AS JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES SEES

Under the head of Progressive
Democracy in Georgia" John Temple
Graves once more hobs up to view
in the New York American with the
following editorial on the results Of
the state primary elections in Geor-
gia. The editorial in the American,
in which we detect Col Graves YER
balistic earmarks, is as follows.
The result Of the Georgia primar-
les illustrates the point that the re-
publican insurgents have no monop-
oily of progressive politics.
"Hoke Smith has come back on
the wave Of revolt that is sweeping
the country. Handsome Hoke Smith
scoin of that ante-bellum aristocracy
that, save in his own person, has not
been represented in the governors
chair since the administration Of
General Gordon, is the idol Of the
Georgia farmers and the champion
of the masses against the unregulat-
ed rule of corporations.
He is, of course, sure of his sec
ond term-since a democratic nomi
nation in Georgia is equivalent to an
election
THE Georgia congressman who
went out of their way last session to
follow the lead of Tammany Hall in
carrying success to Speaker Cannon
have suffered a stunning rebuke.
THE defeat, on this score, of Leon
idas F. Livingston, Of the fifth dis
trict-a man Of great influence and
the oldest member of Georgia's con-
gressional delegation-is specially
noteworthy. 1t goes to show that so
cial prestige is slight asset in a
case of political bankruptcy.
j Perhaps the real hero of the Geor-
gia election is Thomas w. Hardwick
He was nominated for congress in
the tenth district in the fiercest of
the campaign-carry the poll against
two opponents and against the barb
ed and bludgeoned wrath of the dy-
ing Gaul, Tom Watson"

souTh's DEMOCRATIC VICTORY

The New York World has no doubt
of the success of the Democratic par
ty in the coming elections. Indeed.
the World goes further in its predic-
tons of Democratic victory than any
The size of the Democratic victory
that will be announced On the morn
ing of November next, will be stag
gering 1t will include an overwhelm-
ing majority in the House Of Repre-
sentatives ard gain of many United
States Senators. Ohio, the Presi-
dents own state, will be lost to the
Republicans. New York, the state OF
the ex.President, will be sweepingly
Democratic. Majorities will be so
large that people will tire of comput-
ing them.
Not through Democratic virtues
and abilities but in spite OF Demo-
cratic blunders and weaknesses are
those things to come about; not be-
cause there are more American pro
gressives than stand-patters, not as
rebuke to this man CT that man in
particular but as a condemnation of
many men; not as a rejection
OF one policy but as a reputation of
many policies; not as an evidence of
monetary Indignation but as vcicing
the demand of great and free PEG
pie for light, for truth, for pustice,
for economy, for peace!
The World sizes up the Republic
can situation in the following vigo-
rcus Language.
What are these bitter Republican
Quarrels but attempts in advance to
escape the judgment which all know
is at hand? There is mad rush for
safely Responsible men are posing
as irresponsibles. Old offenders mas
querade as innocents. Sacrifices are
offered up in the hope that the popu-
lar wrath may be appeased. There is
talk even OF third term in the
White House for the vociferous and
lawless person under whom Cannon
and Aldrich and Payne and Sherman
and Dalzell got their strangle grip on
party and country.
In spite Of all this there will be
no mistake about that which p to
take place in November. II Is to be
more a Republican defeat than q
Democratic victory; more a popular
uprising against plutocracy and priv.
ilege than a party revival; more q
matured verdict on Rooseveltism
than Upon Republicanism; more a
rebuke Of Taft as proxy than OF Taft
as President; more an expression OF
hope in Democracy than of faith in
Democracy.
And the World adds its familiar
slogan, Turn en- the light" ~
