 President In his own proper person or in the person of his Secretary of War. The situation calls for bold and un- equivocal enunciation of the principles and policies for which the party stands and invokes the support of the people. will say that the proposed law mak ing 6 violation of the jaws in restraint of trade without the consent of the Commissioner of Corporations, crime and their violations with his consent innocuous and innocent Is a scheme to secure corporation support and tribute, but will say if 1t becomes law 1t Is likely to prove as successful a device for securing corporation support and campaign contributions this year as optional publicity of corporation se- crets proved in the campaign of four years ago If 1t becomes a law, the only thing necessary to make 1t com plete success in this respect Is to make the Commissioner of Corporations chair man of the Republican National Exec utive Committee.
 He would then wield as big a stick against the corporations as did Mir. Cortelyou in the campaign of 1904 The tariff question. the financial question. the trust question and the railroad question are all questions of high im- portance and will doubtless play a conspicuous part in the campaign. but no one of them. or all of them com bined. outrank in importance as a vital issue the question of the centralization of power, which has been thrust to the forefront by the startling aggressive ness of recent legislative and executive usurpations.
 The President's Power.
 When the President of the United States claims power for the Federal Government admittedly not enumer ated in the Constitution. nor derivable from 1t. but alleged to exist outside of the Constitution as an inherent right of sovereignty; whom the President of the United States demands an enlarge ment of Federal powers. not by way of constitutional amendment but through executive action, through legislation and through judicial interpretation and construction of the law, he projects in- to the political arena the most DOT tentous question which has confront ed the American people since the un- paralleled usurpations of the recon struction era. The right of the States to manage their democratic affairs without the interference of the Ma tiona1 Government, the right of the private citizen to manage his private affairs without the consent of a De- partment Commissioner or a Bureau Chief is boldly changed. The States are confronted with the question wheth- CT they are to remain States or become provinces. The citizen Is confronted with the question of whether he is to remain a citizen or become a subject.
 The constitution makers of 17S7 lived in mortal fear of Kings They created the office of president becatse they had to lodge executive power somewh ere. but when they made the president and put him in the White House. they hedged him about with limitations and restraints and val.antly tn ought they had built about him a fence which was. to use a homely phrase of the

farm. mule high. pig tight and bull strong" but the staid old constitution makers had never heard of Teddy the Terrible" They did not anticipate his coming Into the White House.
 In slavery time. there was White House" on every plantation. It was the White House" because the master liv- ed there-it was the seat of power and dominion The humble abode which the people provided for Washington and Jefferson and Lincoln and Grant, has ceased to become the executive mansion and become the White House" of the nat;on--the master lives there-it is the seat of power and do- minion. Everything political begins there and everything political ends there. The master overshadows every body and dominates everything-the government Is Thy government" the army Is my army" the fleets of the navy are 'my ships" Suppliants for legislation. whether they be the rail- roads or the trusts. or the labor unions, go not to the pitol but to the White House for redress of their grievances and the initiation of their measures, and congress. forsetful of its proud traditions. forgetful of its duty to the people. foreetful of its obligations to the constitution and itself, meekly sub- mits, or with feeble if any protest reg isters his will.
 Roosevelt As King.
 The president is a mighty man. Pol itically. speaking he has become an ali-mighty man. Bigger than any body, bigger than everybody. He says to th;s one "go' and he goeth, and to this one do" and he doeth it. He says to the House pass this law and pass that law" and they say "all right, Mir. Roosevelt" and they pass it. He says to the Senate pass this law and pass that law and they say all right MT. Roosevelt" and they pass. He says "I don't want to be president third term, but I want Taft to be president" and they say 'all right. Mir. Roosevelt we'll nominate MT. Taft And we all know. if he shall at any time before the convention change his mind and decide to take the nomina- tion himself. they will say "all right Mir. Roosevelt; to he'll with precedents and third term traditions" and MT. Taft will be kicked and Forakertzed Just let this thing go on as 1t Is going on; as it has been going on with every | acceleratinE momentum during the last forty years of republican government and some fine morning we Will all wake up to find state boundaries oolit- erated to find state sovereignty extin- euished, to find congress and the courts subjugated and Magma Charta | the bill of rights and all our ooasted privileges and in1munit;es of American citizenship. gone. with the spectre of | Old King George stalking abroad in 1 the land and his incarnated spirit seated in power in the White House.
