Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1904-10-19

Three more weeks to election! Com
ing events cast their shadows before.
and the great Republican victory that
will take place on November s has
been foreshadowed by signal Republi-
can victories in Oregon last June. and
IN Vermont and Maine last September.
The town elections in Connecticut
showed that in the United States there
has been no change adverse to the Re-
pnblicans. New York will be close.
but the balance of probabilities there
is still in favor Of Roosevelt. This is
a year, however. in which the Repu-
blicans are not absolutely dependent
on New York in order to win.
In no state and under no circum-
stances, can republicans afford to neg
lect the work needed to ensure the

What IL Means.

In this campaign are the questions
at Issue to be vague congratulations
or practical business propositions af-
fecting the interests of every man,
rich or poor? The utterances of the
Democratic takers thus far would in
dictate that the Democratic party pro-
poses to proceed largely along the
lines Of generalization. They make
broad and sweeping assertion that the
Republican party is standing for ideas
and policies that are inimical to the
best interests of the country.
But they don't specify. They are
neither specific in their charges
against the Republicans or in their
promises to the country on their own
behalf,
How is it with the Republicans?
They have plain and definite plat
form, they have stuck to it and are
explaining it daily to the voters
There is nothing new strange or start
ling in their programme. On the
contrary they are proposing only to
maintain their record already estab-
ished and which the country well IN
derstands because it has endorsed it
and sustained it in successive elections.
Take the congressional campaign.
for instance. Every voter who has
voted in any one Of the elections since
the one which chose the ffty-fourth
congress knows exactly what he is
voting for this time. If he was one
of the majority class who sustained
the Republicans he ought to have not
to be told what the questions are this
time
But in this election it is evident
that the Republicans may hope to have
accessions to their ranks. Business
men, farmers, professional men, labor
er5 and in fact all classes are likely to
contrast the vagne congratulations Of
the Democrats with the precise and
definite policies of the Republicans.
What does the reelection of Repu
blican House of Representative mean?
It means that the protective tariff
under which the business of this coun-
try has prospered amazingly in ten
years will not be cast aside for free
trade.
1t means that no assault upon the
financial system which has conserved
the interests of every man who has
one dollar IN his possession can be
successful.
1t means that the Philippine policy
which the people of this country have
adopted will continue to be carried out
and that it's benefcient results can be
continued.
1t means that there will be har-
monious congress, capable of legis-
lating in wise AND practical fashion.

polling of the full Republican vote.
It is not the number of men who
throw up their hats for a candidate
but the number who deposit their bal
lots for him on election day, that de-
termines whether he or his opponent
shall win the honors and the fruits Of
victory.
Therefore, Notwithstanding the
cheerful outlook it behooves Republi-
cans heartily desiring the success of
Roosevelt and Fairbanks. to take such
measures as are requisite to the devel-
opment and maintenance Of the en-
thusiasm necessary to bring out the
Evening Wisconsin.

Don't Trust Party That Can't Trust
ItcQif

don't trust party that can t trust
itself" This is the crisp advice of
Secretary Wilson, the hard headed
farmer member Of the Cabinet The
Democrats have not trusted them
selves since the beginning of the Civil
war They have been lodging their
past mistakes ever since their leaders
plunged the country into that awful
fratricidal strife nearly half cen curry
ago by trying to destroy the Union
and set up a government Of their own.
They were not able to hold Democrats
to that program then and they have
been unable to hold them TO any spe-
ciic program or policy since that day.
They have every four years tried to
get away from the platform of the pre-
ceding campaign and have so discre-
dited themselves in their own eyes that
they can now agree on nothing except
the desire to secure control of the
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1904-10-19
WEDNESDAY, October 10, 1904.

Despite the factional fight in the
Republican party, indications point to
Republican victory in the state.
Democratic leaders are really be
coming alarmed over the tendency of
an element of their party to vote the
Republican ticket, and extraordinary
efforts are being made to keep the
party in line.

Federal Government.

Federal Government.
Judge Parker does not trust his
party and his party does not trust him.
He says the ST. Louis platform is an
excellent one and then he interprejs
that platform as no delegate in The
convention ever dreamed of interpre-
ting it. The ''imperialism" the demo-
cratic convention denounced was sup
posed to be in the Philippines, but
Judge Parker after three efforts to
interpret that plank gives it up and
criticises Imperialism in purely ex-
ecutive act here at hone which no
one dreamed Of being unconstitutional
until the Judge made the discovery as
q good way out of his former blunder
ings in trying to give Interpretation to
that plank.
The Democratic leaders do not agree
upon the tariff but a majority Of the
party as representa- in Congress do
agree that protection is ''robberyn and
unconstitutional and they will control
the policy of the party on that question
now as they have always controlled it.
There were many Northern Democrats
in the St. Louis convention who
desired to keep out this old free trade
doctrine but they were overruled by the
Southern delegates. Judge Parker
has tried to apologize for this tariff
plank by saying that he and his party
cannot destroy the Dingley Law even
if he should be elected President and a
Democratic House chosen. for there
would still be a Republican Senate to
act as brake on Democratic irrespon
sibility and save the country from its
mistake at the polls.
Northern Democrats who know the
value of protection and the fateful
blight of free trade, regret the folly
of their Southern leaders out Ihey can
not help themselves except by doing
as they did in 1861 when they supper
ted the policy of Lincoln and helped
him fight the war for the Union; as
they did after the war when they re-
fused to endorse the Democratic policy
Of Reputation; as they did later when
they supported the republican party
of resumption; as they did in 1894
when they helped elect an overwhel
ming Republican majority in the house
to chain the hands of the Cleveland
Administration and prevent further
mischief by free trade legislation, and
as they did in 1896 and again in 1900
when they united with Republicans TO
defeat Bryan and free silver.
