PUZZLED on HOW TO

Democrats Can't Find Fault VIA

There Is q lot OF Democratic cam
paign material for sale cheap In D.
troit just now. It II all on account
OF the nomination OF Proctor X. Owens
as the Republican candidate for
mayor. Notwithstanding the stories
that have gone around to the eiEect
that the nomination OF Owens was .

ers figured on the nomination Of Bre1t-
meyer and laid their plans accord
ingly.
Every little slip Mayor Breitmeyer
ever made, every little break" that
had appeared In published interviews
and every blunder. great and small,
had been carefully boarded up In the
Democratic archives against the timo
when Mayor Phil should launch hin
campaign for reelection. William B.
Thompson and his lieutenants were
prepared to rake the Breitmeyer ad-
ministration fore and aft with their
broadsides. but the nomination Of
Owens upsets all their plans.
With Breitmeyer out of the rum
ming, IL Is useless to waste ammunl-
ton In tearing his record to pieces,
and Just how to frame the issue with
Owens Is a problem that presents
some diflculties There is nothing
wrong with his platform; the Demo
Gratis admit that. They couldn't do
otherwise because It too closely re-
sembles Thompson's. Owens IL abso-
lutely committed to municipal owner
ship, having declared himself long
ago. He Is also out for lower taxes.
In fact, he Is the poor mans candi-
date and he appears to have a strong
following among the workingmen. Ia
fact, Owens expects to draw his
strongest support from the classes
with whom Thompson was most popu-
lar In previous years. The Democrats
propably will argue that Thompson,
by reason of his long experience az
city treasurer and one term as the
city's chief executive, Is better quail
fed for the position than his opponent.
However, the leaders have not den-
nitely determined just what line will
be followed. That they are taking
Owens candidacy seriously seems
certain. for they are planning to put
up just as vigorous q campaign ~
they would have had Breitmeyer won
the nomination. 1t is an interesting
and unusual situation.
Anyway. we start out with $1,000
votes" said a prominent Democrat
Tuesday. THAT includes the 1000 or
more Democrats who voted their own
ticket at the primary and the 5000 odd
who voted for Owens while enrolled
as Republicans. That's pretty fAtE

Party win Unite for Principle.

Republicans have been doing some
lively scrapping among themselves and
no mistake. but now that nominations
are made and the question Is the su.
premacy OF Republican principles as
against Democratic victory which
would be the certain result OF Rcpub-
lican division. there viii be Just as
lively getting together. and the party
will present solid front to the enemy
on election day. The Democratic hope
OF success Is based only on Republican
disscnsion. The free trade party de.
olnres no policy except Its opposition
to tho Republican policy OF protection.
promises nothing except what amounts

The pre.Iden, and conaress.

Speaking at the New York State
Fair on September 18th, former Presi-
dent Roosevelt said:
The president of the United States.
Mr.. Taft. has served his country hon.
orably and uprightly In many posi-.
tions-as Judge. as governor Of the
Philippines, as secretary Of war. and
now as president-for to him and the
congress acting with him we owe the
creation Of tariff commission, the
adoption of maximum and minimum
tarin law treaties with foreign pow
ers. the proper treatment OF the
Philippines under the tariff. the In.
crease In the efficiency Of the inter
state commerce law. the beginning OF
n national Legislative program provid-
ing for the exercise OF the taxing
power in connection with corpora
tons doing an interstate business. n
postal savings bank bill. the consti-
tuition of n commission to report n
remedy for overcapitalization In con-
nection with the issue OF stocks and
bonds"
It's good record worthy of the
commendation. No congressional
record surpasses II for accomplish
ment OF useful and progressive re.
suits. There Is one way and only one
way to make certain the continuance
OF legislation for the public good and
that Is to return n Republican major
ity to the neIt house OF representa-
tives.
