A CURIOUS CONTROVERSY

YOUNG DEMOCRATS
Those whs Voted for Mckinley Prob.
ably Will Support Roosevelt.
(Sansas City Star, Independent.)

(lSan6as City Star, Independently
Some allowances must be made, of
course, for the optimistic representations
of politicians at the approach of every
great election. 1t is q part of the game
to manifest confidence, even il the policy
of Claiming everything" has been dis
credited by the best political managers.
But the declaration that, according to
more or less careful canvasses. those
young Democrats who bolted Bryan and
voted for Mckinley will remain in the
Republican party, is quite plausible.
Those old Democrats In whom the party
spirit is still strong in spite of the trying
alignment of the Democracy four and
eight years ago. may be expected to re-
turn to the fold pretty generally this
year; but there is nothing except parti-
san feeling to draw them, and this does
not exist to any great extent among the
younger generation, especially among
those who have already broken over the
lines to vote for Republican Presi-
dent.
Indeed, President Roosevelt appeals
with especial force to the young men of
the nation. Considering his achieve
ments, he. is still a young man himself.
He Is an intimate sympathy with the
spirit of early manhood. He Is vigorous
In mind and body, and is active in both.
He II strongly progressive. His leader
ship has been inspiring to all classes,
but more especially to those in whom
ambition is assertive. His policies ap-
peal forcefully to those who would make
n stronger and better nation. He stands
for those reforms that are regarded as
essential to the perpetuity of personal
liberty and civic righteousness. ,.t.
The belief that President Rposevelt in
his splendid fufllment Of an obligation
assumed as a result Of accident, has earn
ed an election at the hands Of the people
he has served, is especially strong in the
hearts OF the younger generation of vot-
era

SECOND TERM QUESTION.
Roosevelt's Claim to the Presidency ,
Stronger thnn Any Other Mana

(Kansas City Times, Independently
II President Roosevelt had been elect
ed to the office he now occupies, Judge
Parker's declaration that, il chosen Pres
ident, he would not be a candidate for
reelection, might have some special
weight in the present canvass among
those who are believers in the one-term
principle. But President Roosevelt came
into office by accident. He was made
Vice President against his personal
wishes and political judgment. He was
duty bound and he voluntarily pledged
himself to carry out, so far as possible.
the policies of his predecessor. II he
has done well, he is especially entitled
to the votes of the people. Under the
circumstances his claim to the presidency
is stronger than that of any ordinary
candidate could be- for il he has faith
fully fulfilled the office to which he was
called by accident, he should be honored
with the same office by election. His
present incumbency of the presidential
post should at least serve as n reliable
probationary service. 1t is for the peo-
pie to answer to his administration, for
If it has been equal to or above the aver
age, or satisfactory generally, he has
stronger claims than any other man
could have, for he asks an Endorsement
where another would ask for a trust.
And this is the way the country is likely
to look Mt the situation. President Roose-
welt has made himself tremendously
strong with the masses. He has con-
vinced the nation of his honesty, courage
and capacity. He has pleased vastly
more Democrats than he has offended Re
publcians. And both the admiration he
las aroused on the one hand and the en-
nifty he has engendered on the other are
tributes to his virtue and motives.

EDUCATION IN POLITICS.
Parker Talks of 1t, but Reiiss on tho
Strength of Tsmma
Judge Parker says this: XII

Judge Parker says this:
"Wheuever n great question of public
Importance has arisen, II has been pre-
scented and champoned through the press
and OH the rostrum by the educated
thinkers of the country. who.. for the
time being. are the real leaders, and
under whose banners the organization
leaders hasten to marshal their forces
lest their power shall be overthrown."
What Judge Parker has said above
Is true and right aud sensible. But
what, after the expression Of such an
opinion, is Judge Parker's course? 1t Il
very true that the educated thinkers
of the country should conduct the af'
fairs of the country. But what Is Judge
Parker doing2 Upon what and whom
does Judge Parker rely for carrying the
State of New York; one Of the States,
the influence of whose electoral votes il
great in the results of the Presidential
campaign. He relies upon MI un- n-Amer'
lean combination known as Tammany
Hall. 1t Is absolutely impossible that
the man could hope to carry his own
State without the aid Of this most cor
rupt organization, in the greatest city
of the country-an organization that mas

Deen NCcepteu ih uh SA'beh'is'' ~ 49,
Democratic party, which. to the credit OF
that party, is II little above Tammany.
How ridiculous. under the c;rcum'
stances, is the attitude of the more OF
less qualified jurist who lives in ESQ
nus! Think of man who even talks
of the influence of the educated man in
politics and who at the same time must
depend entirely for his success, in the
Stnte of New York. upon conglomera'
tion of the most uneducated and vicious
elements ever gathered together in the
making of political pool in great
city. 1t is hard to say it, but Mr.. Park
er cannot even afford to be respectable
in his explanations. He cannot afford
to talk about educated people or about
educated influence back of him, or about
all that is good and brond aud cult
waited bnck of him because. without
Tammany back of him in his own State
he has not the shadow of a hope, and
Tammnny is the worst force there is
politically discredit to the country.
This is the nub of the thing. This is
the statement of the thing. II this re-
spectacle jurist up in Esopus prctends to
say that the educated human beings in
this country can. under nny circum-
stances, be with him, why, necessarily,
he must cut himself away from Tam
many. But politically he cannot afford
to cut himself away from Tammany-
pnd there you are! One almost sympa-
thizes with the nliddlc-aged gentleman at

SLY OLD DAVID.
Unique Position Now Occupied by
Judge Parker's Manager.

Unique Position Now Occupied by
Jadzs Parker's Manager.
1t is not often that a political leader
finds it necessary to promise his party
associates that he will keep out Of ofice
and be unrepresented in the councils of
his friends in case of the success of his
own nominee. This unique performance
has been exempli6ed by the Mephisto-
pheles of the Democratic party, David
Bennett Hill.
The effect is rather grotesque. 1t is
much as IL the king of the nursery rhyme
were to declare that he would not, in
any case. taste of the pie, after the four
and twenty blackbirds had been caught,

iy retiring into private life as soon as he
has seen his party triumphant in the fall
elections.
1t Is grotesque position, that of the
Wolfer's Roost politician. To gain his
ends he promises to keep out of all par
ticipation in the results he is working for.
1t must have been at some cost in self
respect that this SOP was given to the
more respectable wing of the New York
Democracy, men who will not train with
Hill, and who do not scrupls to say 30.
But with those at whom the shot was
aimed Hills promise will avail nothing.
They know the man. He has no friends.
nor has he any enemies who believe in
him. except as to his limitless power for
evil politics in whatever he undertakes.
1t ID quite probable that he will retire
from politics before the first Of January.
1905, but 1t will be, not by his own voli-
ton, but because of the defeat of his
party at the polls in the preceding No
vsmber.
