GEN. WRIGHT'S DEMOCRACY

The papers are discussing the Demo-
,cracy of Gen. Luke Wright. OF Tennes-
see, who succeeds Mr.. Taft in the
Roosevelt Cabinet. The Baltimore Sun
takes the following view OF it:
I'm appointing General Luke e.
Wright, of Tennessee, Secretary Of
War to succeed Hon. William H. Taft,
on the lattsr's retirement, OF June 80,
President Roosevelt pays a handsome
tribute to the distinguished Tennss-
seean. eneral Wright's qualifications
for this honorable and responsible po-
He in q man of high character, of prov
ed ability and, personally, of the type
Of men who are to be welcomed as
worthy and desirable additions to the
public service. But we observe that
the appointment Of General Wright il
emphasized in some quarters not only
az a recognition Of his ~undoubtsd fit
ness for the position of Secretary of
War, but also as having important Pc
litical Significance. The President, it
. Do1dS LAS 0hSA
into his ofacialfamily. Thus, as q Re-
publican Chief Magistrate. it is stated,
he has shown thatthe Republican party
does not permit narrow partisanism to
out from the service of the nation
a man who, although q Democrat and
an ex-Contedsrate soldier, has proved
himself worthy of advancement.
I'VE give the President and the Re-
pu blican party all the credit to which
the appointment Of General Wright
them. Yet it seems to us that
there are certain questions involved in
this appointment which ought to be
in all franknsss before the |
final verdict on the disintorestedness
Of the Presidents policy is rendered.
General Wright, as we understand the
Ease, has not affiliated with the Demo-
sratio party for many years. He was
\ gold Democrat in 1896. If this
means that he voted for Mckinley in |
year his last vote lori a Demo-
cratic President was cast, probably in /
1892. In 1900 he was appointed q
member Of the Philippine Commission
~ President Mckinley. We have no
as to how Gen. Wright
will vote this year, but weassume TIN at
lis appointment as hea of the War
is an Indication that he
will not vote for the nominee of the
Democratic National convention"
