An Indictment Read 1t.

BY JOHN FREEMANTLE, IN PHE PUBLIC.
The Republican party is dying. Cor

genius hais departed. and. heavy with
the Iootsand spells Of the country it Is
tottering toga fall. White the eyes of
the people have been for years blinded
to it's vices by the glory Of its battle,
fields. as the light fades its nakedness
and horror stand revealed.
Instead of looking around it with,
human eyes upon the needs Of the coun-
try the Republican party has created
an independent class Of rich and per
mitted them TO withdraw by privilege
and immunity. from the restraints of
the law. It has established that order
of things ia which Princes of Privilege,
booted and spurred, are allowed to put
intb governmental form their claim for
the privilege of riding the many. It
has pandered to the perverted CONNER
cial morality of the age. It has served
those private interests that are always
enlisted ag ainst the cause of the peo-
pie. Itnever could be made to under
stand that CO allow the System to take
man by the throat and rob him under
the guise Of an ubiquitous tariff was no
guaranty of tranquility or prosperity,
It never was able TO realize that cor :
ruption by wealth will lower the moral
tone Of cur people and that morality is

The people have learned that patriot

ercise no control. They find that their
government has been SURRENDERED by the
leaders Of the Republican party into
the hands Of an irresponible aristocracy

Rankin Wiley's Electio i.

overwhelming that Jas. A.

Congress from the Fifth West
Virginia District by the grossest
and most palpable fraud we
would not like to see Mr.. Wiley
seated, as result Of the pending
contest before the House of Rep

On the sworn testimony of re-

K. Foster Murray, Washington cor
respondent of The Norfolk Yireinian-Pi;-
lot, sends the following to his paper: I
The ION. Henry 81: George Tucker,
who was for four terms the representa-
tive Of the Tenth Virginia district in.
Congress, who is 4 former president of
the American Bar Association and who
came very near being nominated for
governor of the,statein the Democratic
primary of 1909, was seen here in the
lobby of the Willard hotel the other at
,ternoon, as he was leaving for Norfolk
after short trip to the capital city
When asked what he thought Of the
political outlook, Mr.. Tucker spoke
most enthusiastically of the fine chanc-
es of the Democracy in the campaign
of 1912. ss.t.
Who is your judgement, !" Mr.. Tuck
er was asked, lis the proper man to
lead in the fight for the Democracy and
what will be the issues -
II think. !" was Mr. fuckers answer,
that the people Of this country have
made the issue already; and that no
convention Of either party and no lead
.ers Of either party G n brush it aside.
The issue is the doctrine of reduced
taxation. It is the issue on which the
Democracy has always won; it is the
issue that will sweep us irresistibly into
power next fall: it is the doctrine Of
low tariff against high tariff. of areve-
nue. tariff against protective tariff.
Of course there will be side sues. but
that will be the great commanding,
Overwhelming issue before the people.
AS to leaders, we have an abun-
dance Of riches Underwood, Clark,
Folk, Harmon, Foss and Wilson any
one of whom would fill the place, and
in my judgement, fill it to the satisfac-
ton of the country, but the man who
today stands out IN bold relief as the
greatest aggressive force of militant
Democracy is Governor Woodrow Will
son, of New Jersey. As an exponent
of the Democratic position on the tariff
Governor Wilson would make canvass
which would electrify- the country by
It's brilliancy, and force conviction Upon
even unwi ling ears. :
Hardly less important than the tar

tions Of our country; and no man since

by Frank A. Munsey. He Is now
esteemed one Of the very rich men OF
the United States, having become a
capitalist-that is 10 say, a man who
has money in such great amounts that
he is able to invest it largely in i'm
portant enterprises and in various Sc.
curities. Yet for some years after Mr..
Munsey came to New York he knew
what it was to struggle, to face adj
verse circumstances, with the chances
greatly against success
Mr.. Munsey was asked one day, after
his position as man Of great capital
had become recognized, to what he at.
tributed his success.
