NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.

From a non-partisan viewpoint Col
 Hers Weekly thus refers to the can,
 didates in the present national cam,
 paign:
 We shall not lie awake fretting
 about the outcome of this campaign,
 In the long run we fancy it will mat
 ter little who is elected. Mr. Bryan has put forth too many cure-alls for our taste-too much Political Peruna, as it were-Dut if elected he will be a president, rot legislature, and the country will know that no very fierce measures can pass a senate that will surely be republican. As president he will be honest and high-minded, and will fight the corrupt machines in ev- cry state. A man who, as candidate, fought Guffey in Pennsylvania, and made almost his own terms with Sul- liyan in Illinois, may be trusted to make trouble for Murphy and many of his tribe in other states, if he is once safely entrenched at Washington. We are inclined to believe that MT. Taft will be elected. and few candi- dates of any party have more clearly proved ahead their fitness for the of fee. From a point of view non-parti- san like our own, he seems to have a stronger case than his opponent, for he has the liberalism of Roosevelt; the caution of education, intellect, and a humanity well shown in the Philippines; an administrative ability fully tested; a respect for the courts, combined with willingness to make reforms. At the same time, while Taft seems to us the stronger man We expect no great increase Of industrial depression if Bryan is elect ed, and no especially harmful acts from him as president. The country has reason to go about it's business and not worry about either candi- date"

power of the republican party which will be in the saddle if AIr. Taft is elected and he will be much more help less in his effort for reform than has been the present executive. The re publicans turned down many of the things which Candidate Taft says he is in favor of and those who showed aside reform measures In the national republican convention will shove them aside in congress just as they have been doing during the last three years, notwithstanding the strenuous use of the big stick.
 No one win contend that Taft will be able to accomplish more than did Roosevelt in the matter of bringing about relief for the people from the fayoritisms granted in the past by re publicans. If the people of the coun- try really desire a change from the past favoritism then it will be neces- sary to not only put democrat in the white house but democratic majority in congress. With a democratic presi- dent and democratic house there would be a powerful sentiment which would compel the republican senate or enough of the senators to carry out needed reforms, To expect the re forms which Taft and Roosevelt con tend for, with Uncle Joe" Cannon as speaker of the house, is ridiculous.

TAFT'S SPEECH
 OF ACCEPTANCE.

The speech of w. H. Taft, the re publican candidate for president, de livered Tuesday at Cincinnati to the notification committee, shows that if Mir. Taft is defeated he will go down clinging to President Roosevelt and
 my policies, 2 notwithstanding the re publicans refused in the national con yention to put certain things in the platform for which President Roose- welt was very insistent during the first session of the sixtieth congress.
 Candidate Taft endorses many Of the issues raised by the democrats which had been turned down in Chi cago. Taft endorses the physical val nation of railroad property and says that 1t should be done when necessary to arrive at a correct solution of rate questions> He takes the position that under the present law the interstate commerce commission would have the right to order such a valuation should it be necessary in the determination of what would Fe a just rate.
 While Taft does not agree with the democratic declaration in favor of trial by jury in injunction cases, he devotes a large part of his speech to the task of proving his friendship and that of the republican party for the labor organizations in the country and for the individual laborers.
 The republican candidate endorsed another plank in the democratic plat form when he stated that he himself was in favor of electing United States senators by the popular vote of the people of the several states.
 While Mr Taft has agreed with some of the important parts of the democratic platform and agree with the efforts of the president to put them into effect it is well known that he is not in accord with the ruling
Bisbee daily review., 1908-07-30

class as against another class. The injunction plank in the democratic platform simply declares for equal rights for all, special privileges or fav, oritism for none.
 The democratic platform Is the re- suit of careful thought by the mem bers of the resolutions committee, who were in session two days and two nights before their work was complet- ed; we believe 1t will be received throughout the country with approba- tio and that it will awaken the con science of the nation to the fact that 1t is high time to apply the democrat ic principles enunciated to affairs of the government.
 The nomination of Bryan for presi- dent has been foreseen for four years; with the overwhelming defeat of Alton B. Parker in 1904 came the almost uni versal conclusion that Bryan would be the logical candidate in 1908; since then this conclusion has grown strong CT from day to day Bryan's strength lies both in the public belief in his honesty of purpose and the growing popularity of the governmental poll cies which he has so long and so earn. estly advocated.
 Mir. Kern, the candidate for the vice presidency, comes before the demo crats of the country bearing the high est recommendation for ability and de- votion to the principles of his party. He is a man who has never lost faith in his party and it's high purposes. A .n1a of the highest character he has been the idol of Indiana democrats. The nomination of Mir. Kern will add much strength to the ticket in Indi. ana, nlin..s and other big states in that section of the country.

With fine irony the Springfield Re publican observes that when the bot tom begins to fall out of the stock market as it did recently what the stock exchange ought to do is to stop the trading and haye read the plank ia the Republican platform concern ing the recent safe passage of the American people through financial disturbance. That would at least serve to light up the doom of values with laugh"

DEMOCRATS READY FOR THE BATTLE.

DEMOCRATS READY
 FOR THE BATTLE.
 Now that a chairman has 3 Zen ehos-
 en for the national democratic com
 mittee and other officers have been named to complete working organiza- ton the time has come for starting the
 battle to be made by the party this year.
 Since the nomination of Bryan it has been plain that the republicans
 were struck with widespread alarm
 by the enthusiasm which was mani tested at Denver and which has been
 kept up throughout the country It kept Taft busy for several days giving out interviews for the purpose of eff setting the advantage gained by that platform; he could not wait for the time named for notifying him of his nomination.
 The democratic platform is positive in every declaration; there is no at tempt to straddle any proposition pre- sented; the language is unambiguous and those who read the democratic platform will know exactly for what the national administration will stand in case Colonel Bryan reaches the presidency.
 On the question of the tarif the demand Is made that every article con trolled by monopoly in the United States shall be placed on the free list; as the protection afforded byI tariff duties has besn largely respon- sible for the appearance Of trusts and monopolies in our commercial life, all will agree that the removal Of these duties which have worked evil on tic consumers of the country is desirable. The democratic creed since the days of Cleveland has been a tariE for reYe- nue, so adjusted as to give the great l est benefit to the wage earners of the country and the democrats promise to 1 reach this tarif basis as soon as pos sible.
 The entire platform promises to re- turn the government to those prinei- pies which shall put an end to trusts and private monopolies which are de- clared to be indefensible.
 The Denver platform rightly de- nounces the reckless extravaganza of the recent republican administration at a time when the industries of the country were in the depths of depres- sion. causing idIeness of thousands upon thousands of American workmen and promise to return to an economi- cal administration of the public busi- ness of the country, at the same time efficiency in every de partmeut.
 Declaration is made for strengthen ing the American navy and for the in the future of an ade- quate feet on the Pacific coast as well as on the Atlantic.
 The injunction plank placed il the democratic platform was so worded as to finally receive the unanimous ap- Droval of the delegates who passed up oa it,, the declaration that no peremp- tory writ of injunction shall issue against a labor organization during a labor strike where the same would not issue, were no strike pending, seems to have been agreeable to those representing organized labor and was not objectionable to those in the convention who had contended for conservative expression on the subject of injunction. There is a diff ference in the expression Of the repub- ltcans and democrats on the subject Of injunction; the republicans said no-' thing, while the democrats promised, if possible, to prevent the abuse of the law of injunction by favoring one

DEMOCRATIC VICTORY IN NEW MEXICO.

IN NEW MEXICO.
 It Is now very apparent that the re
 pablican machine has determined up
 on the nomination of w H. Andrews
 as the republican candidate for con.
 gross in New Mexico The machine
 knows that many republicans in the
 territory are bitterly opposed to An
 drews, but that organization has evi.
 dently decided to take the risk of his
 nomination, hoping to raise the, cry of statehood and thus induce all the re publicans to vote for him on the falla-
 cious plea that should the territory elect a democrat to congress the prom ise of statehood made by both na, tionaI parties would be refused by the republicans should they hold the ma jority in congress.
 The people of New Mexico or Ari- zona need have no fear that the result of the election would in any way af- feet their statehood ambitions. The republicans promised statehood be- cause public sentiment throughout the country had become so strong in fav- or of doing justice to the two remain ing territories that it would not have been wise to longer ignore it's de mands. A republican congress will no longer dare ignore this just demand of public sentiment.
 According to the Albuquerque Jour nal the nomination of Andrews will mean the election of Larrazolo, the democratic candidate. The Journal is the foremost newspaper in New Mexi- co and has been rated always as a re- publican journal, though it has not seen fit to do the bidding of the repub. iican machine in that territory, just as some of the republican papers in Arizona have refused to follow the federal machine in matters affecting the party. Concerning Andrews and his proposed nomination the Journal says:
 They know that in the present state of the public mind Mir. Andrews could not be elected, but they seem to believe that by forcing his nomination by the convention they can force his by an unwilling constituent cy at the polls.
 Here is where the friends or sup porters of MT. Andrews make their fatal mistake. They ought to know, because the most authentic reports from every section of the territory ought to make it impossible for them not to know, that Mir. Andrews will net poll as many votes this year as he polled two years ago. while MT. Larrazolo will poll a large number more votes at the coming election than he poIled at the last election, when he was beaten by only a mere handful, on the face of the returns. If the managers of the Andrews campaign do not know these things to be true, it is simply because they deliberately close their eyes to facts which are patent to every one else, and if, with the party machinery in their own hands, they persist in forcing the nom ination of MT. Andrews at the coming territorial convention of the republi- can party, then upon them will rest the responsibility of forcing upon the territory a democratic delegate"

will point to the record will show how subservient
they have been. The Mormon democrats will prom
ise to be subservient. The Mormon-r -republi-
will say, 1--WE have not enforced the constitu-
ton of the state against YOU We have rendered the
test oath dead letter. We have not attempted to
punish any one for living in the polygamous relation
We have always defended you when attacked"
The Mormon democrats will reply that the repubii-
have not given the Mormons recognition for
Ugh office. Look at us, we place a Mormon on
first state ticket-we will do better next time
if you will elect us, and give you senatorshp o.
the governorship, will treat you as brothers and
divide evenly with you."
In addition to that the Hon. Nose Alexander will
eXclaim The republican say they have not enforced
the constitution against you Look at me, | have
proclaimed openly that will change the constitution
if elected governor and take of it those provis
ions which obnoxious to you" 1t is now to be
dcker and trade for Mormon votes
In addition the people deeply stirred over the
liquor question. The decision of that question with
two Mormon tickets in the field is left entirely to
the Mormons. One Mormon ticket has Mr. Brady
at its head who has for his chief lieutenant and ad-
wiser, Mr.. Bob Hays, the president of the brewers
association while the other has the Hon. Nose
Alexander.
The Hon. Brady stands on county local option
plank in his state convention. Mr. Brady and his
Mormon associates adopts at breaking pledges
made by the party in state platforms. How and
where do the Hon. Mr. Brady and his Mormons
really stand on the liquor question? Would anyone
put faith in their statements if they were to make
any? The Mormon platform on which the Hon.
Nose stands silent the liquor question and he
and his Mormon associates are supposedly against
local option of any kind and against prohibition
Hon. Nose is depending for his votes on the Nor
mons and the liquor interests. The Hon. Mr. Brady
is depending for his election on the Morons and the
liquor interests
The Hon. Brady will appeal to the people in the
name OF his great national party and the high char
acter of Mr.. Taft The Hon. Nose will appeal to
the voters in the of the great national demo-
cratic party and the magnificent character of Mr.
Bryan
The people understand that there is now no op-
portunity for them. They must sustain by their.
votes, either democratic republican organiza-
ton controlled by the polygamst Mormon hierarchy
at Salt Lake. The Scmitar has endeavored to pre-
vent this situation
1t has labored earnestly to persuade the people of
Idaho to throw off the Mormon yoke Apparently
they will have opportunity to do so in this cam
paign. The Scimitar cannot tell what course the
people will choose to follow
So far as the publisher of The Scimitar is con-
cerned he will not support either the ticket of Mr.
Brady or Alexander. A democratic Mormon tick
ct is as Objectionable to him republican Mormon
ticket

DEFEAT THE BOSSES

The Troy Weekly News the brilliant Republican news
paper of North Idaho presents the following facts for the
consideration of the members of that party:
Is it not startling situation when think that it
possible for few politicians meet and parcel
public positions much years previous to election
here in Idaho Yet it true Brady nominated by
prediction deal made during the last campaign The
Republican bosses mot the people, presented him with
the place The Republican machine, built up by James
Brady and backed by the political satales throughout
the state have taken from the people the right of self
government the right select their public officials
and are trading in these offices with much indifference
to public interest they would with any their personal
property So outrageousy bazen have these Republican
ngsters become that they have this year refused
may Taft but what Republican in Latah county has
Hughes La Toilette Yet opportunity has been given
you any other citizen say YOU may believe
in honorng any sefseected leader who has violated
his pledges to the people and voted to repudate plank
in the last Republican platform yet you denied the
privilege Of expressing yourself In spite of what the
Republican the machine selects the men and
honors such rank traitors Hart and Tuitt both plat
form regulators And these fellows go the national
Republican convention to select candidate for whom
expected TO vote in November. As an American
citizen how do you like it, You will have opportunity
speak this fall and endorse ebue the Republican,
gang and their machine made candidates You endorse
those who betrayed you and continue them power
