The Prescott daily news., 1910-11-07

In the halls of. Congress, but up- on the hustings dozens of men who helped to make the republi. can party have denounced it in the most unqualified terms and are a unit with the democrats in the reforms of the day. Demo cracy has ever stood against the encroachments of the rights of the people as made by the tariff barons and the exceeding high cost of living of recent years is an evidence of the truth of demo cratic predictions for the past quater of century.
 Republicans promised to low CT the tariff, but the Payne, Al drich bill revised it upward and still they are claming recognition before an outraged people.
 Three or four congressional elections were held last spring in the republican strongholds of the north and east to supply vacancies in the lower house of Congress and in every instance democratic candidates were overwhelmingly elected in dis tricts that had never gone demo- cratic before. Every voter re- members how the democrats whipped the republicans to a standstill in the State of Maine in the September election, electing democratic Governor, two Congressmen out of four, and came within a few votes of electing all four Congressman, and with a legislature over whemingly democratic which will send to the next Senate a democrat to take the place of Eugene Hale, one of the bosses of the republican Senate for the past thirty years and a stand batter of the first water. Over sixty years have passed since Maine had gone democratic be- fore.
 The outlook is that the demo- crats will not only control the next Congress, but that New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Ohio will elect democratic at the November el- ection. The democrats every where are united except in Ten. nessee and under the leadership of Bob Taylor the old Volunteer State is likely to get into line, and then democracy will present a solid front for the great presi- dential campaign of 1912 when it is hoped that some friend of the people will occupy the White House, backed up by democrat ic House and Senate.
 We presume the people are familiar with Mir. Goodwin's en- thusiasm for the upbuilding of the country in the way of Fed eral aid to the states in the es- tablishment agricultural schools, the improvement of our public roads with Federal aid, the drainage of swamp and over flowed lands, as we'll as the i'm provement of our rivers. We apprend the people likewise are familiar with Mr. Goodwin s re. cord in the State Senate in be- half of labor legislation as well as his bill for the enlargement of the powers of the railroad com mission which has resulted in saving to the shippers and con sumers of the state of oyer S100,- GOO a year, as well as his legis-
