DEMOCRACY AGAIN THE HOPE


Norman Mack, head Of the Nation
al Democratic paetv organization has
openad new line Of trouble for the
opposing forces. In his citation OF
unparalleled success o. Democracy In
the doubtful states possessed Of
Democratic administrations, namely,
Indiana, Ohio and Nebraska, he in
stances the flat failure OF Hughes in
New York and fIadley in Missouri to
carry with them the elements neces-
sary TO prevail over the power Of
greed and special privilege in admin
istratiye affairs. Governor Hughes
signally failed in his reformatory cam
paign. even alter being backed by the
mighty Roosevelt In his last charge
against the ribbed up organization OF
.Wadsworth OF New York. Iladley, a
Teformer whose Integrity was never
questioned and by many believed 10
be the most able Republican govern
or in the United STATES today mas
been unable to carry with him sut-
1icient Republican minority 10 allow
the Democracy TO aid him in mel-
toa iUus conquests over greed.
On the other hand, Harmon Of Ohio
has led the forces OF honesty and pro
gress 30 ably in Ohio that President
Taft has become alarmed over his
own future, and has actually caused
TIE progressive Republicans OF his
state to join hands 10 ieIeat the
sturdy Harmon, whose lSng public
service has been credit to himself
his state and a source Of Inspiration
to the people OF the United States.
Nowhere Il there Democratic hes
itascy. The militant hosts are filled
With llf 4;gs.de faith that has enabl-
7s7 them 10 make victory OF defeat;
the forces are undaunted and the
great oEcoming wave OF displeasure
with the action Of President TAFT
threatens to sweep from the fields
the forces OF special privilege.
Mighty as has been tine organization
OF the Republican party, its expedi-
ency measures have finally drifted 1t
petIlousiy nigh the shoals of Dissol
ufion Each OF the special privilege
barons. having fattened at the ex
pense of the commonallty, is dissat

baicn has been getting more than
the agreed share vi special privilege

fawme his neighbor The beef tsus
and the tin trust, the lumber and tht
twine trusts, the steel and the bread
trust; the trust OF this, OF that, which
and wherefore, all rieh because a well
to-do-thriving public was not watchfu

gress.all row seek the cooling waters
OF the river Immunity. and ask that
each may first be baptized, and each
knowing SO well the tricks OF hii
neighbor, fears to stay in or out, lesi
the pIunderbnnd officers make a raiC
whilst he is being given the Wicker
sham bath OF purity
Consequently the people, aroused
as never before 10 the inequalite.
OF past legislation, once more turn
their faces toward the great, time
honored, correct principles as enun
clafed by Democracy. They heart
the words OF Roosevelt and Eaw th'
trusts grow in wealth and strength

promises of Taft and saw his 30l
pounds Of ayordupois plunge into New
England special privilege water-the.
want no more OF Republican promises
they wish for honest, economic Demo
cratic administration, with equa
rights to all and special privilege t.
none.
