political econ
onyi
There is at this time a rare oppor-
tunity for the better class of citizens to
take hand in the game, and not leave
our most important matters to profess
sional politicians and ward heelers. 1t has
already been too long neglected. and we
are paying for it. Laws fayoring corpora
lions prove it, e. A. Benjamin.

be followed. It means a cessation Of
the old system of road appropriations
and road repair; and the construction,
as fast as the funds will allow, of mod
ern, permanent highways. To that end
the efforts Of the voter should be de-
voted.
We can make no step along this line
until county commissioners are chosen
who will stand by this policy against
all opposition and all persuasion For
that and for other reasons, the selec-
ton of "a new county board is one of
the most important duties to be per-
formed at the coming election. For
that reason the nominating of accept
able and trustworthy candidates at the
primaries is Indispensable. In reality
the main work for good roads or
against them will be done then and
there.
e lilo b e was the first TO cham
pion the cause of good roads in Ramsey
county. It has insisted, early and late,
since it, enlisted for this war, upon
genuine road Improvement. 1t is ready
to do all that is within it's power for
the success Of the campaign. It will
not violate its own principle by advo-
eating the selection Of certain eandi-
dates within the party at the pri-
maries, Because it does not believe that
this is properly within the province of
newspaper where the system of di-
rect nomination prevails.
The Clio b e has, however, in COM
mon with the other newspapers of St.
Paul, published the list of candidates
from the two parties indorsed by the
Good Roads association. This organi-
cation has come into being to promote
reaf'road improvement and is working
along the lines that we have followed
The candidates from both parties whom
it favors are understood to<have pledg-
ed their support to the cause. We know
| Of no reason why they should not re-
ceive the suffrages of their respective
| parties at the primaries. Good roads
are the first and biggest issue of all.
We hope to see Democrats nominated
for the Office of county commissioner
| who win not only make that secure
butt by their election, establish a new
rule of efficiency and intelligence where
| these qualities are so sorely needed.

DOWN WITH THE PLAcARps

In the interests Of decency in politics
let the custodians of the city hall and
court house remove forthwith the hun
dreds of placards with which the en-
trance, halls and elevators of the build
ing are now disfigured. afe
We are no great sticklers for the
dignity of government in its externals.
We do not require judges to wear dis~
tinctive robes, no mace bearer precedes
the mayor in his comings and goings,
the alderman is distinguished by NO
chafn-unless, indeed he happen to be
a Minneapolis alderman-but it is not

building as that occupied by the city

| Ramsey county to be used for the pic.
torial exploitation of the personal am
bitions of more or less worthy citizens.
1t is matter of very considerable
interest to the candidate himself and to
his friends that his picture and name
=
should be given publicity. There car
be no possible objection made to the
campaign card-except on grounds
which would not be likely to appeal tc
the candidate for office. But eandi-
dates for Office are very like other men.
They are not ordinarily distinguished
for. beauty; their attributes set forth
on a four by six card do not impress
the passerby. 1t may be admitted that
the campaign card is properly placed
In the netting that covers the mirror
behind the bar. But some limit should
be placed on the display of these cards.
1t would be senseless to attempt to
count the cards that disfigure the
halls and doorways of the court house.
They are not limited as to party and it
would appear that all of the candidates
| have so far overcome their native mod
esty and have sought the most prom-
inent places for the exhibition of their
presentments.
The cards should be removed for
many reasons. They detract from the
dignity of the building; they disfgure
the walls and they are altogether out
of place. Moreover, they cannot pos
sibiy influence the vote of any one oe
the habitues of the city hail. MeE
-.
who do business in the city hall are
not to be influenced by any such
| trif1ing argument as a picture ON a
card.
There are eigfty-five other reasons
| why campaign cards should be re-
moved from the walls of the city han,
but this last should suffice

What the Editors Say

John A. Johnson. of st. Peter, the
nominee for governor, is probably the
Wlsest choice that could have been
made. Mr.. Johnson has had expe-
rience as legislator, and is honest,
able and fearless. He will make a
clean, vigorous campaign, and If
elected, will make governor who
will do honor to the state. F. G.
Winston. the nominee for lieutenant
governor, is business man of Mime
apolIS, and has d clean and honorable
record. He has never been accused
of defrauding the government or any
body else. A vote for Johnson and

In nominating John A. Johnson, of

York is a good enough time card for
every party train on every party road
in the country. sThe outlook is good"
everywhere. New cheer has been in
fused into the Democratic heart by the
open revolt spreading all over the coun-
try against irresponsible government,
and especially against the corrupt ad-
ministration of public Office. Look at
the great departments at Washington,
more particularly the postoffice and the
interior. The lids have been screwed
down tight, lest the public should be
asphyxiated by the noisome gases
emitted by their foul contents Look
at the state of New York, where boss
yields to boss only to perpetuate vile

protest of honest Republicans has split
the party down the middle. Look at
Minnesota, where the party is con-
fronted with a colossal administrative.
scandal. Look at the indication of the
Maine elections, which shows that the
faithful are swarming back by tens of
thousands to the party standard. Give
us such ratio of increase in the DEM
ocratic vote as is there exhibited and
the country is ours.
