The New Orleans Home Rulers
are not doing much for Parker and
Davis and Democracy. They are
addressing their deluded follow
ers to stamp the monument and
let the national nominees go TO
sheol. When it is remembered
that some of these foremost Home
Rulers have been benefciaries.
both of the State and National
Democracy, their attitude in this
instance is hardly less than brazen
ingratitude.

eoopyEAR.s sPEEcH LAST NIGHT

The address OF Col c. P Goodyear.
bsfore the Mems club last night On the
question of the Importance Of trade
with Porto Rico and other islands to
the south of US. was an able effort and
contained some facts and figures that
should attract the attention Of the
people Of the city Of Brunswick
We would like to reproduce this
strong discourse, for it is one Of the
best pieces Of industrial data we have
heard in many years. However. it is
impossible just at this time, and we
can only say that Col, Goodyear has
studied the subject very closely and
his speech last night would easily con
vince the worst skeptics that the trade
with the Windward islands is one Of
the proposed new industries, that If
successful, would make Brunswick the
most progressive port on the South AZ
lanHc.
It would drive our commerce skyward
and as that is the one great industry
in Brunswick. it would mean increased
prosperity in every other branch Of
business in the city.
Really we desire to impress upon
tho business men, the laborers, tire
capitalists and in fact every kind and
condition Of Brunswick's citzenry the
importance Of this great movement
which It seems, is just now catching
the attention Of our people generally.
ut is indeed a great opportunity; one
lof those that come not twice in life
thine and we hope the people Of Bruins
wick will see the importance Of the
work and aid II in every way possible
IN this connection, we think the
FIRST work to be done along this line.
rs to bring the matter properly to the
Iattention Of the people Of Brunswick
Iand we know Of no better way Of ae.
complishing this, than to have the
speech Of Col. Goodyear delivered
last night, put in book form and sent
broadcast over the city. we there.

SUE.

The New York democratic platform
avoid issues on which the party is d.
lie-@t .,aatse,,,,, .sf1i
have to do the same thing II the demo
cratic candidate is to have any chance
Of winning. No man need be asked to
give up his views on any subject
No man need be called on to violate
his conscience. The only question IS
will the democrats try to do the many
things on which they agreed and try
with reasonable hope of success, or
fight each other on points on which
they do not agree. and go into cam
paign with the certainty of failure be
fore them
The New York platform begins BY
including respect for law and opposi-
.tion to usurpation of the powers Of
one branch Of the government BY au
other branch. President Roosevelt
win certainly be the republican can
didate. His candidacy will make this
d vital issue--the vital issue. He has
abandoned tradition, has thrown aside
law, has known no rule Of conduct
above his own will.
OF course the republicans will deny
this: President Roosevelt's record is
before the people and the people will
Judge it intelligently mot all OF them
influenced by party bias. The demo
cratic party when united has been the
majority party 50 far as the popular
vote is concerned. Beginning with
1876. it polled popular majority at
each presidential election, except that
Of 1880 until 1896. when it divided
and met defeat. The majority Of the
American people viii not support a
ticket because it is labelled "repub-
lean"
They will decide whether President
Roosevelt has eonaned his Official acts
within his legal powers. They know
whether they wish a man in the white
House who will transcend his powers,
We believe the majority will see the
danger to republican Institutions inI
choosing as presidnet one who ar
rogates to himself powers the Law
does not confer.
President Rooseveits administration
has made the issue which will most
interest the people. Conventions max,
platforms, but popular sentmnet Sc
lects the parts that are 10 be the is
sues OF the fight. The democrats
could not wish a better issue than that
made by President RooseveIts person.
ality. on that issue the party is en-
tirely united and is lighting ir defense
OF the institutions that the fathers
handed down to US.
