Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1908-10-14
CHAIRMAN MACK CONFIDENT.

| Willis j. Abbot in the Chicago Tri-
bune says the following concerning
the campaign.
| The last month of the presidential
campaign opens with vim and vfgor.
will not quote the famous motto of
Senator Foraker in full. 1t was vim,
vigor and victory" that pushed him
to the front. Now that he has been
violently kicked out of the republi-
can organization doubt whether the
last word remains part of the maxim
Victory will this time be inscribed
upon the democratic banners.
Chairman Norman E. Mack return
ed from New York yesterday to COM
plete the campaign at the national
headquarters in Chicago. Said Mr..
Mack: "The state of New York was
never in such good shape for the
democratic ticket as it is today. We
are going to have another experience
like that of 1892. do not know one
prominent democrat in the Empire
state or in the states bordering up
on it who is not enlisted heart and
soul in the Bryan campaign today.
Says Republicans Are Split.
"As opposed to this situation the
republicans in New York, as in other
states. are sadly split up in their or
ganization.
New York is normally democrat
ic state. 1t has never failed to give
a swinging democratic majority ex-
cept at sometime when the demo-
Gratis were thoroughly divided among
themselves. This year they are thor
oughly united. Consider the enor-
nous vote that carried Cleveland in
to the office of governor. 1t was
built upon conditions which almost
exactly parallel those of today. At
that time president attempted to
dominate the New York republican
organization and ticket The organic
alton resented it and the ticket went
down in defeat.
President Roosevelt has not been
content with forcing upon the repub-
lican national ticket the man whom
he hopes to have for his success
or, but he has compelled an unwill-
ing body of New York republicans
to nominate Hughes for governor"
Says Harrison Forced His Defeat.
And now again let me cit little
history. In 1892 at the Minneapolis
convention of the republican party
the officeholders by the direction of
the then president, Benjamin Harri
son, forced his denomination. What
happened as a result was his defeat
by most overwhelming majority.
This year the condition is almost
parallel. President Roosevelt, Z it is
true did not renominate himself.
though his son-in-law has promised
l.that honor to him in 1916. But he did
lpick out the man whom he hopes to
have succeed him. Therefore, the re.
publican party this year is in exact
ly the position it was in 1892; it has
a candidate whom it did not choose,
But who was chosen for it by pow
er greater than the party-namely:
the president, who controls the pro-
fitable jobs
John Hays Hammond, one of the
chief members of the Guggenheim
smelter trust and man reported to
receive the biggest salary paid any
one IN the world, has become presi-
dent of the Republican League Of
Clubs. Furthermore, Mr.. Hammond
is going on the stump for Mr.. Taft
Calls Hammond a Trust Servant.
Guggenheim is at the head of the
most oppressive trust which bears up
on the interest of the miners, the
prospectors, and the workingmen OF
the great west. The Guggenheim
domination over that particular
branch of American industry is as
complete as that of the Standard Oil
company over it's chosen field. The
Standard Oil company controls one
resource given by nature to man
namely: petroleum: the Guggenheim
trust controls the deposits of precious
metals deposited by kindly nature in
the earth for the good of all.
Mr.. Hammond is the paid servant
of the Guggenheim trust and natural
ly the president of National League
of Republican Clubs and speaker
for Judge Taft. This in itself is suf-
ficiently curious. Mr.. Guggenheim is
a republican senator of the United
States and is also actively engaged
in this republican presidential cam
