Staunton spectator and vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1896-1916, 1908-11-13
OFFCEHOLDERS ALARMED.

The election of Mr.. Taft has little
in it for the of1iceholder in
the South if reports be true. Mr.. Taft
is reported to have said that what the
Republican party needs to give it tone
in the Southern States is different
class of men in the offices. That is
true. But just how Mr.. Taft is going
to get them is hard to tell. If he gives
them to Democrats he will drive away
his present party followers, and not
strengthen himself with the
Democrats in general, and if he leaves
the offices where they are-according
to his own statement, he will hold the
party down to the old level. 1t is hard
to keep the channel amid such rocks.
John S. Wise is reported to have said
recently that the only way to make a
Republican of Southern man is to
give him office, and the only way to
keep him a Republican is to keep on
giving him office. If Mr.. Taft tries the
policy of Mr.. Cleveland he
will find his popularity where Mr..
Cleveland found his, and his party
nothing sh ort of Cleveland mob.

1T MAKES THEM WIGGLE.

The Manufacturers Record is trying
to wiggle out of the odium attached to
its subsidization with Standard Oil
money. The exposure of Mr.. Hearst
caused it to wiggle very much. Mr..
Hearst has caused wiggling in Others.
Mr.. Foraker, Mr.. Haskell, Senator Nc
Laurin, Gov. Stone of Pennsylvania,
two judges appointed by Stone, and
the Hon. Joseph Bailey of Texas, have
all wiggled like fish worms in salt.
The Manufacturers Record has I'M
dertal<en to show the philanthropy of
itself and the Standard Oil. 1t has
brought forth reliable witness in Mr..
John Shelton Williams, it has made
out strong case. But somehow the
people are not convinced. They noticed
a change of politics in the Manufac-
turers' Record, and it's witnesses are
converts. 1t may be that the Archbold
money was sent for the purest and
best purposes, but somehow there is a
smile of incredulity all around. The
story is pretty, but it lacks an element
of veracity, even Mr.. John SHELTON
Williams has not supplied.

THE WRECK To TEACH SENSE

The Richmond News-Leader in glOat-
ing over Democratic defeat, uses the
following language:
The democratic party cannot be des-
troyed and cannot die. 1t is indestruc-
table and everlasting because its princi-
pies are right and are eternal and are
planted deep in the hearts and are part
of the instincts of the American peO-
pie. We hope the effect of this wreck
will be to teach the democratic leaders
and organization some sense.
A few more supporters like the News
Leader would add fresh death to an
Egyptian mummy. We join the News
Leader in the hope that this wreck
will teach the Democratic organization
some sense. 1t ought to teach them
the difference between loyalty and
treachery, it ought to teach them the
difference between black and white, it
ought to teach them that they should
bolt when everything does not exactly
suit, it ought to teach them to run into
the enemy's camp and infiict defeat on
their own army in order that their own
army may have more sense. 1t ought
to teach them that no matter what
they are fighting for they must have a
leader who is personally agreeable to
all the skulkers, deserters and sore
heads in the country, or they will de-
sert outright. The Democrats are fast
learning a lesson. Let the News
Leaders ideas as to party loyalty pre-
vail and it will see such a taking to
the woods as was never seen before.

DEMOCRACY AND THE PRESS

The weakest spot in the Democratic
household is the lack of newspapers.
1t is not worth while to tell anybody
that the people get their ideas and in
SEPARATION through the press A news
paper advocates one side of question
All literature published by it can be
colored that way, indeed it can and
often does fail to print line out of tune
with its policies. This is known so
well to the Republican party that the
vast trusts and combines which are
the bed rock of the Republican struc-
ture, have syndicated the press. Look
at the complexion Of all the newspa-
pers in Baltimore, Philadelphia with
the exception of the Record and New
York without any exception) as well
as the magazines. Letters read by Mr..
Hearst, which he stole from the Arch
bold letter file, show the Standard
Oil's insidious work on the Manufac-
turers' Record and the Southern Farm
Journal. In Virginia the corporation
owned press of Richmond breaches
from corporation texts only, and the
Baltimore Sun seems to be for sale to
the highest bidder. In New York the
World in June last was danlning Mr..
Bryan and Democracy, but seeing an
increased sale of its traitorous sheet and
possibly having influences we cannot
know, brought to bear on it, suddenly
proclaimed Democracy. The fraud was
so thinly yelled only the blind could
not see it, and no sooner had the result
been proclaimed than that sheet headed
the list in shouting for joy over the re-
suit. The press of the United States is
now the real salvation Of Republican
ism, and the trusts will never let it
slip from their fingers. They know its
power, they know their impotency
without it. 1t will be impossible for
the Democrats TO build up competi-
itor, hence it will be impossible for
them ever to win another victory. This
is the school which teaches policies and
builds up faiths. There may sometime
be a change of parties, but it will come
only when the people are driven to
madness by the iniquities of the rulers.

NOW TO BUSINESS.

Now to business. This is the slogan.
Those who promised are now told to
ssmake COOL" in such way as to cause
some to feel doubtful as to whether
they will be able to fulfill their con-
tract.
Already columns in the corporation
newspapers tell how Smith will put on
new men, Brown will increase his
force, Jones will put fire in his fur
naces. Butts will start up again his
saw mill. Windville will build new
waterworlzs, Ragtown will repair her
pumping station, Dirtburg, will install
a sewer system. All these enterprises
were based on the election of Taft.
The transcontinental stemwinder rail
road has unleashed orders TO the
amount of two billion dollars, which
had been placed only on the condition
that Taft won. Six hundred thousand
idle men in Chicago who had been
promised work if Taft was elected will
probably be put to work this week-if
not then next week-if not then pro-
badly some other week. All other cities
will follow suit. 1t is noteworthy that
other railroads, especially in the South
where Mr.. Taft has found such favor,
will follow the splendid example of the
stemwinder, and Mr.. jim Blowhard,
First Assistant l.. |. A. r. of the
N. |. I. Railway, has informed re-
porter of the morning Windbag that
such general railroad development is
near at hand as was never seen before.
1t is also worthy of note, says Mr..
Blowhard, that chad Mr.. Taft been de-
feated our railroad would have taken
off all its trains except the Saturday
morning local, and possibly local
freight leaving here every two weeks,
and after January 1st would most pro-
badly have gone out of business en-
tirely."
These evidences Of prosperity, the
very lack of which should damn the
party in power, are put forth to deceive
the gullable. The appearance of them
in print shows that the average man is
treated by the newspapers which serve
the monied interests, as if he were an
ass, simpleton, indeed an idiot. The
only real case of delayed industry held
back to await the results of the cleo
ton, we are informed, is that of a val
Ter dog in our town which had refused
to bark until the returns came in.
Those returns being favorably that dog
is now yawping industriously, ener-
getically, businesslike-he has actually
walked around three or four blocks,
whereas up to midnight of November
3rd he had to be kicked out of the way
if he moved at all. The yawps seem
to stick in his gullet bit, but they
sound when emitted-like T-a-a-f-t,
B-i-l-t-a-a-f-t, and on hearing them anc
seeing the dog, you would feel certain
that the first bone he had chewed since
the panic in October last had gotter
crosswise in his throat.
s-Business-whoe ever saw
such sudden return of business

had to overcome again, as he had in
his first race, a divided party as well
as the terrific defeat and disruption Of
his party by those would be leaders
who had preceded him. What has he
done in this election? He has redeem
ed Colorado, Kentucky, Nebraska, and
very nearly Missouri, Maryland, Ne
vada and West Virginia. He cut the
Republican majority in Ohio from
255, 900 four years ago to $4,000 this
year. He cut California's majority OF
four years ago from $4,000 to $4,000,
Indiana's from $4,000 70 5000, Iowa's
from 1913, 900 to $1,000, Kansas from
126, 900 to 10000, Michigan from 227, 900
to 100000, Montana's from $4,000 to
1900, Minnesota's from 161, 900 to less
than 100, 600, Pennsylvania from 4O5,-
less than 100000, Wisconsin's from
600 to 10000 to less 1900, and let it be
noted there is no Republican State in
the Union in which he has not reduced
the majority.
Mr.. Bryan found the party wreck
under Cleveland in 1896. He found it
a wreck under the leadership of the
'ssafe and sane" in 1908. If it is
wreck today it has on board that
wreck valuable merchandise it did not
have at the end of its 1904 campaign.
But the ship has been full of Jonah's.
Cleveland Jonahed it, Parker Jonahed
it, our monied aristocracy has Jonahed
it, and no captain will ever be able to
right il until these Jonahs and all their
tribe are thrown overload and into the
sea. Here we present a few OF the fig-
urges which showed ''the wreck Mr..
Bryan has made, and made in a race
where he was opposed by the active
work of every officeholder from the
president down, every power known
to the government, and was bounded
as usual by all the corporations and
their influence, and an army of trail
tors in his own camp. Contrast Mr.
Bryan's State and Mr.. Taft's in this
election. Mr.. Bryan carried his own
State by handsome majority, along
with Democratic legislature and a
Democratic governor, overcoming a
majority of $4,000 for Mr.. Roosevelt.
Mr.. Taft had 255, 600 majority to begin
with and wiggled through with only
$4,000, while a Democratic governor
and other Democratic officers were
elected. Thus did Mr.. Bryan change
over 10000 Republican votes to him in
his own State, and over 100000 in
Ohio, Mr.. Taft's State. Mr.. Bryan
drew away from the Roosevelt vote
over 100000. The great subsidized
newspapers could tell these facts il
they would, for facts they are. Mr..
Bryan has wrecked nothing. He is as
much today the idol of the plain peo
pie, as he is despised by the monieo
aristocracy.

A NEW PARTY.

There is talk Of organizing a new
party in Virginia. 1t comes from the
Taft Democrats, the Cleveland Demo
Gratis, and the Parker Democrats. The
sounds are homogeneous, and they
should carry out their desires. There
is not room for them in the present
Democratic party or there is not room
for that party in any party in which
they figure. There is bound to be a
split. The loyal Democrats will not
support their measures any more than
they have supported the regular DEM
ocratic measures. The places where
the niggers used to be in the Republi-
can party are vacant, why don't they
go there-they seem to fit.
