Another Appeal From Roosevelt.

Another Appeal From Roosevelt.
President Roosevelt sent to congress,
April 81, and over the heads of con-
gress to the nation, specific pro-
gramme Of legislation in line with his
previous messages and making some
additions thereto. Coming, as 1t does,
near the adjournment Of the session,
the message is generally understood to
be virtually campaign document 1t
lays greatest stress upon the necessity
of increasing the power Of the fed
eral government over the great cor
porations engaged In interstate COM
merce. For the first time the steel
trust is indicated MS one of the COM
binations against which the federal
power should be exerted, this in con-
nection with a report made to the city
of Boston concerning steel corpora
lions doing business with that city.
The report has been laid before the
department of justice for action. In
again urging that the antitrust law be
strengthened the president says that
every farsighted patriot should pro-
test first Of all against the growth in
this country of that evil thing which
is called class consciousness adding
that "the demogogue, the sinister or
foolish Socialist visionary who strives
to arouse this feeling among the work
ing people, is no self respecting citizen
Of the republic" Still, he regards
even this as no worse than the influ-
ence exercised by the man of great
wealth who tends to unite the working
men by lack of sympathy and uncom-
promising hostility to them He ad-
m1ts that class grievance unrem-
edied breeds class consciousness.
The movement for thorough contro.
OF the business use of the great wealth
employed in interstate commerce, he
says, is conservative, only this policy
being likely to save us "from pluto.
cratic class government on the one
hand or a Socialist class government on
the other" Nevertheless he insists that
power should be lodged with the ex.
ecutiye to permit combinations which
further the public interest" He be-
lieyes that the courts have not the
knowledge or experience to determine
this question. Unless national In
corporation law can be enacted the
president believes that an efficient ex-
ecutiYe body should be created with
power to correct abuses and work out
complex problems and with power par
ticularly to control the issuance of
corporate securities. He believes II
not possible wholly to except labor or
ganlzation from the workings of the

Collapse Of Johnson's Candidacy in
Illinois.

1t is claimed that more than $780,
600 worth of johnson campaign litera-
ture was mailed or otherwise distribut-
ed in Illinois during and just proceed
ing the holding Of the democratic state
convention in that state, and from all
reports it did not even make ripple
in the great river of Bryan sentiment
which is flowing through Illinois.
Governor Johnson is a good democrat
and the friend of the toiling masses,
but it is quite safe to say that the men
who are spending hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars to promote his candi-
dacy are not friends of the people who
work. They are those who make great
sums of money by crimes of cunning,
and their support of Governor johnson
is what silenced even the cheer of the
Illinois democrats when the Governors
name was mentioned. Manchester

The Mason City Republican pays this
personal tribute to the character and
ability of the gentleman who at this
Time heads the democratic party in
Iowa; Claude r. Porter of Centerville,
who ran for governor in 1906, and
heads the Iowa delegation to Denver:
The democrat of Iowa may well
feel proud of Claude R. Porter. He is
not only credit to the Democratic
party but credit to the state..of Iowa.
When it comes to moral cleanliness and
political purity we need more Porters
in both parties. -
1t is right to say these things across
the lines when facts justify the utter
ance. Party differences are not per-
sonal quarrels or chickering's. They
grow out of varying opinions or senti-
ments on questions of governmental
policies, such as the slavery question
of former times, the liquor question,
the tariff problem, etc., of the present
time. DEBORAH Republican.

A Minnesota Democrats Opinion Of
Iohnson,s Candidacy.


To the Editor Will you kindly grant
a democrat, from away back,sa little
space in which to warn his brother
democrats of dangerous pitfall.
1t is covered and creased over by
clever, dextrous hands that lack not
for experience.
An alluring sign invites us to gather
over its yawning depths as did similar
sign four years ago. Then it was the
unprecedented majority given Alton B.
Parker for supreme judgein New York.
Now it is the majority given John A..
johnson for Governor of Minnesota.
The people who voted for Judge Par
ker to adorn the bench thought differ
emily of him for president.
The recalcitrant republicans who
made John A. johnson governor will
not vote to make him president and
there are not enough of us simon-pure
democrats to carry the state for him.
Governor John A. johnson is just as
fine man as Judge Parker. They are
both fine men whose superior qualities
of head and heart attracted the same
elegant gentlemen. The skillful hunt
ers who rig the trap to lure plain, hon
est democrats to destruction care moth
ing for Johnson, they only want {
stalking horse to coax unwary demo
Gratis onto the trap and drop them.
The question is shall we be trapped;
a hundred times say NO!
The men who are using their seduct
i've wiles with johnson are the mel
who hate Roosevelt, who hate Bryan
who hate LaFollette. They want ;
president who will not interfere will
the gathering of wealth by process o:
law, man who is safe and sane. Thi!
class hated Lincoln, they hated Jack
son, they hated jeff erson. Every grea
Commoner earns their aninosity anc
his crucifxion is sought. Will the
democrats of Minnesota aid in cruel
flying Bryan? M. I. GRATTAN.

caution with which the eighteen-year-

brother. 1t was, In fact, only the Sec

this occasion the route to the parlia-

In this issue appears the announce
ment Of A. j. Anders, of this city, as
a candidate for the nomination on the
democratic ticket for congressman
from the Fourth district of Iowa. The
fact that he would be candidate was
referred to in these columns last week,
and now it appears under his own name.
Mr.. Anders is one of the most ardent
of Bryan democrats of this district,
and is firm believer in the Nebraska
man as winner in the coming Denver
convention, and later in November.
He will doubtless make thorough can
vass of as much of the district as is
possible between the present date and
June End, and his friends are confident
that he will win the nomination. ~

The Rev. Percy s. Grant, rector of
the Church of the Ascension (Episco-
pail, on Fifth avenue, New York, has
been much in the limelight recently
because of the Sunday night meetings
conducted by his assistant, the Rev.
Alexander Irvine, to discuss socialism
with all corners. The origin of this
movement was the thought that some
thing should be done to discover why
the Workingmen no longer take part in
church services. After talking with
many Socialists DR.. Grant became con-.
vinced that socialism in the United
States was destined to be peaceful

of Justice. But he says that Irvine am
