Why They Won.
Congressman Webb Gives H!s Views On
Democratic Victories.
BELIEVES The REVOLT

Broken Tariff Promises. Bossisn,.
Cannonisn and Standpatism" and
Predicts Democratic Victory in
November and Two Years Hence.
The Washington correspondent OF
The News and Courier says when
Congressman Edward =. Webb. OF
the 9Th North Carolina district. was
in Washington day or two ago. he
said: Broken promises with reiec-
ence 70 revising the tariff. bossism.
Cannonism and standpatism are the
chief causes Of the nationwide re-
volt against the Republican party at
the present time. Champ Clark will
be the next Speaker
Analysed closely the statement Of
Ar. Webb will be found to 5e the
i
keynote OF the causes that are fast
leading to Q Democratic victory IN
the next Congress and to national
victory in 1872.
Continuing. NG. Webb said: Think
OF It. the las; Democratic Senator in
Maine was elected In lsz7. just sixty
three years ago. He was James w.
Bradbury. Maine has not elected a
Democratic Representative since 1855
more that half century ago. She
hasn't elected a Democratic Governor
in thirty years. but now she is TO
have q Democratic Governor. DEM
eccatic United States Senator and two
OF her Representatives will be Dem
ocratic.
| Maine has Is counties and the
Democrats carried thirteen Of these
erstwhiie Republican stronghold and
won a Democratic Legislature By a
big majority. This news pressases
a tremendous Democratic victory In
the next House and the election OF q
Democratic President in 1912. The
Republican party in the nation Is
worn out. scattered, routed and
beaten. The bottom has dropped ou;
| The same influences that are caus
ing voters IN othe. States TO turn to-
wards Democracy are al work N
North Carolina The State Denocra
cy Is IN ane shape and We will pol
a much bigger vote in November thar
We did two years ago. The Repub
licans are on the defensive and ar.
spending most of their time apollo
gtsing for having made Doodle. booze
and bonds the party enemies. We
will redeem the three districts thai
went Republican three years ago ant
North Carolina again will have :
solid Democratic delegation in Con
gress
Viewed from a Washington stand
point. and there is none better any
whore from which TO fi1 the polit!ca
level. the G. o. P. is rotten TO the
core. as Mr. Webb says. The sacrec
elephant which has marched trium
ohantly TO the White House :or man,
years is grierous,y sick and even Dr.
! Roosevelt and other well-knowo par
ty specialists are unable TO effect /:
cure. None Of them are willing Il
diagnose the case. though mos, siren
uous efforts are being made to rem
edy the situation.
The truth Of the matter ia the Re
publican party. with a record o.
years OF greed and self!shness /,
choking itself to death. I, has be
come so fat with the effect OF spoil.
gotten at the peoples expense tha, /,
is about to pay the penalty and for
felt its life. The result OF such 6
condition Is that everywhere through.
out the country the Democrats are
! preparing for Triumphant: entry in.
c the SD Congress with the posi-.
oility also OF capturing the White
House two years later. Z
