THE DEMOCRATS, OPPORTUNITY.

. i AAAAS
There was q time when the Repub-
lican party was known,as the BUSH
ness mems party, and SO 1t was. 1t
was close organization. representing
the financial. commercial and indus
trial Interests of the country, and was
supported by those interests. So long
as the Republican party was In power.
the business interests felt safe. for they
knew that the party would do nothing
to disturb business.
But that situation hns been COM
pletely changed by Theodore Roose-
Welt. The party has been split to
pieces. the leaders are at war with
one another. and President Roosevelt
is both feared and hated by many OF
the leading financiers, manufact urers
and railroad men of the nation. Mr..
Roosevelt is not regarded as safe
man of affairs. and the Republican
party will never be regarded as busl-
ness mans party SO long as tits domi-
mated by Mr.. Roosevelt. But 1t is
dominated by him and will continue to
be. lie Will not be the next President.
but q Roosevelt man will be nominated
Tor the presidency, and he is com.
mitted to the Roosevelt policies. AS
the business interests are afraid of
Roosevelt, SO will they be afraid OF his
man Taft. When Taft makes his CAM
paign, he will have to carry Roosevelt,
on his back, and that is a burden
which even Taft's broad shoulders is
not able to bear.
What an opportunity for the Demo-
Gratis. With the right man and the
right platform, the Democratic party
may become the business mems party
without losing It's prerogatiye as the
party of the people. It need not sur
render aught of its principles; it need
not adopt any Of the un-Democratic
policies of the Republican party. 1t

VIII not put him In nomination."
The Tirnes-Dispatcf attached no i'm
portance to this absurd rumor and has
mover mentioned 1t in It's editorial
columns. But In the course OF the
same article, the Commoner makes nj
fusion to The Times-Dispatch which,
we cannot allow to pass unnoticed. In
referring some time ago to Mr.. Brvans
income from his public lectures, as dis
closed by his agent we lnnocently re-
marked that it was not stated what
fee he received for his political
speeches. In reply to this the Com
moner says:
THE intimation that Mr.. Bryan
charges for his political speeches Is a
species of attack which payer or
the character of ti,s Richmond Times
Dispatch might we'll leave to the ire
sponsible Republican politicians who
conceived the falsehood.'
We hasten to assure our contem-
pornry that our remark was not meant
in any offensive sense whatsoever. We
had 20 idea. Of course, that Mr.. Bryan
charged fee FOR speeches delivered IN
political campaigns. We were under
the impression, however. that he did
receive fees for some of his speecllcs
On political topics, and we can see no
sort of improprlety In his doing so.
Nothing was further from our purpose
than to criticize Mr.. Bryan's methods
Of business.

tains that our State and national legis-
lators should quit discussing the road
question and leave the whole matter

He says further that the farmers (who
constitute the majority of the popula-

nor. able to have their taxes increased
snfhciently to pay for better roads.
So we find ourselves where we started.
The only hope for better roads is
IN state and national aid. That the

q large number are farmers. realize

The State has already shown in a
practical way her Willingness to assist
in this work. and. unless l am mis-
taken as to the tenor OF the present

And the cooperation of the national

is not necessarily true.

State would find It no losing ven-
ture TO pay one-third the cost OF any

end the counties would not hesitate
long In making a decision for good
roads.
