The Democrat-sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1906-1935, 1906-09-06

this latest one may have been
stolen from the priceless collection
of campaign slogans, left as a
legacy, to the Republican party,
by Mark Hanna.
There is no denying the fact
that catchy campaign phrases have
been instrumental, in the past, in
Turing victory to perch on the ban
ner of the party adopting them.
In that memorable campaign of
1896 Republican campaign orators
lulled the public concience to sleep
by ringing the changes on the
campaign slogan preserves the
National Honor" Yet as mat
ter of history an investigating
committee, appointed by the Leg
islature of the state of New York,
last year developed the astounding
fact that the managers of the
great life insurance companies of
the nations metropolis, and who
were the ldudest howlers for the
preservation of the national honor
were ac that very time stealing the
funds entrusted to their care for
m f,f Sn,t1 ri
orphans of their policy holders and
contributing hundreds of thou
sands of dollars to the campaign
funds of the National Republican
committee, by whom it was being
used to corrupt the electorate of
the Uuited States and defeat the
will of the common people.
The patriot saint of the Repub-
lican party, but who, if living to-
day, would not recognize the party
of his founding, said something to
the effect that all the people can
not be fooled all the time. 1t is
altogether possible that the "stren-
uous one" and our sly Uncle Joe
may learn later that the voters of
this nation will refuse longer to be
put to sleep on allopathic doses of
stand patism while the captains
of industry" are stealing their
patrimony.
Richard L. Metcalf of Commoner
and one of the brightest editors in
this nation, has rendered the peo-
pie great service by carefully
analyzing the latest campaign
Shibboleth "Stand by Roosevelt. "
IF we are to stand by Roosevelt
asks Mr.. Metcalf, "by which Roo
sevelt shall we stand"
BY the Roosevelt who called the
trust magnates captains of indus

owe a debt of gratitude? Or the
Roosevelt who likened them to
masters of cunning whose disposi-
tion toward wrong-doIng must be
"shackled," as in the past we
have shackled force2
By the one who called the Demo-
cratic platform adopted at Chicago
"anarchy" because of it's criticism
of the courts? Or the one who
publicly reprimanded Federal
Judge Humphrey for his decision
in the Beef trust cases, and ex-
pressed the hope that his example
would not be initiated by other
occupants of the bench2
BY the one who insisted, as in
the Beef trust cases, that the men
of flesh and blood, rather than the
soulless corporation, be held ame-
nable to the law? Or the one who,
in the Paul Morton case, laid down
the doctrine ehat the corporation,
rather than the individual, should
be held2
BY the one who said: "Political
economists have pretty generally
agreed that protection is vicious
in principle and harmful in con-
part of the rank and file
of his party demand that the
tariff be revised in order that the
shelter the trusts find therein, may
be destroyed?
BY the one who permitted it to
be understood that he endorsed
Secretary Taft's order that the
Panama Canal supplies be pur-
chased abroad, il such course
were necessary to protect the
from extortion? Or
the one who bought for the canal
service two American ships of 500
