WHY BRYAN WILL WIN IN THIS
CAMPAIGN

Why Is it that in every part OF this great
country, even In Republican strongholds,
the Democratic cause has been steadily
making headway since the inception of the
present campaign, while the Republican
party has been correspondingly losing its
hold on the peopleP 1t is simply because of
the inherent merit OF the Democratic posi-
ton and the fatal weakness of the claims of
of Its degenerate adversary. The Republic
can party, by its dismal failures Of the past
and its platform promises for the future, has
cut the ground from under its own feet and
left itself without a valid argument upon
which 1t can claim the further confidence
OF the masses Of the people. 1t stands con-
demned by the record 1t has made, and has
nothing better TO offer for the future
Without any argument in its own behalf, it
Is forced to rely wholly upon captious crit
icism OF the popular reforms proposed by
the Democracy, except In cases where its
candidate for the presidency has given "per-
sonal" endorsement to some Of those reforms
In the hope of advantage from such course ;
but, his party having officially condemned
them or ignored them altogether, his "per-
sonal" position with respect to them
amounts to nothing more than an unavail-
ing rebuke to his party for Its refusal to ac-
cept them.
The Democratic platform is clear.cut,
Straightforward, plain. There is no evasion,
no straddle, no beating around the bush. 1t
deals with the issues that are of chief con.
Germ, and, by the declaration Of the platform
and the candidates, confines the reforms to
be carried out to those specifically enumer-
ated. Therefore the campaign is pitched
upon known issues, TO the exclusion Of those
that were not approved by the party In its
national convention. Under the platform
pledge and the construction placed upon it
by the chosen candidates the voter knows
that no measures not incorporated in the
platform will be brought forward to displace
the platform pledges, and he also knows,
beyond doubt the particular measures of
reform TO which the Democratic admins.
tration will address itself If clothed with
power at the coming election.
II is admitted on every hand that there
are grave abuses that need correction by
legislation. Our strenuous President him
self has made severe indictment against
predatory wealth-"the wealth accumulated
on giant scale by all forms Of inlquity,
ranging from the oppression of wage-earn.
ers to unfair and unwholesome methods of
crushing out competition and defrauding the
public by stock jobbing and the manipula
ton Of securities"-and Mr.. Roosevelt says
"they have banded together to work for
reaction They succeeded in an impor-
tant step in the policy of reaction by COM
polling the Republican party TO beat re-
Ireat Of its national convention at Chicago

FOR CONGRESS,
DAVID J. LEWIS,
OF ALLEGANY COUNTY.
THE DEGRADATION OF THE
PRESIDENCY.

Times changel 1t is not 80 long ago that
the great Office OF President Of the United
States was regarded by its incumbent as
something more than vantage ground for
the conduct OF a political campaign. 1t has
been reserved for our advanced day TO hear q
President declare that in the meeting Of large
responsibilities and In the discharge Of high
and sacred duties, he has had "corking
time" We cannot conceive that the Ame-
rican people regard the change as an i'm.
provement upon the manners or the morals
Of the elder Presidents, or that the rever-
ence of the people for the Office is increased
by the flippant utterance of Theodore Roose-
welt.
1t can be easily understood that a Presi.
dent, earnest In his efforts TO establish poll
cies which he believed to be for the best in,
terests OF his country, should feel deep in
terest in the result Of an election which was
10 approve or condemn his administration,
and that his counsel should be sought and
given to his party associates. But that q
President should, first, use his overwhelm
ing power to dictate his party nomination,
and then use his Office for the direction Of
partisan tactics and the accomplishment of
partisan ends, is distinctly degrading per.
formance which deserves the rebuke which
we believe to be In store for it.
There are few laws of propriety which
Mr.. Roosevelt has not violated since he came
into the Presidency. His fondness for a
"scrap" and what someone has termed his
"incurable boyishness" are not the charac-
teristics which distinguish a digni6ed and
really great President, and there are abun.
dant signs that the people have tired Of them
and do not want them In his successor. Too
many of the unhealthy symptoms Of the
day are attributable to his meddlesomeness
and his overbearing hotheadedness in the
use OF executive power. He would be bet.
Ter employed In efforts to allay the unrest
Of the people and to restore the orderly de-
velopment of the business of the country,
upon which the common welfare depends.
His latest role, as the active manager Of a
political campaign, conflicts with his duties
IS the Executive of the republic, because
those duties affect all people and all interests
and the impartial administration of them lie
the first obligation of the President. His
good intentions, II he IS prompted by them
rs he will doubtless claim to be, cannot ex-
cuse his misuse OF his position and his de.
scent to the level OF machine politician.
He may find that he has gone too far, and
discover, when too late, that the people I'M.
derstand, If he does not, what the Presi-
dency means to them, and in the bitterness
and humiliation Of defeat he1nay suffer the
Just rebuke of his temerity and folly.
