THE DEMOCRATIC HOPE

The unexpected happened in
republican circles last week when
Swain county failed to instruct
her delegates for Grant. The
republicans of Cherokee send
their delegates to the convention
uninstructed. The failure OF
these two strong republican
counties to endorse the record OF
Mr.. Grant naturally provoked no
little comment among the latter's
devotees in this county and else.

where. It means there is oppo-
sition to him in the ranks Of his
own party and indicates an
under current to throw him over
board. Mr.. Pearson says he is
not a candidate, but. would not
refuse IF the nomination should
come to him, representing the
pronounced judgment Of the
party as expressed by duly ac-
credited delegates" This adj
mission by Mr.. Pearson was
understood to mean that he
would not mind displacing Mr..
Grant the least bit, if the con-
vention should only say the word.
For our part, we do not ever
again, want to see the acrobatic
performer of Richmond Hill
holding an office by virtue of the
peoples suffrage. We prefer
John Grant. with all his faults,
every time:to Richmond Pearson,
who robbed W. T. Crawford OF
the seat, in congress, to which
the. latter was honestly elected
in 1908.

to properly supervise the trusts
with being responsible for the
high cost Of living. Mr.. Foss
stumped the district on national
questions and says his election
means a demand from the peo-
pie for the immediate repeal of
section two of the PayneAldrich
act, which substitutes relations
for reciprocity and threatens
commercial warfare with our
est customers" Mr.. Foss was
formerly a republican and left
that party in 1908 on account of
its high tariff procliyities and the
issue of Canadian reciprocity.
His election has given the demo
|crats renewed hope of carrying
the next House. In this connec-
ton. some comments Of the lead
ing men of the country may be
found interesting:
Champ Clark says:
The election of Foss, in.
connection with the recent cleo
ton in Massachusetts, can only
mean one thing-people will
have none of Taft's policies nor
the policies of the republicans in
the house. It is an unmistakable
condemnation of the Aldrich-
Payne tariff act. Its an indi-
cation of what may be expected
next November in the general
elections"
Representative Folker, of New
York says:
There is no use arguing that
it is not an indication of the next
congressional elections a n d
proves to my mind, that the
democrats will carry the next
house."
Senator Money says:
Its simply glorious. | had
expected an expression of pop
ular disapproval of the republi-
can party, butt had not antici-
pated anything half so great as
was accomplished in Massacnu-
setts."
Representative Lloyd of Mis-
souri, says:
1.-The victory is a forerunner
of what may be expected in the
general elections. In my judgs
ment it will be a repetition of the
1904 campaign when the McKin-
ley tariff was the issue and we
carried the country by an over
whelming majority. The Aldrleh-
Payne tariff was the leading is
sue in the election, and was the
first opportunity for the people
to express their views ,on that
Foss' election is1sa3
surprise, of course. We thought
we would reduce the republican
plurality, but did not look for
such a landslide"

Now, the spectacle is presented
of these same republican leaders,
who made the most noise about
the effort to depose a bereaved
widow in 1893, endorsing the
record of a man guilty of an of
tense which shocks the senses of
every fair-minded man, orIwo-
man, who has heard the story.
Not content with having re-
moved a widow from Office, by
questionable methods, he actually
boasts about it and filings de-
fance into the faces of those who
dared to defend her character.
And these Henderson county re

not far distant when the great
Commoner's fight for the peo-
pie will result in the complete
overthrow of the Ioligarchy now
holding forth at Washington.
President Taft broke faith with
the people when he. lined up with
Aldrich and Cannon in support
of that Ubiquitous tariff law i'm
posed upon the country last year
and the folks are registering
their disapproval of his conduct
in a manner that may bereasily
understood. Two special cleo
tons have been held since the
Payne-Aldrich tariff law became
effective and the result of each
showed surprisingly large demo-
cratic gains. An election was
held.in the sixth Missouri dis
trict a few weeks ago. for the
purpose of selecting a successor
to the late Congressman De-
Almond who lost his life in burn
ing building from which he was
endeavoring to rescue a grand
son, resulted in a sweeping VIC

J and rolled up a democratic ma
jority that caused republicans to

C. Lowering, republican. in the
lower house of congress. Mr..
lowering majority at the last
election was IA, $50; the majority
accorded to Mr.. Foss in the re.
cent contest was $3.50, a gain,
for the democrats, of 10, 1870.
The victory of Mr.. Foss in the
