A DANGEROUS POLITICAL
PARTY UNDER THE KNIFE

A DANGEROUS POLITICAL
PARTY UNDER THE KNIFE
There is at least one strange fact con-
nected with..the,recent election, which
every republican of the land should
ponder sobberly and we'll.
It is that Republican Headquarters
in New York REJoICED WITH TAMMA-
NY over the democratic victory in that
state. 1t is literally true that joy and
happiness reigned supreme at the head
quarters of the Grand Old Party when
the news came that the democrats had
swept the state.
Here is a nut for republicans to crack.
1t is as hard as another one, noted some
time ago, that Speaker Cannon, when
about to be deposed by the Pro- gressiye-
of his own party, called upon Tamma-
ny for help AND GOT IT.
In the recent case it seems quite plain.
ly evident that the republican machine
in New York had turned traitor and
joined forces with Tammany, and that
the two machines had worked together
for the overthrow of the ticket which
was supported by Mr.. Roosevelt.
Now, other things may be corrupt,
but Tammany is corruption; other
things may be abomiuable, but Tam
many is abomination.. It stands for
plunder Of the public treasury, for the
most shameless graft, for legalized pill
lage in high places. 1t supports the
predatory interests. 1t serves Special
Privilege, which is waxing fat off the
American people. Tammany is
stencil in the nostrils of the American
nation.
Yet this is the sort of alliance which
tehe standpat machine in New York
chose to make. 1t proves clearly the
pertidy and dishonor Of the republican
organization of the greatest state in the
Union,
1t has become plain that the pro-
gressive wing of the republican party is
really struggling for a principle that is
'true and righteous altogether" and
that the foaces which oppose itare uni
ting under the SAME BLACK FLAG, ir-
respective of party ties or names.
We need not be deceived. Unless
progressive republicanism triumps, the
republican party is doomed. Standpat-
tism could not come OPENLY before the
people and survive an election. If
American voters ever get chance at
it, their vengeance will be swift and
terrible, and it will be extirpated for
good and all. Will someone try to in
duce Mr. Aldrich to run for president,
if there is any doubt on this score?
Standpattism is cancer that has
fastened itself upon the republican par
ty. 1t may be incurable, but if so, the
party must die. Already the sore is
slonghing, and people are turning from
it with loathing. 1t seems TO be case
for the surgeons knife, and the opera
ton must be deep to be successful. Be
ing interpreted, the recent election APP
pears 10 be crude attempt on the part
of the American people to perform said
operation themselves. 1t was unskilled
it me near some vital organs, but the
patient survived. The trouble is that,
as is often the case, the disease is reap
pearing. Witness Lafe Young, candi.

Sunday morning as Chas. Kom.
