The Flag should Net Come Down

Among the reasons given by John
.. George, lifelong Democrat and
= nephew Of the late Governor r. p.
Flower, OF New York, for declaring
bis intention to vote for President
Roosevelt, is this:
The Democratic leaders are making
speeches against so-called militarism
and Imperialism. and they are demand
Ing that the Philippine Islands be given
up and abandoned, so far as the guar
dlanship OF the United States is con-
cerned. ] do not believe that the Amer
lean flag should ever come down from
any pole that 1t Is once raised upon.

Praise from a Dsmooratio Nswspaper.

The New York Times. one OF the
Democratic newspapers which has
been denouncing President Roosevelt's
Philippine policy, recently printed an
editorial leader on the settlement OF
the Friars' land question. The article
concludes: 1t il creditable both to the
intelligence and the humanity of the
government" liz the Times was less
partisan 1t could truthfully say that
every act of the Roosevelt adminis-
tration In dealing with the Philippine
question was creditable to the United
States.

Candltlate ana PIatforrn.

This years presidential election will
not be won by any formal platform.
The Republican platform Is good, but
the Republican candidate is better.
The truth Is Mr.. Roosevelt IL the real
platform for both parties. He Is the
main point OF attack by the Demo-
Gratis and the main source OF strength
for the Republicans. He would be
elected without any platform except
the record of the party and his own.

Parker and the Trusts.

Trust magnates having furnished
the funds to carry on Parker's cam
paign, will now be relegated to the
rear. However, Cord Meyer OF the
sugar trust and other representatives
OF grasping corporations have such a
hold on the Democratic candidate that
they will continue to control him.
Their RELOCATION to the rear is merely
. "blind" to deceive the people. When
Parker visited New York he told his
managers he did not wish his remarks
on the trusts ''queered," and that dur
ing the remainder of the campaign the
magnates who have been parading and
Jubilating oyer his nomination should
be less open In their demonstrations
OF Joy. He further said he could not
get close to the people as long as the
trust magnates openly shouted for
him. What the Judge meant was that
bis wealthy sponsors should keep
dark" until after election, when they
could come to the front again.
