Federalists sympathized with Eng
land, while the Republicans Tor Anti
Federalists) favored the French, and
being in power, under the presidency
of Mr.. Madison, declared war with
England In 1912, a measure which the
Federalists violently opposed. Dur
ing the political excitement Of this
period, the Republicans were sneer-
ingly referred to by their opponents
as Democrats. The name, given as
a reproach was soon adopted, and the
party of Jefferson and Jackson called
itself Democratic-Re Republican, and it's
members we're usually called Demo-
Gratis. Mr. Jefferson preferred the
title of Republican, but it was gradu-
ally dropped, while Democrat was re-
tanned. This party remained in
power with two short Interruptions,
until 1860, when it was defeated by
the stand it took on the question Of
slavery. 1t attained its greatest
prestige during the administration Of
jackson.
The early Federalists adopted the
designation Of National Republicans
early in the last century, and some
years later Of Wings. In the effort to
elect Mr.. Fremont, the Whig party,
enforced by a large number Of free
soil democrats and abolitionists,
adopted the name Republican. The
Republican party of today is the out
growth of the early Federalist party,
differing in no important essential
save as conditions connected with the
growth and development Of the
country have made changes necessary.
Technically speaking, Judge Collins
is right when he says that Thomas
jefferson was the founder OF the Re
publican" party, but the Republican
party founded by Thomas Jefferson
long ago became the Democratic
party, and we fancy If Thomas we're
alive today he would find it difficult
task to gain the Presidential election
on the strength Of his particular
brand Of 'Republicanism."
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1906-03-16
OUTLINES HIS POSITION
Platform of II. M. Cake, Republican
Candidate for United States
Senator.

Hon. II. M. Cake, Of Portland, candi-
date for the nomination for United
States Senator at the direct primary
election, has announced his platform,
as follows:
I believe the public service corpora
tions should be subject to governmental
regulations and control. The power
Of regulation should be vested in the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
and should be exercised with due re-
gard to the respective rights Of the
people and the corporation.
Trusts or combinations of capital
organized for the purpose of control
ling the utilities and necessities Of the
country, to the exclusion CT Legitimate
competition, are contrary to public
policy in derogation to the rights of
the people, and should come under the
ban Of the law.
/ believe in preserving the dignity
of our American citizenship, and the
freedom Of the laboring classes of this
country, hence 1 am opposed to the
admission of the Chinese coolie labor
of China, and the undesirable classes
Of Continental Europe.
The growing commerce demands
the deepening of the bar Of the
Columbia river, the construction of
the Dalles-C Cello canal; the opening
Of the upper Columbla the improve
ment Of Coos Bay, Tillamook and
Yaquina harbors the dredging Of the
Willamette and the governmento owner
ship Of the looks at Oregon, City and
Federal appropriations should be
made, securing these improvements.
A tariff should be maintained for
the protection of American industries
and American labor. Where, how
ever, the necessity for protection is re-
moved by the growth and development
of particular industry, the tariff
should be modified to meet the
changed conditions.
The reclamation OF the arid lands
is one Of the pressing needs Of the
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1906-03-16

lieve that he was instrumental in
securing the adoption Of a number
of amendments to that document,
particularly the Tenth Amend ment, in
17S9-91. This latter amendment, which
set forth one of Jefferson's cherished
doctrines, reads as follows:
'The powers not delegated to the
United States by the Constitution, nor
prohibited by it to the States, are
reserved to the States respectively, or
to the people,"
Judge Collins statement that Jeffer-
son was appointed Minister to France
in 1784 is incorrect. In May of that
year, Jefferson and others were sent
to Europe under general power to
make commercial treaties, and it was
not until March, 1885, that he was ap-
pointed to succeed Franklin at the
French court In 1889 he returned TO
the United States and under Wash
ington became the first secretary of
state.
Hardly was Jefferson In Office be-
fore he was recognized as the Re
publican afterwards Democratic)
leader, while Alexander Hamilton was
at the head of the Federalists.
Hamilton favored a strong federal
government. Jefferson stoutly in
sisted upon state sovereignty and
the greatest practicable limitation
of the federal power, hence the reason
for the popular belief that he wrote
the article Of the Constitution above
quoted.
The term "Democrat" was used in
American politics as early as 1889,
and was then synonymous with Gre
publican" and "Anti- Federalist.
During the French Revolution and
the wars which succeeded it. the
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1906-03-16
WAS A REPUBLICAN
Party of Jefferson, However, Is Not
the Republican Party of
Today.

DALLAS, Or, March 10. ITO the
Editor Allow me to correct histor-
ical error, which I first noticed iu the
editorial columns of the Oregon States
man, and find copied in your issue of
yesterday, as follows:
''In fact, if history tells truly, the
founder of the democratic party and
the man to whom that party points
with a great deal Of pride, that is to
say, Thomas Jefferson, was one Of the
men who wrote and framed the consti-
tuition Of the United States which set
forth the present plan of electing
United States Senators etc., etc"
On the 7th of May, 1884, Jefferson
was appointed minister to France, and
arrived In Paris on that mission,
August 3rd Of that year He did not
return to America till September, 1889,
soon after Washington was elected
President under the constitution,
which was framed in 1887. Jefferson
never wrote word of the constitution,
nor did he take any part in the con-
vention which framed it. On the
contrary, it did not, at first, meet his
approval. He declared that he "did
not know whether the good, or the bad
in it predominated." Subsequently
he thought more favorably Of it, as
he studied it more thoroughly, and
took part in its practical workings.
The other error is that he was the
founder Of the democratic party. The
fact Is, Jefferson was the founder Of
the REPUBLICAN PARTY; and was proud
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1906-03-16

of it as long as he lived. He was the
first man who. ever, 10 a public docu-
ment, mentioned our government as
a Republic; for which he was proud to
receive the marked commendation of
General Washington on the 23d day
of May, 1898. About this time there
we're certain democratic societies"
formed in the United States under the
auspices of Genet, the French minister
to this country and because Jefferson
strongly sympathized with the Re-
publicans, and against the Monarch
lists, in the French Revolution, he was
accused of favoring these organiza-
tions, and encouraging them; which
he denied. He was known, and
designated, as the leader of the Re-
publican party.
The organization of the Democratic
Party" as a national political party,
in the United States, first took place
at Baltimore in February, 1885, when
Martin VanBuren was nominated for
President. Thomas jefferson died
July 4, 1926, nearly nine years before
the organization of the Democratic
party, in the United States. VanBuren
was the real father of the Democratic
party; but as he was beaten for re-
election, by the Wing candidate,
General Harrison, it became un-
popular to refer to him as the father
Of the Democratic party; and his
followers fell back on Jefferson and
Jackson, as the paternal ancestors Of
the Democratic party both of whom
however. we're elected to the Presidency
as Republicans. This last assertion
will, probably, take away the breath
Of Latter Day" Democrats till after
they have given a little study to the
political "ancient history" Of this
country.
