Especial Washington Correspondence of
The Argus.)
The defeat of Mr.. Bryan means, IL
my Judgment, a tremendous injury to
the Democratic party, because that
party has believed in Bryan, has be-
lieved in the principles for which he
stood. When 1t appears, as 1t does this
time, that the American people. or ut
least a majority of them, stand for
principles opposed to popular govern
ment, stand for principles which seem
to be those that will intensity the
power of the federal government, we
who believe in absolutely popular gov
eminent are necessarily discouraged.
Mr.. Bryan and those who pressed his
campaign have urged his candidacy on
the principle that he stood for all the
people all the time. We have not said
at any moment that he stood for pro-
tecting the steel trust or the oil trust
or the harvester trust or any other
trust. We have said that If he should
be elected we knew he would conduct
an administration for the people. We
have been notified by the people, why
/ do not know, that they did not care
for such an administration We have
been Informed that the voters Of the
United States very much preferred a

efforts earned q living, but has all

eral salary. The people have said to
us that they are more enthusiastic
about Taft, who has done nothing and
promised less, than they are about
Bryan, who has done much and prom
ised through his platform more. 1t is
too late now to discuss any issues Of
the campaign. 1t is not too late. how
ever, to say that the way in which the
Republican party wound up the cam
paign was disgrace to that party and
serious reflection on the electoral
system Of the United States.
This election may have been honestly
won. Frankly. do not believe it was,
but 1t may have been There is a GER
tain mystery about what happened in
New York, what happened In Ohio
and in Indiana. But. more than all,
there is grave mystery enshrouding
the utter refusal of the Republican na-
tional committee to print prior to the
election the contributions which were
made to It, I suppose that when the
thoroughly righteous Mr.. Taft may be
inaugurated and 1t comes out in a
later investigation that there was not
less than three or four million dollars
contributed to his campaign fund and
spent not for pamphlets or ordinary
methods of publicity. but for the GU
rious and devious ways by which pol
iticians carry an election. he will be, as
Theodore Roosevelt was, absolutely
client on the subject. He will follow
The Roosevelt plan. He has no doubt
dragged all the money that could be
obtained out Of every corporation,
trust or financial magnate, and then
when the facts are exposed he will sit
placidly and fatty in his chair as pres
ident Of the United States and regard
1t as beneath his dignity to respond.
That is what Mr. Roosevelt did. That
seems to be what Mr.. Taft will have
to do.
The Future.
The Democratic party does not die
through defeat. 1t is sure to zscover
from this undeserved disaster four
years from now. The one danger &
this-that the national committee as an
present constituted may possibly be
so reactionary in its personal convie-
lions that it win encourage the Social
list party to go fast to the front. That
is something which the national COM
mittee must look out for The Social
list party is growing continually. If
Mr.. Bryan had not been nominated
this year, in my Judgment, it would
have been very close to second place.
Now that he has been defeated 1t Is
very liable to win that place. Without
exaggeration may say that right here
In Chicago have heard not less than

he knows, as all the rest of us know,
that the Union Is complete and indis-

The Hearst Vote.
Undoubtedly Mr.. William Randolph
Hearst through his newspapers con.
tributed somewhat to the defeat OF
Mr.. Bryan. The publicity which he is
able to give to absolute falsehoods, the
cartoons and the lies that he is able to
print, would hurt any candidate. 1t is
not mere matter of political manage
ment, but simply his successful effort
to wreak his vengeance on a man who
refused to carry out his own demands

States. say that the collapse Of the
Democratic party In this campaign
ended their connection with 1t and that
they would sign a statement assuring
their entrance and their affiliation with
the Socialist party. This seems to be
a rather striking political event. Per-

must observe the course Of political
changes. Weeks ago 1 made 1t clear
in this letter that the defeat of Bryan
