THE POLITICAL. SITUATION
A. seen BY the Prohibition State Committee.

The action of the democratic
state convention dashed to shat
tered fragments the last fragile
vestige that either of the old polit-
ieal parties would stand on even
the mild county option platform.
Some months ago these enthus-
iastic and earnest people, encour-
aged by the growth Of sentiment a.
gainst the liquor abomination.
threatened to put up an independ-
ent state ticket if the Republican
party did not adopt county option
and nominate a pronounced county
option candidate. Later they a.
bandoned the independent ticket
and predicted a bolt. But Jake
Jacobson, and E. T. Young. and
P. J. Youngdahl hardly had the
political courage to leave the re-
publican party in spite of the fact
that that party would not even
agree to give "full, fair, and free
consideration" to a county option
bill. And this refusal, by a vote
of 638 to 435 is the more significant
since, in the last session of the
legislature, the republicans did
brutaily apply gag" rule, and
prevent full, fair and free con-
federation of this very bill.
Then the county optionists pin.
ned their faith to the democratic
party. The resolutions committee
ignored the liquor question en-.
tirely. Prof. Anderson, of the uni
versity, introduced a county option
plank. He was treated with every
courtesy till he pronounced the
words-'' county option, then bed
lam broke loose, and amid shrieks
bowls and catcalls his voice wa:
drowned, and he stood on his chair
frantically waving his hands, ant
shouting at top voice, but for al
that could be heard of what h
J had to say he was as silent as I
. sphinx. A few parliamentary man
euvers were performed, Prof. An
derson again tried to get the floor
and was again howled down ant
gracefully subsidized, and the demo
cratic party disgracefully went o.
record as denying free speech, AM
opposed to majority rule.

An interesting Offer.

We hear now and again that some
Of our factories are shutting down
that thousands OF men are thrown idle
and that overproduction Is the cause.
What does this overproduction mean?
Does it mean that there Is not enough
demand In the country to keep the
factories going? No: it only means
that there Is not demand enough at
the existing high prices. If the man.
ufacturers would reduce their prices.
say. to the level at which they sell the
same goods abroad there would he
plenty of demand and the workers
might still be kept busy. Every pinch
ed and poverty stricken family in the
land is a possible purchaser of these
goods. High prices are the barrier.
Here is one example which is as
good as q thousand. The Waltham
watch factory has been shut down re-
Gently. Dizziness of trade is given as
the reason, dullness of trade in spite
of the tariff Of 40 per cent on watches!
Clearly foreign competition is not to
blame here. IL trade is dull it is not
because people don't want to wear
watches. 1t is because they cannot
afford to buy them at the high prices
charged. Reduce those prices by one
third and trade will be brisk as usual.
Can the manufacturers afford to do
this? They can. They do it for the
foreigner. and what they. can do for
the foreigner they can surely do for
the American. aud. what is more. he
ought to see that they do it.
Here is letter written to the mayor
of Waltham. Mass. by one of the best
known retail watch dealers in the
country, offering to buy for cash all
the watches that the Waltham people
can make for several months to come
If they will give him the same terms
as they give the foreigner:
-, March 26, 1910.
| The Waltham watch factory is closed
| today. Four thousand men are idle. The
papers say overproduction is the cause.
| II you and the citizens of Waltham will
| induce the officers of the Waltham Watch
| company to do away with their trust
| methods. including their ''conditions Of
| sale." and sell their watches in this coun-
| try to American jewelers. at the same
price they are sold for in foreign coun-
tries | am ready to buy for cash all or
any part of the watches on hand: also
all they can make for many months to
come.
A reply from you stating the result OF
your efforts will be appreciated. Very
truly yours. -.

in harmony with one reasonable
purpose and under the order of one
head. Their power is based upon
the illegal and unwarranted use of
public property and office; upon
force, fraud and election crimes.
Police-protected dens of vice are
made to furnish enough illegal
votes to overwhelm respectable cit
izenship. Both Of the tickets NOM
mated and both Of the platforms
adopted, it is we'll understood, were
dictated by the same authority and
were intended for the delusion of
the voters and the further confisca-
tion of the power Of the political
machine. -

Among the decisions of our state

was one declaring that a minor who
enters railroad yard and catches
on a train is without redress from
the railroad company in case of &C.
cidental injury. This strikes us as
good sense as we'll as good law.
Railroad employees and agents are
annoyed to the limit by these tres

Independent Spirit GROWING.

The result of the late conventions
in the different states indicates that
there will be a large number of
independent movements politically.
The Nebraska convention of the
republican and democratic parties
point in that direction. In both,
county option was the dominant
issue. In the democratic convection
saloon people held control while the
better element headed by VIM. J.
Bryan stood firm for moral reform.
The rep lblican convention allowed
county option plank but perform
ed other acts which were not in
strict harmony with this act. In
Minnesota, neither of the dominant
parties would permit county op-
ton plank. Both conventions
plainly betrayed the fact that there
is a guiding power directing the
movements and action Of both par
ties. This is the past history of
Pennsylvania politics. Will this
political history Of Pennsylvania,
repeat itself in Nebraska and Min
nesota. At present there seems to
be no doubt that it will. In Neb-
raska it seems that Mr.. Bryan will
take the lead. In Minnesota Mr..
Lind might become the leader if he
would say so. He has the conf
dence of the people and the exper-
fence in politics and with politi-
clans in that capacity. In Wiscon-
sin La Toilette has long maintained
his leadership in the republican
ranks, though he has been fought
by stormy factions in his own par
ty as we'll as by others. Even the
national leaders of the republican
party have directed their efforts to
hamperhis work and if possible de-
feat him. But he hangs on with
bull dog tenacity and p!ods along
thrusting his fangs into the vitals
of the ''Beast'' every little while,
not even sparing President Taft.

"William H. Berry of Delaware
