FACTS OF HISTORY
WHY REPUBLICANS MUST NOT
BE oVER-coNFlDENT.
Three Instances Which Show Danger
of Allowing Democrats to Secure
Control of coneress-Party
Must Exert Itself.

Cheer up, boys" certain Repub-
'ican politicians are saying to their
followers. THE outlook for Novem-
ber is improving, but even if the DEM
ocrats win they are sure to make such
use of their victory as to destroy their
chances for 1912. They can't stand
prosperity. Blundering is their forte,
and they are usually on time"
undertaking the enemy is poor gen.
eralship. The Democrats have com
mitted many blunders, but they do not
always blunder. On several important
occasions in the past 80 years they
have followed up one victory with an
other.
In 1874 they carried the house, and
two years later came within one cleo
toral vote of carrying the presidency.
No congressional slip of theirs on the
eve of the Tilden campaign weakened
them with the country. They secured
a popular majority in 1876.
In 1882 they carried the house, and
in 1884 elected Mr.. Cleveland presi-
dent The ~Morrison-Randall division
vi lllt Ietl III ulu llOI SIloh III lliC pa SoA
Dental campaign. Upon the whole,
Speaker Carlisle guided his house
forces remarkably we'll during the
first session of the Forty-eighth con-
gress, and distinguished himself as a
presiding officer.
In 1890 the Democrats carried the
house by an enormous majority, there
by dicredtng for the moment the
work of the strongest Republicans In
the country outside of the White
House. Thomas b. Reed had revised
the rules, and his lieutenant, William
Mckinley, had revised the tariff, and
had they held their ground in the con-
gressional elections of that year, Gen.
Harrison would probably have been
reelected president two years later.
But they lost to the Democrats, who,
organizing the new house on conserva-
tive lines, helped materially to place
the party in good position for Mr..
Cleveland's third campaign. Judge
Crisp in the speakers chair was an
assurance against eXtremism or fighty
maneuvers.
A Democratic house, sitting from
December, 1911. until the following
summer, might queer the party for its
presidential contest, but here are
three instances warning the Republic
ans against putting such a result
down as a sure thing. Responsibility
sobers men. 1t has been Is years
since the Democrats elected either a
house or a president. While vic
tory now would be sweet and might
tempt extremists to folly, it would
have a SOLDERING effect on the great
majority of the Democratic party and
probably prevent them from playing
into the hands of the opposition.
The only correct appraisement of
this years contest is that which
makes it the opening of the presi-
Dental campaign. If the Republicans
would go into the greater engagement
with confidence, they should exert
| themselves to the utmost to hold the
advantage they now possess. Relying
upon the enemy to commit an act OF
| folly at critical time is neither mag
| nificent nor Washington Star.

STATE TO BE REPUBLICAN
Oklahoma More Than Likely to Line
Up With the Party of Good
Government.

The unity among the Republicans
of Oklahoma means that they will
carry the state in November. In the
state convention the Payne tariff
act as we'll as the Taft admins
tration was praised In the platform,
and an appeal was made to all the
members of the party to get together
In favor of the state ticket and of
the candidates for congress. The
state ticket, 1t is safe to say, will be
composed of capable and popular men.
The party is in much better shape
than 1t was in the state election OF
1907 or in the presidential campaign
of 1908.
Il send greetings to the Republic
ans of Oklahoma" said Mr.. Taft, in
a telegram to the convention, "and
sincerely hope that their organiZa-
tion will be effective to redeem the
state, and to make Republican prin-
ciples victorious in the next election
There is a strong probability that this
aspiration will come true. Gov. Has
kell has been a very heavy load for
the Democrats of the state to carry.
Some of his ecceptricities compelled
the Democratic national committee
in 1908 to remove him from his posi-
ton as one of Bryan's campaign man.
ayers. His queer conduct in the state
capital fight, now "on," has added
to the number of his Democratic and
Republican enemies. Although he
will not be a candidate for re-elec-
ton, his record will turn thousands
of votes against the Democratic ticket.
The Republican party in Oklahoma
is growing with great rapidity. 1t is
growing from two sources-from I'M
migration from Missouri, Kansas, ILL
nois and other Republican communi-
ties, and from the secessions from the
Democrats which the lunacies and fol-
lies of Haskell and the Democratic
machine incite Haskell carried the
state by $1,000 in 1907, but that was
before Oklahoma had a chance to be-
come acquainted with him. Bryan's
lead in 1908 was only 1000, and
Bryan was more popular in the south
west than any other Democratic can
didate would have been. In 1907 the
Republicans elected only one out of
Oklahoma's five members of the
house of representatives. They elect
ed three out of the five in 1908.
Thoughtful Oklahoma Democrats are
anxious to raise the social quarantine
which Haskells fantasies have erect
ed against their state, and will coop
crate with the Republicans for this
purpose. November 8, 1910, promises
to see a good days work done for Ok
lahoma and for the Republican party.
