Rolls for Primaries

Complete returns from the registrars
Office show that 55.43S voters are on
the rolls for the primary election OF
August IL. The showing made by the
burned districts is particularly good,
and indicates the rapid increase in
population in those sections. The big
gest registration is in the thirty-ninth
with the thirty-seventh a close second.
The following table gives for pur-
poses OF comparison. the registration

have pointed out that the attitude
of the republican party with reference
to evils which have crept in due
to the enormous material expansion
of this country is to continue the
Roosevelt policies of progress and reg
ulation, while the attitude of the demo-
cratic party under its present leader
ship is the change for the sake of
change to the point OF irresponsible
destruction. and that there is no hope
whatever of restoration of prosperity
in returning it to power. As said in
our platform, We republicans go before
the country asking the support not
only of those who acted with us here
tofore, but of all our fellow citizens
who, regardless of past political differ
ences, unite in the desire to maintain
the policies, perpetuate the blessings
and make secure the achievements of a
greater America.

THE RIGHTS AND PROGRESS
OF THE NEGRO

The republican platform refers to
those amendments to the constitution
that were passed by the republican
party for the protection of the negro.
The negro in the 40 years since he was
freed from slavery has made remark
able progress. He is becoming more
and more a valuable member of the
communities in which he lives. The
education of the negro is being ex-
panded and improved in every way.
The best men of both races, at the
north as well as the south, ought to
rejoice to see growing up among the
southern people an influential element
disposed to encourage the negro in his
hard struggle for industrial indepen-
dence and assured political status. The
republican platform adopted at Chi
cago explicitly demands justice for all
men without regard to race or color,
and just as explicitly declares for the
enforcement and without reservation,
in letter and in spirit. of the thir-
teenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments to the constitution. 1t is need
less TO state that I stand with my party
squarely on that plank in the plat
form, and believe that equal justice to
all men and the fair and impartial en-
forcement of these amendments is in
keeping with the real American spirit
Of fair play.

and expenditures of the government
have been nearly equal, some years
showing a surplus and others, fewer in
number, a deficit. Taking one year with
another, including this spring, there has
been an average surplus. The surplus
last year, for instance. was greater
than the deficit this year, so that, in
fact, under the present administration
there has been no deficit, but a surplus
which is actually in the treasury
The democratic platform nowhere
points out the expenditures which
might be reduced or avoided 1t would
be found generally that in the cases
which have occurred democratic repre-
sentatives In congress made no objec-
tfon, but rather supported the measures
providing them; and now the party has
not the courage to indicate what part

in approving the outlay. of $f5O,O0O,OO0

the cost of greatly increased river and
harbor improvements. the cost of

enterprises to which it urges the gov
ernment.. Its attack, therefore, has
nothing in it either of fairness or sim
cerity.

VETERANS OF COUNTRY's WARS

Both platforms declare, as they
should, in favor Of generous pensions
for the veterans of the civil war and
Spanish war. l stop TO note the pres
ence here Of a body of veterans of Ohio
and to express my thanks for the
honor they do me in coming. I am
lacking in one qualification of all re-
publican presidents since Lincoln-that

PROTECTION OF CITIZENS
ABROAD

The position which our country has
tion before the world should inure to
the benefit of every one, even the hum
blest of those entitled to look to the
American flag for protection without
regard to race, creed or color, and
whether he is a citizen of the United
States or of any of our dependencies.
In some countries in which We are on
friendly terms distinctions are made
in respect TO the treatment of our citi-
zens travelling abroad and having pass
ports of our executive, based on con-
sideratiOns that are repugnant to the
principles of our government and civili-
zation. The republican party and ad-
ministration will continue to make
every proper endeavor to secure the
abolition of such distinctions which in
our eyes are needless and opprobrious.

PROPOSITION OF DEMOCRATIC
PLATFORM MEANS CHAOS

The proposition of the democratic
platform is TO turn over the islands
as soon as a stable government is es-
tablished. This has been established.
The proposal then is, in effect, TO turn
them over at once. Such action will
lead to ultimate chaos in the islands
and the progress among the ignorant
masses in education and better living
VIII stop. We are engaged in the Phil
ippines in great missionary work that
does our nation honor and is certain to
promote IN a most effective way the in
huence of Christian civilization. 1t is
cowardly TO lay down the burden until
our purpose is achieved.

CHARGE OF DEFICIT

Again it charges that deficit of
$50 600, 600 between the receipts and
expenditures during the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1908, occurred. AS ex
planned by the secretary of the treas
ury, at least half of this deficit is only
an apparent one The falling off in re-
ceipts was, of course, occasioned by the
unusual panic, but there is ample free
money In the treasury to meet the
deficit, and the deficit itself is not half

CONSERVATION OF NATIONAL
RESOURCES

The conservation of national re-
sources is a subject to which the pres
ent administration has given especial
attention. The necessity for a COM
prehensive and systematic improve
ment of our waterways, the preserva-
tion of our soil and of our forests, the
securing from private appropriation
the power in navigable streams, the
retention of the undisposed of coal
lands of the government from aliena-
tion-all will properly claim from the
next administration earnest attention
and appropriate legislation.
The San Francisco call., 1908-07-29
INCOME TAX

The democratic platform demands two
constitutional amendments, one provid-
ing for an income tax and the other the
election of senators by the people. In
my judgment an amendment to the
constitution for an income tax is not
necessary. l believe that an income
tax when the protective system of Gus
toms and the internal revenue tax shall
not furnish income enough for govern
ment needs can and should be devised
which under the decisions of the su-
preme court Will conform to the con-
stftution.

sense of security which would pos
sibly expose us to national humiliation.
Our best course, therefore, is to insist

AsIATIC IMMIGRATION

In the matter of the limitation upon
Asiatic immigration, referred to in the
democratic platform, il is sufficient to
say that the present republican admin
istration has shown itself able, by
diplomatic negotiations and without
unnecessary friction with self-respect-
ing governments, to minimize the evils
suggested, and a subsequent republican
administration may be counted on to
continue the same policy.
The San Francisco call., 1908-07-29

vor has passed a republican house of
representatives several times and has
been rejected in a republican senate

In a number of states, both democratic
and republican, substantially such a
system now prevails.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANK MUCH
TO BE PREFERRED

The democratic party announces its
ADHESION 70 this plan and only recon-
mends the tried system Of postal saw
ings banks as an alternative If the new
experimental panacea is not available.
The republican party prefers the postal
savings bank as one tried, safe and
known to be effective and as reaching
many more people now without bank
ing facilities than any other system.

 The chief present difficulty is stringen- cy caused by the hoarding of the circu- lating medium of the country. All finan- cial leaders and practically all banking institutions have united in urging the people to cease this hoarding and to re- store the circulating medium to Its GUS tomary channels and uses. The banks, above all others. should set the example thus implied; some of them have done SO, but many are alleged to be doing just what they condemn in others For ex- ample. some are known to be holdin g cash reserves ranging from two to five times the normal ratio. The purpose Of a surplus or cash reserve is for use in time of need; to withhold 1t from such use is to defeat it's true purpose tends di- reetly to Intensity the condition which It should alleviate, and Is selfish effort to protect the individual bank at the ex- pense and to the injury of the banks col actively Checks payable "through clear ing house only are useful for local set r dement's, but do not pay non-local debts.
