OPPOSING BRYAN IN VIRGINIA

Richmond, Va, Sept. 23-That a
strong undercurrent among Democrats
against the candidacy of Bryan for the
Presidency and favoring Judge Taft is
sweeping throughout Virginia and threat
ening to weaken sthe party considerably
in the national election, was shown at a
meeting of 20 influential business men
here, they forming a subcommittee of a
body of 500 Democrats comprising the
Democratic Taft Club. Signed pledges
of all members have been secured, not
one man OF the club being a Republican,
and not one of them will vote for any
other Republican candidate other than
Taft, in either local or national elections.
The work of the organization is being
carried forward with the utmost secrecy,
but it is claimed that the Richmond sign
ers will hold in the near future a public
meeting for the purpose of driving the
wedge through the Democratic party o.
| the State.
Judge Taft will be asked to again visi
Virginia and to address the Democratic
Taft Club in Richmond. His acceptance
however, because of many previous en-
gagements, is in doubt.
In ''solid"Virginia, so long Democratic
mention of the names OF bank presi-
| dents, substantial business men and Dem
ocratic leaders, who have allied themseIye
with the new faction, has created a pro
| found sensation.

WHERE DOES BRYAN STAND I

In 1896 Mr.. Bryan put free sill.
yer above every other considera,
ton, going SO far as to declare
that unless that issue was &C.
cepted and applied the country
would go to ruin-that there
never would be another celebra-
ton of the Fourth of July.
In 1900 Mr.. Bryan adhered to
bis silver policy, but made sim

attempting to frig ten the
country with phantom Of mon
archial aggression. Accompany

A PAGE FROM HISTORY

"We promise to redeem the
good name of Delaware by filling
important political places with
men whose ability will be recog-
nized and whose honesty and in
tegrity cannot be questioned"
Thus saith the Democratic
platform enuntrated at the Dover
convention that was bossed by
the unhidden hand of the special
interests Of the State in conjunc.
ton with a coterie of vengeance
seekers in the party.
1t might be taken seriously, if
the inventors of the platform did
not have past. If they could
sponge from their slate the
record of former years the voters
might take heed. But platforms
and party promises are judged
by records. Eloquent platitudes
in resolutions or on the stump
do not suffice for the absence of
homely virtues of common sense
manifest in concrete party &C
ton.
Many years Of undisputed con-
troll in n.this State by the Demo
Gratis did not make these virtues
manifest either in law making or
in law-administering. Z ears

perately to retain The organic

Middletown transcript., 1908-09-26

The political incidents involved
in that struggle and in the fight
for a new constitution, with its
manifold blessings, were those
that wrung the hearts of the
people. The verdict of history
is that the Democrats were on
the wrong side of these conflicts.
They are still wrong.
And who does not recall the
incidents surrounding the final
dawning of political light in Del

Gratis who are at present SO
loudly mouthing expressions OF
loyalty to the States good name

fury the laws of that State which
they now profess to honor

tional convention where those
Democrats who are now SO sollc-
itous of the good name OF the
State?
Within stones throw OF the
building in which the resolutions
of reformation were adopted at

some of the very men who sat IN
the convention were few years
ago violently trying to upset the
will of the voters of their county
and engaging in practices SO
shocking that Democrats like the
late Edward Ridgely were moved
to vehement protest.
And then consider the promise
of candidates-of filing the office.
True it is that the Democrats
have been wiped from practically
all the important offices of the
State, but there is nothing in the
standard of those who at present
hold Office to lead one to believe
that the platform roses are not
withered.
The Democratic party has sent
men to the United States Senate
whose record is not illustrative
of high moral ideas or brilliant
craftsmanship. It has elected
governors not likely to be canon
lied as saints. 1t has chosen
congressman whose ''recognized
ability" made no impression
there. It has filled county, State
and city positions with some
men whose conduct has brought
the blush of shame upon the
people.

tic State platform point of view

THE RIGHT TREE

Under the caption Barking
up the wrong tree" Euery EUen-
ing, takes THE TRANSCRIPT to
task for its article on the burn
ing of the ballots cast at the
Democratic Primary Election,
saying what every one knows
that the Department of Elections
of Wilmington is composed of
four Republicans and one Demo
crat and that these men are re.
sponsible for the fraud. which 1t
admits was "most unfortunate.
1t says
"We hope our Republican con-
temporary, after learning of this
fact will break forth afresh in
its next issue and visit it's just
wrath upon these four Republi-
cans and one Democrat whom ii
charges by implication, with hav'
ing been guilty of a trick"
Now the facts of the case are,
as Every Evening had every op'
portunity of discovering, and
which we had investigated be-
fore commenting upon the matter
are, that the Secretary of the
Department of Elections was in
structed by the Chairman Of the
Democratic County Committee,
Hon. Charles D. Bird, erstwhile
candidate for Governor, to des'
troy the ballots, and the secre
tary did so, having no knowledge
of contest or of the actual state
of the canvass. The four Re
publicans and the one Democrat
whom Eveqy Evening desires to
shove the blame over upon, had
nothing whatever to do with the
case. In fact, knew nothing OF
it until it was announced in the
papers.
Every EUening also wakes in
dignant because The TRANSCRIPT
''insinuates" about fraud and ir'
regularity in Democratic Primar'
les, and says that "no Demo.
cratic nomination in New Castle
County held under the Primary
Election law has ever been chal.
lenged on the ground of fraud
and Mr.. Roth we'll made no such
charge in his contest" There
may have been no public chal'
lenge, for the very simple rea'
SON that since the Primary Elec-
ton law was enacted, Democratic
Primaries have been largely
a matter of form. The law was
passed in 1897, and the Republi
cans have carried the county at
every election since Candi'
dates at Primary Election in
such cases do not challenge the
result, but swallow the dose
handed out to them. 1t is only
in the majority party that pro-
tests and challenges are effec-
tive.

BRYAN S drawings.


In 1904 Mr.. Bryan was not re.
sponsible for the platform, bnt
he supported a ticket he knew
was nominated and backed by
Wall Street, a ticket more com.
pletely subject to the Special
Interests than any the Repu ubli.
can party ever put in the field.
At one time or another Mr.
Bryan has declared for govern.
ment ownership of railroads and
for national initiative and refer
endum. And yet in the present
campaign he is running on a
platform that does not mention
any of the issues here enumer-
ated. And this too, in spite of
the fact that Mr.. Bryan has said
that a man worthy to lead a
great cause should be willing to
die for it.

VETERANS OPPOSE BRYAN

Major General Daniel E. Sick
les, Democrat, and Major Cen
eral O. o. Howard, both of whom
saw distinguished service in the
Civil War, at present the highest
ranking officers of the Civil War
now living, are outagainst Bryan
and Organism. This action is
especially significant in the case
of General Sickles, as he has
been prominent IN Democratic
councils. General Sickles yes
terday accepted the presidency
of the Union Veterans Patriotic
League, re-organized to promote
the election of Taft and Sher-
man. General Howard has been
made national vice-president.
Former Senator George W. Brush
of New J ork, another Civil War
veteran, will be national secre-
tary and Colonel Weller E. Sto-
yer, of Delaware, a Spanish
American War veteran, will be
assistant national secretary.
The league was first organized
to procure the election of Nc
Kinley. Four years ago it was
re. organized as a Roosevelt lea
que, and this year the two major
generals will ask every soldier
of the Civil and the Spanish
American wars who has not an
swered the last roll call to show
his love OF country by voting for
Taft and Sherman. While head
quarters will be maintained in
New York, branches will be Or
ganized in every Northern state
in the Union.
General Sickles heads a list of
two hundred prominent veterans
who have signed an address to
the Civil War veterans. The
veterans are reminded that all
the pension legislation ever en-
acted by Congress was MADE pos
sible only by the representatives
Of the Republican party and that
the Democratic representatives
in nearly every instance had at
tackled and opposed such.-Neu0
