Unsduifersted Democratic Principles.

state (such in particular as sold their
independence TO the stalwarts) pos
ing usually as spokesman OF the safe
and sane democratic party, have
been indulging in castle building
with view of befuddling the public
by charging every evil and fraud
known to exist to the party in power
and picturing In rainbow hues the
conversion of our country into "A
heaven Oh earth ii only the demo-
cratic party were once more installed
into office; only once more.
All loyal Americans believe in and
clamor for pure, unadulterated de-
mocrucy such as Washington, Adams
Jefferson, Lincoln and some others
manfully upheld, and which Roose-
welt, Deneen, Folk, LaFollette, Cum
Minis and several lesser but equally
earnest citizens OF the present day
are actively contending for. But
in such democracy and the demo
cratic party known OF by the people
of today there is au unreasonable
difference. The rolling back of his
torys curtain proves this fact. With
all its favorable opportunities when
did the democratic party. since the
passing of our founders OF indie
pendence from its control, ever prove
itself "safe and sane or even n BEN
eft to the country? And what, pray
tell. would have been the result If
the republican or some other party
founded on genuine democratic prin-
ciples had not appeared in the po-
litical arena, just prior to the civil
war, and taken the reins Of govern
ment from the fioundering demo-
cratic party? The people have given
this safe and sane" party chance or
two since that bloody strife to prove
the claim, with results very discour-
aging to lovers OF the welfare of our
country and of her people
The republican party was founded
seemingly by Providence in an hour
of need, as was the democratic party
and on precisely the same principles,
which Abraham Lincoln, the chosen
standard bearer, preached and prac-
tsced with such force and good re.
suits that they are handed down to
the present generation as Lincoln
democracy. But true, too true, like
those who brought the democratic
party into disgrace, some men Of
recent years who have posed as ban
ner- bearers and leaders of the repub-
lican party, and been honored with
positions Of trust, have fallen from
grace and besmeared the good name
of the party.
TO their shame, these same papers
referred to herein as now "whooping
her up" for safe and sane" democ-
racy, az recent as last fall, pulled
with all possible might to keep in
power this backsliding republican
clique-backsliding from the simple
and country preserving princi lles
OF "a government % the people. by
the people, and for the people, for
those Of corporation supremacy and
personal gain II honest i'm their
display OF desire for government
by and for the people, which is pure
and undefiled democracy, these pa
pers could not nor would not have
supported the plutocratic, rule or
ruin element as they did last sum-
mer and fall, even forsaking their
own party nominees to 80 do.

Between 1900 and 1900 Delegates Are

Cheers
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
| ROANOKE, Va, Aug. S.-One of the
largest Republican conventions in the
history of Virginia met here today tc
nominate full state ticket. Between
1900 and 1900 delegates were present. II
was almost exclusively white mans
meeting, there being very few negroes
| in the hall.
Congressman Campbell Slemp, the
only Republican congressman from Vir-
ginia, was introduced to the convention
tonight and he in turn introduced Sec
retary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw,
who had been invited to come to Roam
Shaw was greeted with storm of
cheers.
| Secretary Shaw made some reference
| to self-government, saying that when
this republic was launched the world
was distrustful of the experiment.
MANY believed" he said, that per-
sonal ambition would override states
manship They did not believe 1t would
be possible for men to walk side by
side to the polls and deposit ballots and
then each demand for the other the
same protection and the same honesty
of count that he claimed for himself.
| It was doubted If defeated candidates
and defeated parties would peacefully
acquiesce in the results. The exDer1-
ment has been in process of trial and
development in this country for some
thing over 100 years, during which
period the machinery has sometimes
creaked, but it has not given away and
it never will so long as we keep our
heads.
| my appeal to you and through you
to every voter of Virginia is that you
so vote as to conserve the peace and
integrity of the commonwealth and the
best interests of every other citizen.
All ask is that the electoral vote be
as great, certainly as conscientious and
as true talesman at the polls as one
demanded his representative to be in
the halls of legislation" -
The secretary touched upon the
growth and development of the United
States and of Virginia's resources. Con-
cerning Virginia he said:
"Virginia is a great state. Virginia
is rich in resources, rich in history,
rich in blood and at one time she was
the richest of all the states in states
manship. If her wealth of statesman
ship has been less noticeable in recent
years than in previous periods, let me
assure you that it is because greater
stress has been laid on factional politics
than upon the wise solution of public
questions. If Virginia has not main
tained her prestige 1t is because the
factional devotion to traditions has
supplanted that thoughtful considera-
tion of public questions which marked
the career OF the fathers.
At the conclusion of Mr.. shaw's ad-
dress the convention adjourned until
tomorrow.

NEW YORK MILITIAMEN
SUE UNITED STATES

BY Associated Press.
ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. S.-Henry c. S.
Hastings. William B. Coates and
about thirty other members of the
First regiment, New York infantry
volunteers. have sued the United States
government for two months pay for
services in the Hawaiian islands during
the Spanish-American war.
Testimony in their cases was taken
here today by special commissioner.
The government holds that the regi-
ment was given a furlough for sixty
days, but the evidence given before
Commissioner Sturgis today went to
show that the members of the regiment
performed military duty during the en-
tire period of the alleged furlough.

DETROIT. Mich, Aug. S.-Barney
Oldfield had an almost miraculous es-
cape from death this afternoon at the
automobile races at Crosse Point track,
when Dan Wurgis of Lansing, Mich,
collided with his car in the three-quar-
ters stretch during the first mile of the
five-mile open event. Oldfield and his
car went through the fence into the
infield and Oldfield received badly
1acerated scalp and a severely bruised
right arm. Wurgis' car also went off
the track on the outside, but did not
capsize, and neither car nor driver was
injured.
Oldfeld lay unconscious in the infield
when dozen Mortified spectators
reached his side. He was carried to an
ambulance which had been provided
in fear of accidents and taken to Har
per hospital, where it was said tonight
that barring entirely unforeseen devel-
opments he would be out in few days.
